[@joelwanasekurm]

Thanks! Unfortunately most people are here to be entertained or validated. Not learn anything seriously important.

[@tomdenney9963]

Finally someone who agrees that sending sessions is a no go

14:35 in the cubase mixer you can always just reset 1 channel (eq, inserts, fader, pan etc.), highlight it, press ctrl+C and then ctrl+click or shift+click first and shift click last all the other tracks you want to reset and press ctrl+V to reset them all.

[@joelwanasekurm]

Absolutely you can. I just forgot the key command when I was filming.

[@snowandcoal]

[@joelwanasekurm]

[@DavidDavis-FA-photog]

As always Joel, very informative and educational!

[@joelwanasekurm]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mansosound]

Yes 'but' this way the mixer is gonna get all stereo tracks, no biggie but cubase could do a better job here or i simply dont see it.

[@joelwanasekurm]

Yeah cubase has a mono export button. You can’t do it all at once. Not very good way of doing it in cubase.
