Hi all I am working my way throught the Ignite Cubase SX 3 book and am trying to work through chapter 6 audio editing. I am at the section beginning on p79 from trimming where it tells me to double click the event, and in the sample editor click on the "event start marker" and drag it to the beginning of where the wavelength starts in order to eliminate noise at the beginning of the bar where the (drum) track starts. So I assume what this is saying is that during playback this is where the audio should start. First I don't see anything called the "event start marker" so I simply click in the editor where I see the wavelength begin and a line is put from top to bottom through the editor at that point. well the tutorial file I am working with has the wave so close to the start of the event that I figured I would not hear the difference so I went back and double clicked on the drum audio event opening the editor. I then clicked several seconds in (much further in the event) in order to get the same line I just described. I then go back to the project window and play the track and the drums start just where they did originally. so..am I missing the puropse of the tutorial? am I not finding the "event start marker"? my thought was trimming would mean whereever that line was in the editor, that is where playback would begin...BTW I have SL 3. thanks I am certain I am missing something simple. At least I hope that is it
