Cubase Tip: Seven Ways to Zoom in and out of project window

Cubase projects come in all sizes, small and large. Usually they are large enough that it becomes difficult to see the entire project in one view and also work with fine detail on a small area. That's where zooming comes in. Depending upon the stage of your workflow, including where your hands are positioned, it is valuable to be able to zoom in and out of a project quickly and easily. Cubase makes it very easy.

Here are seven different ways to zoom.

Zoom Slider - At the lower right area of the Project Zone, there is a slider along with plus and minus buttons. Use your mouse to change the zoom level with those controls.

G and H keys - With your focus in the Project Zone, type 'G' to zoom out, and 'H' to zoom in.

Drag on Ruler - The lower half of the ruler is where you normally set the project cursor. You can also click in that region, and drag up and down to zoom.

Zoom Tool - When you right click in the project zone, the toolbox appears. One of the tools is a Zoom In button. It looks like a magnifying glass with a plus sign. Select that tool, and drag left/right to establish the boundaries of your zoom. The screen will automatically zoom in to that amount.

Ctrl - Scroll Wheel - If your mouse has a center scroll wheel, that can also be used for zooming. Hold down the Ctrl key and move the scroll wheel up or down.

Existing Presets - On the lower right area of the project, just to the left of the zoom slider, there is a disclosure triangle. Click on that and you will see some Cubase-supplied zoom presets. Click on any of them for instant zoom based on the specified criteria.

Create your own preset - In the same area, you can define your own preset. Simply, change the project window to be the range that you want, then select 'Add' and name your new preset.
