The BEST WAY to Bounce MIDI and AUDIO Back in CUBASE

[@elkuervojuarez1890]

You.... are a life saver... I have a section with 20 backing vocals... that are eating away my computers resources... this will be amazing way to ease the cpu

[@JefKnightLIVE]

Don't mean to be picky here, Chris, but you left out a very important thing: deliverables/archiving. If you RiP using only the Event's start time, like in this video, the guy you send these tracks to (or your future self) will have to "figure out" where this rendered track starts and mess around to put it where it goes if they are importing the archived/rendered tracks for a fresh mix, especially if someone else is mixing them at another studio. What I do, even with both midi and audio renders, especially if it's just a short bit mid-way through the song, is turn the Snap on and use the Pen Tool to write a fake/null bar at the start of the song, then select that Event also when rendering, that way your new file begins at Song Start Time, not at some random place within the song. This is also a good idea for "Tails" because it's "natural" as opposed to forced by the Rip Dialogue and you'll get it right every time. Cheers

[@Sesaon3]

Jef for Deliverables/Archiving the Multitrack Audio Export in Cubsae 11 Pro is the way forward. However, if someone doesnt have that version then totally agree with your blank event at the beginning idea, which I used to do prior to 11 Pro. You could probably produce a logical editor preset or macro to insert that blank with a shortcut.

[@mixdownonline]

I agree, but that is not what the video is about, I'm talking about Bouncing MIDI and Audio Back in your Cubase session during production. But if someone wants to use Render in Place for Mixing or to send to someone else, what you suggest is what I would do in this case to keep everything in sync. I actually made a video on Preparing your tracks for Mixing months ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGKxhIprhpWKmqs :)

Hi Chris, I’m using Halion Sonic7 in Cubase12, I have setup Halion With 3 inputs, the main input 1 and 2 Midi tracks input 2& 3, I have loaded 3 sounds, I have assigned the outputs I/P main to output main I/P 2 to o/p 2 I/p 3 to o/p 3 inside Halion, I have in the inspector on the Halion tabs assigned the correct out puts to the correct place, I play Midi on input 2, Midi track it shows up in the mixer going out on the activated second channel everything as expected. To clarify, I have 3 separate inputs going to 3 separate outputs working fine, now I want to render in place a MIDI track, I select the MIDI track, highlight the MIDI track and render, what I actually get then is the 3 tracks rendered, my track has the correct data the other two are empty, what `I can’t fathom is why all three rendered

[@davidball7211]

Great video Chris as always. Can you answer one question for me that I cant figure out. After rendering with effects (print track) is there a way to use a solo / mute feature in Cubase that allows you to quickly jump back and forth between tracks like an audition feature without having to click solo on and off for each track? I'd like to have a setup where I just select the track and it plays the audio without clicking on the solo / mute buttons. I do this to compare the sound quality before and after the render / print track process. Please advise and thx for all that you do for the Cubase community.

[@MorisoniProductions]

Don't know if this is what you mean, David, but in Cubase preferences under Editing/Project & MixConsole, there is an option 'Enable Solo on Selected Track'. When this is checked, if you solo a track and then select another track, the solo status will be moved to that track. So you can just use your arrow key in the Project to select which track to solo. Also, you can assign a shortcut to that preference and thus turn it on or off with a key command. Very handy.

[@mixdownonline]

Thanks Henry, you got it :)

[@MakingMadBeats]

Nice video.I have a few guestions after watching the video: 1) can I render midi instruments and audio files in one audio file? 2) if I have 3 stereo midi instruments and 1 mono midi instrument and render them in one stereo file What's happening with that mono instrument?

[@mixdownonline]

1) Yes you can 2) The mono instrument will be bounced with the 2 stereo instrument in that one Stereo file. The panning of the Mono instrument will be respected. Same as if you Export these 3 VSTi in one Stereo audio file

[@R1PPA-C]

One thing to note about the channel settings, the sidechain's do not transfer, if you're rendering out a lot of stems make sure to go through every channel and re assign the sidechain to the new channel

[@elijahmant2855]

Hi, Chris. Thanks for your educational video. nicely explained. Thanks, Man. I've tried this and it works great. But only in Stereo. Is there a way to adjust or set the render to render the midi file, which is Stereo , to render in Mono?

I use render in place because the people I work with want audio files. However, I've been wondering if I should use the export features when I have all vst instruments and put them back in the project. What is better in this case? Render in place or export individual tracks and put them back in the project? Thanks Chris! Cubase rocks!!!!!

[@mixdownonline]

The good thing about Export is that it will keep the channel names for all your tracks opposed to Render in Place that will keep the same name for all channels selected

Chris, thanks for the great Cubase education. Question please? In Cubase Pro 11: Say I have a drum loop that resonates at a pitch that is slightly sharp or flat from A 440. Say, 433 1/3.

Hi Chris,i think most have this problem.Midi notes that are separated while recording via the keyboard..I need to know how to get them all closely attached(not glued together) to each other to create smooth sounding notes.Dragging them one by one is a mission,please create a video of how to do this.This is what i struggle with on all my songs,and most of the time i have to deactivate the snap function and its a mission to get the notes attached .Thanks Chris.

Hi Chris. Great video, thank you. Is there a way to bounce midi/audio so that (using a synth+channel FX as an example), the (uneffected) synth is on one track and the FX (wet signal) is bounced on to a 2nd track?

[@davidkellymitchell4747]

Thanks! I still don't see why there can't be a one button option to print VST instruments to the track in real time, in record with .WAV files instead of midi. I understand the advantages of midi but I also understand the advantages of audio files when your trying to punch in and synchronize WAV files with a track that never was midi. I need it so bad I've always used two computers and two audio interfaces just so I can record vst instruments in audio tracks immediately, no processing. It's just like the old days playing audio from a hardware synth.

Great video as usual, Ive run into an issue these days about this topic, is there a way to render a file with the sidechain responses of lets say a vocal or a kick that relates to the track ? I only could if I Mixdown and have to route everything on one bus , is there an easier way ? Thanks , take care !!

[@mixdownonline]

The best is to solo the Source track with the track where the sidechain is applied and Export. From the Export window, check , beside "After Export" select "Create an Audio Track" so it will Export it back in your project right away.

[@Somedei]

@@mixdownonline thanks Chris, your channel is gold

[@arriereitor]

Greta video Chris, but Ive a question. When I use render in palce with Addictive Drums there are two chanels , OH and Room , empty. Can you explain how to print those two channels? Thank you a lot

[@mixdownonline]

You need to Route the sounds inside Addictive Drums to the correct AD Outputs. I don,t have AD though

[@ciscofuentes1428]

So this would help with vocals that have some fx on them to free up speed and memory usage? In other words, if there is a reverb, delay, etc, & you want to have the fx print with them you could render in place and then won't need the fx taking up performance speeds and so on?

Hello Chris! I don't know what I'm doing wrong that whenever I render several events on one track, it always creates one audio track no matter which mode I choose. I marked 2 events on one MIDI track with the Retrologue plugin and set the rendering in place to separate events mode. Cubase always creates one audio track without separating audio events.

[@mixdownonline]

If the mode is Separated Events, it should Render in Separated Events unless the TAIL Time Size overlaps the follow events, then you will end up with one Event only even if Separated Events mode is selected
