Hi, ive done a few tracks using cubse 5 / g3 blue tower os 9.2 and i now want to mix them down ,then burn on to cd . I am using both midi and audio file on my songs. I just want to get them all on to one aiff file or wav, there must be a way of doing this using cubase. At the moment im recording straight into a mini disc, then recording back into the computer and finally burning a cd using toast - which im sure is too long winded as well as losing quality..


Any tips thanks..

go to file - export - audio-mixdown. as long you don't use external gear, the entire song will be saved as an aiff or whatever file... be aware, that it only exports between the left and right locator!!!

There are several ways of doing this, and will depend on your set-up, and how you are receiving your midi source. If you are using a software like Reason, you have a couple of choices. You can either bounce the midi tracks down (mixdown) to audio files (wave, aiff, etc), and drag them back into your recording software, creating audio tracks Another way is to Rewire the software to your audio-based software. With both softwares active and connected virtually together (Rewire), you can bounce the entire song down to whatever format you choose. If you are indeed Rewired, you will captrue both midi and audio files on the mixdown. Of course, you will then have to drag the mixdown into whatever CD burning program use.

On the other hand, if you are midiing straight from a midi keyboard or drum sequencer (it really does not matter the source), I have found it easier to play the midi track, while simultaneously recording the audio output track directed from the midi sequencer source. It would be as though you are playing an audio device straight-in as you normally would when recording an audio track, but in this case, your midi track would be the cue that is driving the audio signal.

There are probably numerous other ways, but these choices have never let me down when converting midi to audio. Good luck!
