Hi

Im using cubase how can i record my vst melody from a midi channel to a wav track in cubase? without exporting the melody as a wav file and importing it.

Thanks

basically still in the same project

With my jp i just import a wav track and press record and it records what is playing on the midi channel to the audio track

if i understand correctly...when exporting, click on 'pool' that will automatically insert the recorded wav into the sequencer.

nah i wanna record my melody from say v station as a wav file, but i dont wanna export as a wav ect i wanna just hit record so it like records it to a audio track

If you're talking about rendering the synth to .wav to lighten your CPU load, Cubase SX 2/3 has a built in function for that. In the VST instruments panel (F11) there is a button called Freeze, click that and your synth and effects on that track will be rendered as audio files, and you'll have some spare CPU power for another synth


Edit: And if it's not freezing you're after, and you just want the wav clip of that one synth, you can do the same thing, freeze the track, then go open your "Audio" folder and Cubase will have created a wav file from the synth, just copy that file somewhere else and then unfreeze the track again. Voila, you have a Wav file with just one synth sound in it

I know what you're talking about d00d. Your ability to do this is going to depend on what kind of sound card/mixer you have.

The only way to do this properly is to route your track to its own bus (ASIO out) and record it either by hardwiring it to an audio in (usually with a mixer, but you can always connect a cable directly from your line in to your line out), or using ASIO direct monitoring.

Not all cards support ASIO direct monitoring. In fact, most don't. I have Cubase set up to do exactly what you're asking with the Emu 1010 (Emulator X). It has an onboard mixer, so all I have to do is create a dedicated ASIO out channel which I call "recorder out", route its side chain to another ASIO in (which I call "recorder in", then connect these channels to ins/outs in Cubase using the "VST connections" tool.

That may have gone right over your head, and if so I apologize; bottom line is, what you're asking is kind of complicated even if you have a high-end sound card and/or an external mixer, and might be impossible if you don't have either one.

I suggest you google "ASIO direct monitoring", you will probably find some better answers there.

Really, I can't see the advantage of this over a regular bounce, unless your soft-synth has un-synced LFOs that might require multiple "takes" to get right.
