If you hit ‘Stop’ you are telling Cubase you are done. Why the hell would you want it to make decisions about your production skills later? That just does not make any sense.
You can always create another track and comp them together later. It is not your software’s job to make decisions for you. The prerecord is a blessing for punch in if the engineer or player doesn’t hit it right the first time. Not sure how that ‘Post Recording’ is even something I could see anyone ever needing. Just don’t stop recording…
