CUBASE SX/SLWorking with the Tempo track 25 – 641
Using the Time Warp tool in a MIDI editor
This is very similar to using the tool in an audio editor:
• When you use the Time Warp tool, a tempo event is automatically inserted at 
the beginning of the edited part – this tempo event will be adjusted when you 
warp the tempo grid with the tool. This means that material before the edited 
part won’t be affected.

Editing audio tracks
Audio tracks can have two “subitems”: Track Data and Automation. 
• The Automation item corresponds to the Automation subtrack in the Project 
window, and contains the track’s automation events (see page 653).
• The Track Data item corresponds to the actual audio track in the Project win-
dow. It contains audio events and/or audio parts, which in turn can contain 
audio events.
Note, that if you have not performed any automation or opened an...

Editing MIDI tracks
Just like audio tracks, MIDI tracks can have two “subitems”: Track 
Data and Automation.

dow and can contain MIDI parts (which in turn can contain MIDI events).
• The Automation item corresponds to the automation subtrack in the Project 
window, and contains the track’s automation events (see page 653).
