The Master Track editor also adds “Hitpoints” to Cubase VST. These are used to match time positions to meter positions, for example to make a certain musical cue fit a scene in a film or video.
Hitpoints come in two flavors, meter and time based. “Meter Hits” are shown on the upper Hitpoint strip and “Time Hits” are shown on the lower. You can hide all Hitpoints by using the Hitpoint button on the Status Bar, see page 548 in this chapter. Utilizing Hitpoints, tempo changes can be created which make the music fit any type of cue. More on working with Hitpoints in the next chapter.
