Importing Audio Files into the Audio Pool

From the Audio Pool you can import files created by other programs, or files you have created in another Cubase VST Song.

File Formats

Files in the following formats can be imported:

• Wave (WAV), Audio IFF (AIFF) or MP3.
• Mono or Stereo.
• Any Sample Rate.
• 16 or 24 bit resolution (if you are using Cubase VST/32, you can also import 32 bit float audio files).

P If you import files with another sample rate than the one used in the Song, they will play back at the wrong speed and pitch.

 

Proceed as follows:

 

1. Pull down the File pop-up menu and select Import Audio File.

 

A file dialog appears.

 

2. Select a file format (WAV, AIF, MP3 or all three) from the File Type pop-up. Files of the selected type(s) will be listed in the file dialog box.

 

3. Use the file dialog box to locate the file and select it.

• You can audition the audio file with the Play button.
When you click the Play button, its label changes to “Stop” and the selected audio file is played back. Playback continues until you click on Stop, or select another file.

• You can select several files by using the [Shift] or [Ctrl] keys, in standard Windows fashion.

4. Click “Open”.
Now, the File(s) will appear in the Audio Pool window, each complete with a segment which can be dragged into the Arrangement, as described above.

P You can also import audio files by dragging them from the Explorer directly into the Pool. You can export segments from the Audio Pool as individual files, for use in other applications:
