Export Audio Mixdown
Introduction
The Export Audio Mixdown function in Cubase allows you to mix down audio from
the program to a file on your hard disk.
You always mix down an output channel. For example, if you have set up a stereo
mix with tracks routed to a stereo output bus, mixing down that output bus would
give you a mixdown file containing the whole mix.
Please note the following:
• The Export Audio Mixdown function mixes down the area between the left and
right locators.
• When you mix down, you get what you hear – mutes, MixConsole settings,
record enable, and insert effects are taken into account.
Note though that you will only include the sound of the channel you select for
mixdown.
• MIDI tracks are not included in the mixdown!
To make a complete mixdown containing both MIDI and audio, you first need
to record all your MIDI music onto audio tracks (by connecting the outputs of
your MIDI instruments to your audio inputs and recording, as with any other
sound source).
Mixing down to audio files
PROCEDURE
1. Set up the left and right locators to encompass the section you want to mix
down.
2. Set up your tracks so that they play back the way you want.
This includes muting unwanted tracks or parts, making manual MixConsole settings
and/or activating the R (Read) automation buttons for some or all MixConsole
channels.
