Cubase 5 and Wavelab 4

[studiogenocide]

I must be the biggest dummy in the world. I have not found a way to open a file currently being used in Cubase 5 to Wavelab 4, or any external wave editor for that matter. The manual also does not have any information on how to do this. The only option I have that I am aware of is to open the internal wave editor, which does not do what I need it to. Not saying it is a bad editor, it just is not as robust, and does not utilize direct x plugins like Wavelab. Anyone know what I need to do? Cubase 5 does non destrutive edits, and will not allow me to open the original file and change it, so the only thing I can do, and it is sooo time consuming is mixdown the file to another file, start wavelab, open the file, process, and replace... Any ideas? Thanks!

Are you looking to edit a single part in Cubase? If so, then you have to fiind that part in its respective Audio Folder. That folder should be located in whatever project folder you created when you first started that particular project.

Does that help?

You might be right on the first point

You probably trying to open a .CPR file. This is not audio and is the save format for Cubase only. The file contains only where to find everything for that song.

So you have to export your song or track first or do what chili states.

By the way Direct X plugins are of the past and editting is beter done in Cubase.

No- what I am doing is double clicking on the audio part and it opens the internal wave editor. What I am trying to do is launch the external wave editor from within Cubase 5. There are no other options to "launch external wave editor" like there was in Cubase VST. It does not give me that option in the menu either. Should I get the latest Wavelab? Would the newer version integrate itself into Cubase 5? It is not that I cannot edit the file, it the time consuming process of exporting the track to another track, opening the duplicate part in Wavelab, processing it, saving it, and then importing the part back into Cubase 5.

No way... Especially when you're used to using something for 10 years, and that something is Waves Gold- it was pricey then, and its pricey now! I can't live with out my rennaissance compressor!

Also, when i export a mixdown file, does it mixdown with the effects applied? if that is the case i would be able to use the cubase editor more often being that I have a vst wrapper plugin.... forgive the silly questions, i can only get in my studio twice a week, and the other five days are doing less important stuff I try to get mentally prepared before i hit the big red button!

Yes you can and of course you can us a wrapper.

This solves your problem probably.

If the plugin is old you might need to export it with Real Time Export.

Just had two days of Cubase time and it was fruitful- learned a lot more about the internal editor and I do like it, again it is not as roust as my wavelab, but it does do a good job. I love the wrapper- it works like a charm. I have to take a couple extra steps I am not used to, but it has become more and more second nature to me. Thanks for the input!
