Consolidating tracks on Cube Base HELP !!

[John Suitcase]

As far as I know, there's not a simple way to do it.

I would create a little short sound, then copy that to everytrack, at the start, like 10 seconds before the track starts (so every track starts at the same spot).

Next, highlight everything, on all the tracks you want to export.

Next, use the Bounce command.

Now, in the Audio folder for the project, you'll find all the Bounced files, by sorting by creation date. The newest files will be the bounced ones. They may be named in a useful manner, they may not.

This method won't export effects, eq, or automation, just the raw tracks. They will be edited, as one contiguous file, so if you have multiple takes, you need to make sure you've edited for the best one.

If you want to export with automation, effects, etc., you have to select each track, one at a time.

Solo track one, export to a mono file. Unsolo, and solo the next one, export, and so on.

I've often wished there was a simpler way to do it, and maybe someone knows one. But this is how I've done it...


Also-

If your version of Pro Tools supports OMF, Cubase SX 3 can export as OMF, too...

: set the left locator at the beginning of the song and set the right locator where the guitar track ends. Solo the guitar track, then file>export>audio mixdown and be sure to check the 'import to audio track' box.

I found this......

I sent it to him, i hope it helps........


Thank you for the reply,


I have enough trouble keeping up with ptools, to learn every DAW out there is way to hard,,,

Ha ha - I asked this question 2 days ago...... there is a way to do this for all of the same tracks at the same time but you have to set up a macro to do it. Go to the Cubase forums to get more info;

The stoopid way to do it (read: how I am doing it) is as follows;

1) Choose the Range Tool
2) Highlight the track you want to consolidate and hight light to the beginning of the track
3) Go to 'Audio' and choose 'Bounce Selection' - VOILA

I think this is the same thing TrueNorth is saying?

Select All
Range Tool
Select All
Bounce

stopped using cubase once i got my macbookpro, so the names might be a bit wrong, but here's the easy way to consolidate as stems, not bounce w/ plugins.

select all the events in the track, choose "convert events to region" which i think is in the "audio" menu, and then stretch the new event to the beginning of the track. choose 'bounce selection" and boom, you've got a new audio file which contains all of your audio events from the channel.

if you wanna do it w/ plug ins, simply freeze the channel and hit 'bounce.'

either way, once you've done it all, save the project to a new folder and clean out your pool-- the only audio files left will be your stems.

if you want them processed w/ sends and whatever you've got on the 2-buss, you're gonna have to bounce/export your mix w/ whatever track you want solo'd.

otherewise, the events to regions command is perfect and easy; it takes a few more steps in logic but it's avail. there as well.

(now if only logic gave me drag-and-drop timestretching like cubase does...)

slightly quicker way.

Ctrl a
P
bounce to disk

If you make a quick key for bounce to disk, you can do a very large session veeeeery quickly. The P sets the locaters to match your selection. Took me a year to find that shortcut. Timesaver!
