How to bounce a VSTi from within Cubase?

Hello ,
Iam using my mpc3000 LE to sequence Vsti from Steinberg Cubase 4.

I want to extract audio channels like that guy in the video.

-Instead of Cubase he uses Reapper and mpc 2000-

Thank you and thanx Clint

There's a way you can make & arm a seperate stereo track in Cubase so you can record whatever audio activity or sounds you want.

Yeah like Dab said, just add an audio track and solo that with the midi track and press record... couldn't be simpler. For internal midi vst recordings just use 'export audio mixdown'.

I want to record in audio all my Channels simultaneously like
the video using Cubase.
Not just solo the Vsti Channel each time for every midi channel.

Im not 100% sure what you're asking so I'll go through the process of doing 'what he did' using an MPC3000 and Cubase 4.

1. Create a 16 track sequence template on the MPC, each track is set to send MIDI out to its corresponding MIDI channel.

2. Create a 16 track sequence template in Cubase 4. Allocate drums and other instruments to each track using virtual instruments. Set these track so that they recieve MIDI from your MPC as per the MPC template you made earlier.

3. Sequence your tracks into the MPC sequencer using the pads and/or a keyboard attached to the MPC's MIDI In port.

4. With Cubase as MASTER synchronice the MPC using Midi Clock or Midi timecode.

5. Bounce up to 16 tracks of MIDI (virtual instruments) at once, rendering each to Audio in Cubase 4.

6. Extract individual tracks/ stems as required for system transfer, backup etc, or continue to work within Cubase.




Im not familiar with the Cubase 4 interface, but I would expect information on bouncing and extracting audio files to be readily available in the MANUAL. Surely?

A brief video show how to extract audio files from a Cubase 4 session.

I understand that Cubase may need some tweaking to receive MIDI on 16 midi channels simultaneously, it is not the default mode of operation which is why it is good practice to set up and use a TEMPLATE for future use.

There is a recent thread about setting up Cubase/ Nuendo to work in this way, the key to it is the INPUT TRANSFORMER.

Ηοw I can do this?How I can render my midi channels ?

I take it that Clint's referring to "buss". Is it VSTi channels you want to buss out to the main stereo output channel or have them all bussed to individual channels. In my case I could probably pull that off since I work with two 16 x 16 (8 audio I/O & 8 digital I/O per s/c) echo layla's. Don't know what s/c you're using. Plus keep in mind that unless your computer is up for the task, you'll be taxing the sh!t out of it (by not much though, but still) with 16 simultanious VSTi instruments at once.

Look man.

Almost everyone uses virtual instruments in their midi productions.
How to render midi tracks to audio is covered in the Cubase manual, of that I am 100% sure.
Go and do some reading, you'll find what you're looking for in the 'Midi' or 'Using Virtual Instruments' section of the manual.

@dabmeister

I meant bounce as in 'render' midi tracks to audio.

OK cool, pretty much the same term. I use to say bounce when I used an 8 track tape recorder, but went to "buss" when I went all digital.

If you go through this thread..

You will find the exact same Reaper template those guy's used in the video, taken from the Open Labs Miko.

Why not try Reaper if you want things to work in the same way?

Because Reapper has awfull sound engines.
I was using reapper and the mpc template and one day I made the same track on cubase.
The difference in the sound quality was huge.

If you want to look like him and sound like him , use Reaper. Like him.

If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for you right?

Isn't that how it goes nowadays??

Make your own Cubase template and learn how to use the program, no one can do it for you.


I'm done, good luck!

ok ok
