I have been using Reaper occasionally for some editing purposes recently, and discovered a very helpful tool called ‘Open In Primary Editor’. This is a key command which allows me to select a clip, and then open the chosen clip within Audition, directly within Reaper using one command.
Is anything like this possible in Cubase? Ideally I would want to select a single clip in a project, and open that clip in Audition for additional editing purposes.
The closest you can get through Cubase is having Finder/File Explorer open with the correct file selected (Audio > Find Selected in Pool, then Media > Show In Explorer/Reveal in Finder).
You could use an external program (AutoHotkey, or some such) that triggers those key commands in Cubase, then runs Audition on the selected file in Explorer/Finder.
Not my workflow, so best on someone else to comment on possible file lock problems when having the same file open in multiple programs.
EDIT: Quick perusal of past posts states that you’ll e.g. lose all offline processing information on the file, there might be other cons too.
