How to Add Time to a Pre-Roll in Cubase

Several powerful software applications allow users to record and master their own audio productions. Cubase is a popular digital audio workstation, or DAW. Cubase incorporates audio recording with digital synthesis to create a flexible environment in which instrumental and vocal tracks can be combined with electronic sounds. Recording is made easy through the use of a click track and pre-roll. By following a few simple steps, you quickly can adjust the length of your pre-roll.

After pressing "Record," the designated number of bars occur before audio recording is enabled.
