Replacing a File in the Pool
There are situations when you may want to replace an audio file in the Pool with
another, but keep all segments that are in use. As an example, consider the follow-
ing situation:
You have used an external Wave Editor (see the chapter “Using an External Wave
Editor”) to perform some dynamic or spectral editing on an audio file. To be on the
safe side, you save the edited audio file under another name than the original. When
you return to Cubase VST, you will want to be able to replace the original file, so
that all segments reference to the new, edited audio file instead, and preferably be
able to switch back if you change your mind. Proceed as follows:
1. Click on the letter in the Disk column for the file.
A dialog appears, asking if you want to “Re-find” the file. Click “Yes”.
2. In the file dialog that appears, select the audio file that should replace
the existing file in the Pool.
In our example above, this would be the edited version of the audio file.
3. Another dialog will ask you if you are sure. Click “Sure”.
The audio file in the Pool is now replaced with the one you selected in the file
dialog. The segments keep their names and, if possible, their start and end in-
set positions. If you later want to switch back to the original file, just repeat
the operation.
● Please note that the replacing audio file must be of the same length as the
original file, for the segment start and end insets to be relevant! If you perform
any editing that involves changing the length of the file (such as time stretch,
truncating, etc), this method does not work, since you will have to create new
segments.
