File List - Cubasis - 3.7

File list

The file list shows category, name, type, modification date and size of all files used in Cubasis. All files are automatically organized according to their extension (file type). The following directories are available:

Audio

All "raw material" audio files are stored here, e.g. microphone recordings, audio drum loops and imported audio files. Supported formats are: .wav, .m4a, .mp3, .ogg and .flac.

MIDI

Contains all .mid files, including a wide range of MIDI drum loops.

Audio and MIDI content is split into two subfolders (Drum loops and My audio/MIDI files). Drag and drop a file into the arranger to place it, or double tap it.

Factory audio drum loops automatically match your song's tempo when imported into the project. Learn more about tempo matching here.

Instruments

Tap an instrument preset to load and apply it to the selected MIDI track. If you have an audio (or no) track selected, a new instrument track will be created.

Projects

Cubasis refers to songs as projects. All your work is stored here, among a few project templates by Cubasis. Double tap any project file to open it, tap a template to create a new project, or simply drag it into the arranger.

Note

A project consists of a folder which includes a .cbp file (Cubasis Project File) and its associated wave and backup files. You can also open these files using Cubase on your desktop computer.

Mixdown

A mixdown is a complete exported project, all of which are stored here. You can simply re-import these files into your project if you wish, just like you would with files in the Audio or MIDI list.

Trash

Deleting a file will move it to the trash folder. Double tapping a file in the trash folder restores it to its appropriate location. Tap and hold the delete button to empty the trash.

Note

Deleting files in the trash folder will erase them from memory permanently; this process can not be undone.

You can drag and drop files by tapping and dragging a file icon in the MediaBay or tapping and holding a file anywhere in the file list.

• Delete files by dragging them into the trash folder or onto the Delete button.

• Drag projects into the Templates folder to convert them to templates.

• Drag audio or MIDI files into the arranger to place them into an existing or a new track.

• Drag any file into another folder or sub folder to move it.

• On iOS, you can drag a file from any other app (like the Files app) into the MediaBay or onto a track (provided that the file format is compatible).

Tap the top of a column in the MediaBay browser to sort your files according to the desired attribute.
