Group Editing Mode

The Group Editing mode for folder tracks allows you to edit parts and events in a folder as a group.

If Group Editing is activated and you select an event, a part or a range on a track inside the folder track, other events, parts, or ranges that have the same start and end time and the same playback priority, are also selected and temporarily grouped. This allows you to edit different drum tracks for bass drum, snare, and toms at the same time, for example.

Temporary grouping means that, on every new selection with the Object Selection or the Range Selection tool, Cubase looks for corresponding events or parts inside the folder and groups them. If you edit the start or the end point of a single event or part before activating the Group Editing mode, the event or part is excluded from the group.

Edit actions in Group Editing mode affect all grouped events, parts, or ranges. If you select another take by using the To Front submenu, all other tracks inside the edit group also switch to the corresponding take. This is useful for comparing takes of a multi-track recording.

If Phase-Coherent AudioWarp is activated, the relation between all tracks inside the folder track remains intact when performing AudioWarp operations. This is useful, for example, for warping multi-microphone recordings with crosstalk or pre-mixed multi-channel audio.

Note
  • Group Editing overwrites any regular group settings in the edit group.

  • Phase-coherent AudioWarp editing requires events with the same start point and length and only allows for warp markers at the same time positions. If the events in your edit group do not meet these requirements, activating Phase-Coherent AudioWarp opens a warning message. Click Bounce to bounce the events of your edit group, in order to create files that allow phase-coherent editing.
