Auditioning Using the Audition Tool

You can use the audition tool to directly start a single audition of a selection or loop an audition using the Audition Loop function.

Clicking Audition on the toolbar plays back the edited audio, according to the following rules:

  • If you have selected events in the part, only the section between the first and last selected event will be played back.

  • If you have made a range selection, only this section will be played back.

  • If there is no selection, the whole part will be played back. If the project cursor is within the part, playback starts from the current cursor position. If the cursor is outside the part, playback starts from the beginning of the part.

  • If Audition Loop is activated, playback will continue until you deactivate Audition. Otherwise, the section will be played back once.

When auditioning with the Speaker tool or Audition icon, audio will be routed directly to the Control Room (Cubase Pro only) or to the main mix (the default output bus) if the Control Room is disabled. In Cubase Artist, the main mix bus is always used for auditioning.
