Hitpoints
Hitpoints mark musically relevant positions in audio files. Cubase can detect these positions and create hitpoints automatically by analyzing onsets and melodic changes of the audio.
Slices
You can create slices from hitpoints, where each slice ideally represents an individual sound or beat of the audio.
Slices and the Project Tempo
The project tempo affects how the sliced audio is played back.
Closing Gaps
If the project tempo is slower than the tempo of the original audio event, there may be audible gaps between the slice events in the part. You can close these gaps so that the audio plays without any breaks.

Closing Gaps

If the project tempo is slower than the tempo of the original audio event, there may be audible gaps between the slice events in the part. You can close these gaps so that the audio plays without any breaks.

Procedure

Do one of the following:
- Select Audio > Advanced > Close Gaps (Time Stretch) to apply time stretch to each slice and close the gaps.
  
  Consider activating auto fades for the corresponding audio track, and setting the fade-out to 10 ms to eliminate clicks.
- Select Audio > Advanced > Close Gaps (Crossfade) to apply crossfades to the slices and close the gaps.

After Completing This Task

Note

If you decide to change the tempo again, undo your actions and use the original, unstretched file.
