Select the segment(s).Selecting more than one segment is done just as with any other object inCubasis VST, by clicking in combination with the [Shift] key.2. Select Delete from the Edit menu or press [Backspace].• This way you can only delete audio files from the Pool which are notused in any part in the Arrange window (and which are greyed out inthe Pool).Deleting all Segments not used in the song (Purge)To automatically delete all segments that are currently not used in thesong, select Purge Segments from the Do pop-up menu.CUBASIS VST10 – 140 Using the Pool
Importing Files into the PoolIf you have any other audio file on your hard disk, and would like to useit in the song, you can import it into the Pool and then drag it into thearrangement, as described on page 143.File SpecificationsThe audio file must meet the following specifications:• The file format must be Wave (WAV), Audio IFF (AIFF) or MP3.• It must be an uncompressed 16 or 24 bit file (this does not apply to MP3files).• The sample rate (also called sampling frequency) of the file should be thesame as the one used in the song (see page 57). Sample rates up to 96 kHzare supported.• The file can be mono or stereo.Importing the fileBy using Drag and DropThe simplest way to import files into Cubasis VST is to drag them intothe program from the desktop or a folder on your hard disk:1. Open the Pool.2. Arrange the windows so that you can see both the Pool and the desktop(if that’s where the audio file is).3. Click on the file and drag it from the desktop into the Pool.❐It’s also possible to drag files directly from the desktop into the Arrangewindow!CUBASIS VSTUsing the Pool 10 – 141
