Cubase 4.1 Workshop: Using the Sample Editor

Redesigned for more logical, efficient workflow, the Sample editor is a vital aspect of editing audio in Cubase 4.1. Hollin Jones finds out what it has to offer...

Sample editing – which could also be referred to as waveform editing – is one of the key capabilities of a DAW. Whether you’re doing straightforward tasks such as normalizing, cutting and pasting or something more detailed such as drawing spikes into recorded sounds, you will probably spend a lot of time in the Sample Editor. In Cubase 4.1, this window has been redesigned to appear more logical, placing the most commonly accessed tools and functions closer to hand to aid workflow. Working in the Sample Editor is more of a nuts-and-bolts affair than more flashy tasks such as patching sounds on a VST synth, but nevertheless, it is vital to achieving professional-sounding tracks.
