This is useful if you have no external MIDI instrument at hand and you do not want to draw in notes with the Draw tool. The On-Screen Keyboard allows you to play and record MIDI notes by using your computer keyboard or mouse. You can also work with selection ranges, which are independent from the event/part and track boundaries.Ĭubase offers multiple methods and functions to control playback and transport. Parts and events are the basic building blocks in Cubase.Įditing in the Project window is not restricted to handling whole events and parts. In Cubase, events and parts are placed on tracks. Tracks are the building blocks of your project. Each track is assigned to a particular channel strip in the MixConsole. Tracks are listed from top to bottom in the track list and extend horizontally across the Project window. They allow you to import, add, record, and edit parts and events. You must create and set up a project to work with the program. In Cubase, projects are the central documents. The Project window provides an overview of the project, and allows you to navigate and perform large scale editing. Here, you can also set up group and FX channels, external effects, external instruments, and the Control Room. To play back and record in Cubase, you must set up input and output busses in the Audio Connections window. To use Cubase, you must set up your audio, and if required, your MIDI system. Here you will find detailed information about all the features and functions in the program.
This is the Operation Manual for Steinberg’s Cubase. When you’re finished you’ll have a folder with all the tracks from your song within it.The following list informs you about the most important improvements in Cubase and provides links to the corresponding descriptions. Now just click “Export” and sit back and relax. Wav and sample rate to 44.100 khz and bit depth to 16 bit (or whatever you recorded the song in). Another good idea is to include the tempo and song key somewhere in the folder name.Īfter you’ve created and selected the folder where you want to save your track outs to, you’ll change the file format to You can do this by going to Path and right clicking on an empty area to “Create a new folder”. So in our example, our song’s name is “Ghetto Metal”, which when we click export we’ll get file named “Ghetto Metal-Bass 03”, “Ghetto Metal Hi-Hat 04”, and so on and so forth for each track.Ī good idea is to save the track outs to their own folder, usually titled the song name. Keep in mind, Cubase will append whatever name you use here to the track name. Now you’ll name the tracks, usually the song name, which you’ll add in the field “Name”. This is basically like pressing “solo” on each track and exporting it. Note: If you’re using Cubase Artist or some older version of Cubase, you wont be able to select multiple tracks (which makes the process a total pain in the you know what because now you have to literally export each track individually instead of having Cubase batch process them). You’ll also see your midi tracks here, which you can also export as well. In our example, we’ve set the locators from bar 1 to about bar 65.Ģ) Go to File > Export and select Audio Mixdownģ) Under the section titled Audio Channels, add a check mark to each box beside each track you want to export separately. The reason for doing this is it tells Cubase the part of the song you want to export, in our case we want to export the whole song. 1) Set the locators at the top of the timeline to select the song from beginning to end. Also to make our lives easier, we’ll refer to this process of exporting the individual tracks separately simply as “track outs”. If you’ve recorded your song in Cubase and need to export the individual tracks to send for song mixing here’s what you do.
