Prelistening Audio Effects in the Sample Editor

Hellou everyone, I have been searching the manual, YT and the rest of the internet, before I again disgrace myself with a superstupid question, BUT I did not find a thing.
Situation: I have an arrangement in Cubase with some audio samples. One is too high and I want to have it pitched down a bit with the pitch shifter, some reverb to fatten and some flanger to widen a bit.
I double-click on the sample, the sample editor appears and i want to use these effects from the process-menu to the left, with shows all the editing I did on the sample.
How can I prelisten what I do?
I always used a separate wavetable-programme (Sony Soundforge) before, to trim and edit and pitch the audio material, but this is not fitting my workflow anymore, because I want to hear the sample-editing in context to the arrangement.
Simple question, I am sure that there is a simple solution to this, just could not find it.
Thanks for your help folks !!!

Hi,

Disable the Auto-Apply option in the DIrect Offline Process window. Then the changes are not printed to the file, but they are processed in real-time (the very same way, as the common Insert effects), until you Apply them. So you can audition the effects without printing them to the file.

I did that, but if I press “apply” (in german “übernehmen”), the sample is beaing processed, and there is no way to take it back (I used a new version of every file) This is not a handy way to pre-listen, because the “verwerfen”-button (engl. dismiss) doesn’t do anything and there must be a way to “prelisten” before “applying” or “dismissing”

made a screenshot, but don’t find the button to attach it.
maybe I have a button-blindness

found it ! :smiley:

OKAY
I found it
I did not mark the region that should be pitched. thought, it was global on the sample
that really was a bit stupid
Thanks for your help anyway!!!
