Background
Audio processing in Cubase SE can be called “non-destructive”, in 
the sense that you can always undo changes or revert to the original 
versions. This is possible because processing affects audio clips 
rather than the actual audio files, and because audio clips can refer to 
more than one audio file. This is how it works:
1.If you process an event or a selection range, a new audio file is created 
in the Edits folder, within your project...

Pre/post crossfade
Some processing functions allow you to gradually mix the effect in or 
out. This is done with the pre and post crossfade parameters. If you 
activate Pre-crossfade and specify a value of e.g. 1000 ms, the pro-
cessing will be applied gradually from the start of selection, reaching 
full effect 1000 ms after the start. Similarly, if you activate post-cross-
fade, the processing will gradually be removed, starting at the speci-
fied...
