This may sound very basic but I learning from a book and my teacher is away from home...
I can't open the audio part editor in cubase. I click on the audio and it opens the
sample editor. The book (Simon Milward) shows an illustraion of the audio part editor
open with several lanes of audio visible. I've looked in my user manual and watched a
youtube tutorial and still really stuck............  Help!

Double clicking on an audio part from the arrange page only opens the sample editor for
that one part selected.
You can edit from the arrange page if you want to see
multiple lanes though.
What are you trying to do?

Hello and thank you..
I'm just trying to learn how to use cubase. Just
following the text book. It says 'the editor features time on the hoizontal axis and
lanes in the vertical axis'. Then it will teach other stuff.
I've just tried
splitting and part the gluing it back together then double clicking - that seems to to
open it! Don't know why they don't tell you that.
How to I find this lanes
version?

Just realised that if I move bits of audio onto one track and glue them together then I
can open that one track in the audio editor......... that will have to do for now. Don't
know what audio editor is for yet - just learning....
Will have list of
questions for teacher when he gets back (poor soul)

I wouldn't do that.
change the start and end points for each audio part in
the arrange page to create 'blocks' of the portions of audio you want and then butt them
up next to each other. Select two joining parts and hit x, this will put a crossfade
between them to stop clicks
The way you're doing it is rather undoing the 'non
destructive' point of Cubase's operation...

Highlight the recorded audio and go to the audio menu and choose "events to part" this
shows the lane format.

Hello again
Don't know what 'arrange page' is........
Also... 'event to
part' is faded in the menu so can't use it. My book said that was for putting two or more
lanes of audio onto one - don't see how this works with just one.
This may have
to do until my teacher gets back - he teaches me using skype and its so easy. Iv'e got
somethng I can use for now - the lanes thing I can do later.
Thank you again. x

The arrange page is the main page of cubase. When you open a blank project, that is it. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ac/Cubase_4_03.jpgThe left hand side of this is the main arrange page. When you have audio
recorded on a lane you can edit it on the main arrange page, or once highlighted, go to
the Audio menu and choose event to part. This then shows the audio with a slightly
different looking box around it. You can then double click on to that and be in the audio
event editor. Here you can slice parts and arrange over lanes.

No problem. Just keep plugging away at it. There are functions I still don't know what
they do and I've been using Cubase for over 10 years in various incarnations. But I know
enough to get what I want out if it and that doesn't take too long to get to grips with.

Hang on a minute... - I did some recording in lanes - just it only work on the top lane
then?
If I keep getting stuck I'll do something else until my teacher gets back
as this e-mailing is a slooooow way of learning......

If you are recording in a loop, you get a stack of takes. You can highlight these all
together, go to Audio - events to part and the takes will show up stacked together in
lanes, inside the part. You can then unmute, slice and arrange the bits you want to keep
from the takes. The lowermost, unmuted take will always be the one playing.

No worries. This is a better distraction than my day job.
