Cubase Audio Mixdown Question

Hello,

I would like some help with solving this problem please. Whenever I do an audio mixdown of say, five midi tracks and import it into a new project or whatever, the audio is merged into one single track. I would much prefer it to be imported as five different audio tracks (for easier automation, effects etc.) Is there a setting I'm missing when exporting or do I have to export each midi track individually and import each audio track individually into the new project (which is a major pain)? I hope you understand what I mean.

Any replies would be hugely appreciated.

Cheers.

You have to export each track individually. Once your arrangement is mixed down to a WAV or AIFF file, the individual parts can't be separated from one another.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I just thought there may have been an easier and/or quicker way to do it. Thanks for the reply. Nice head btw.

There is a small tool out that automates this for you.
Can't remember the name anymore. Will do a search and get back to you later.

Have fun with either!

When you select "export audio mixdown" from the file menu, on the bottom left you'll see some out put options. I forget the exact name, it might be "output channel" or something, but you should see your sound card's master stereo output chosen... in that section, you can choose to output directly from an instrument channel. So for example, you can just bounce the audio from a V-Station you're using for your bass stab. This will bounce the audio with any plugins you have on that channel so make sure you know what you want when you bounce.

Hope this helps!!

Thanks a million for taking the time to reply folks. Much appreciated.

Faris - I'll check that little tool out. Seems very good in theory but I feel it may confuse matters a little for me. I'll certainly give it a try though. Anything that speeds up this tedious process would be great. Cheers.

No Left Turn - Thanks, but is that not a pretty standard audio mixdown for one track???
