Hello. I’m new to the forum and to Cubasis. I’m using Cubasis 3. I want to slow down a section of an audio track. After some hours I can select a section of a track, and just today I discovered that by tapping the sel button again I can make it stay selected. I’ve seen someone moving a selected piece out of a track and then slowing it down, but I haven’t managed to move a selected piece out myself. Is there a video showing how to do that? (I think I know how to get it to slow down once it’s taken out of the track it’s in.)
I can understand English and German, but might not understand specialised terms in either language.
Thank you,
jmb
hi jmb,
I would not use the SELECT but the SPLIT function on the audio track. You can cut out the piece you need and copy it to another track or you can directly edit it then with the STRETCH function.
Hope that helps !
hi Glendathu,
Thank you for this. I’m going to try it
I haven’t managed to use the SPLIT function. I wonder if there’s a video to show how that Is done.
That’s easy, simply mark the track you want to splice, then move the playhead (the black vertikal line) to the place where you want to cut and press SPLIT. That’s it.
Besides it’s explained in the manual ! https://www.steinberg.net/fileadmin/files/PRODUCTS/Apps/Cubasis/Cubasis_Help/TR_Tools.html
Thanks. I have applied SPLIT twice and now have a section that I can move sideways in either direction, and I can slow it down. That’s big progress. I haven’t managed to slide that section down, so that it’s not aligned with the rest of the track. Perhaps the help resource has the answer to that too, but I haven’t found it yet. Anyway, thanks again.
I’ve found out that I can create a new track and move the slowed-down section into that. This solves my problem.
Hi all,
Glad to read that the problem has been solved.
In addition, it might be helpful to have a look at our available MIDI Editor Improvements tutorial, which provides further information about how to use the “Select” tool as well.
If you want to learn even more about Cubasis, please find additional tutorials about several topics right here:

Hope that helps!

Hello JMB. I find the post you wrote 3 years and half ago (!!) about issues with multiselecting tracks (or part of tracks) into Cubasis which is really a very good application. Selecting not adjacent tracks was impossible for me and very disappointing. I discover that, after selecting one track we can tap again the select icon which stay highlighted and the first selection stay valid. In this way, we can select others tracks or parts not adjacent ! And it works ! It is not very evident into the help guide which talks only about « draw out a selection rectangle to select multiple events », nor in the various tutorials !
So thank you so much for helping me with this post. Have a good music. Philippe.

Hello Philippe,
Thank you for your email and for sharing your knowledge of selecting several tracks in Cubasis. It’s very kind of you.
But I’m afraid I haven’t been using Cubasis lately at all. I used it during lockdown, but now that I can get together with other people to play music I’m not using it and I’m not sure I’d even remember how to use it.
However, I’m keeping your information about multiselection in case I start using Cubasis again.
With best wishes,
Jim Brown
