Audio Recording and Editing
Cubase Essential 4 is powered by Steinberg’s award-winning VST Audio Engine featuring professional 24-bit/96-kHz audio quality. It offers 32-bit floating point resolution for internal signal processing. With its open file handling concept, Cubase Essential 4 can use a mix of bit rates within the same project without prior conversion. Various recording modes and individually adjustable Pre-Roll und Post-Roll options let you quickly and easily create perfect recordings.
Diverse audio effects and a powerful Sample editor are available in Cubase Essential 4 for processing audio files. Alongside a vast arsenal of vital functions such as cuts, fades, pitch-shifting and time-stretching, Cubase Essential 4 features numerous special functions for adapting loops to existing audio material.
With the help of fully automatic hit-point recognition and the awesome Audio Warp tools, tasks such as adapting a drum loop to the song tempo or transposing a recording in real time are accomplished in just a few steps. In Cubase Essential 4, editing audio material is a fundamentally non-destructive operation. This means that the original, unedited audio file is always retained.
