Bouncing Tracks in Cubase LE

[Seafroggys]

I am making a "synth-only" track for an album I'm working on, and am using VST synths. LE is limited to only two VST instruments per session, so I figured I would record two Midi tracks and bounce them into two audio tracks, delete the midi tracks and re-record more stuff.

I looked in the help file but can't figure this out. My only option is to export it and import it back in, but that seems to be rather silly. Isn't there a way to real time record or something what is being played?

I have a Presonus Firestudio btw.

I think you route the sound thru a bus and then route the bus as an in? no? never tried anything like this. seems doable.

I tried doing the bus method, couldn't get it to work.

Doesn't matter though, this is already old news. I figured after no one responded after 12 hours, it would be quicker if I just exported each track and put them back in

For the 2 track limitation that is it. There is no need to bounce audio tracks in Cubase since there already is an audio track of the vst created as soon as you add the track, it just does not draw a waveform since it is a realtime track being fed from the VSTs output. In your case however, being limited to two tracks is the problem so exporting is the way to go.

^^^Isn't that exactly what I had said?
