Tutorial 7: Surround production (Cubase only)
2. Make sure “Cycle” is turned off (not highlighted) and
that you are starting recording at bar 1.
3. Click the “Record” button to record.
4. Click the “Stop” button when you are finished record-
ing.
5. Turn off the “Record Enable” and “Monitor” buttons for
all the tracks so that we don’t hear the inputs or record on
the tracks any more.
Congratulations! You have just recorded a 5.1 mix in Cu-
base. Move ahead to the next section to learn how to ex-
port a surround file.
Exporting a surround file
Now that we have a surround mix recorded, we will want
to export it so that we can import it into another program
such as a DVD authoring application.
• Before we can export the surround mix to another pro-
gram, we need to tell Cubase how many bars to export.
We accomplish this by setting the locators.
1. Set the left locator to bar 1 and the right locator to bar
26 on the Transport panel. This will make sure we have all
the music for export.
2. Next, open the File menu, and on the Export submenu,
select “Audio Mixdown…”.
