Export Audio Mixdown
The Export Audio Mixdown dialog
7. In the Audio Engine Output section, specify whether you want to export all
subchannels of a multi-channel bus as separate mono files (Split Channels),
downmix all subchannels to one mono file (Mono Downmix), or export only the left
and right channels of a multi-channel bus to a stereo file (L/R Channels).
For details about the settings relating to the audio engine, see “About the Audio
Engine Output section” on page 643.
8. Activate Realtime Export if you want the export to happen in realtime, see “About
the Audio Engine Output section” on page 643.
9. If you want to automatically import the resulting audio files back into Cubase,
activate any of the checkboxes in the “Import into Project” section.
For details about the available options, see “About the Import into Project section”
on page 644.
10.If you activate Update Display, the meters will be updated during the export
process.
This allows you to check for clipping, for example.
11.Click Export.
A dialog with a progress bar is displayed while the audio files are being created. To
cancel the operation, you can click the Abort button.
• Cubase only: During the realtime export of a single channel, the Audition Volume
fader is displayed in the progress dialog, see
“About the Audio Engine Output
section” on page 643. It allows you to adjust the Control Room volume.
Note that this fader is only available if the Control Room is activated.
• If the “Close Window after Export” option is activated, the dialog will be closed
automatically.
• If you have activated any of the options in the “Import into Project” section, the
mixdown files will be imported back into the same or a new project.
When playing back the reimported file in the same Cubase project, mute the
original tracks so that you only hear the mixdown.
The Export Audio Mixdown dialog
Below you will find detailed descriptions of the different sections of the dialog and the
corresponding functions.
About the Channel Selection section
The Channel Selection section shows all output and audio-related channels available
in the project. These channels are organized in a hierarchical structure that allows you
to easily identify and select the channels you want to export. The different channel
types are listed below each other, with channels of the same type being grouped in a
node (e.
g. instrument tracks).
• You can activate/deactivate channels by clicking on the checkboxes in front of the
channel names.
• Cubase only: If Channel Batch Export is activated, you can also
activate/deactivate all channels of the same type by clicking on the checkbox in
front of the channel type entry.
!
If you set the export range in such a way that the effects applied to a preceding event
(e.
g. reverb) reach into the next, these will be heard in the mixdown (even though the
event itself is not included). If you do not want this, you need to mute the first event
before exporting.
