hi all! first time poster here...

i have a question for the more learned users out there.

quickly, i am running Cubase studio 5, with a tascam us-1641... my question pertains to the outboard gear i am using with it.

on the tascam i have 4 balanced outs. i am using these to go back through my board, and comps/eqs/verbs/ect. everything works great this way.

my question is on the fact that i have to "print" my outboard work back into cubase on separate channels. while this was fine for awhile, i am getting a ton of work now a days, and the re-recording of the newly "mixed" tracks is getting to be a hassle. (18 tracks, on a 4 minute song, doing 4 at a time...) you can imagine the painstakingly long amounts of time i am wasting.

so finally the real question would be... is there a way to speed up the playback and recording? (turn a 3 minute song into a 30 second song, but keep all the sample rates the same)

i do know about using inserts and what not through the actually tascam hardware and cubase, but i am running a lot of outboard gear that does not hook up through midi controllers and all the new nifty connections, and this doesnt mean i want to use them any less.

thanks for you time in advance!

I don't get you question. Are you asking if there is a quicker way to bounce through hardware processors? The answer is no to that.

But if you don't need to use that processor on multiple tracks, there isn't any reason to print it, just write down your settings for recall on a mix dial them up each time and bounce your final track in real time (option in cubase's bounce section).

FWIW cubase 5 allows you to setup busses for fx unlike studio which only allowed bussing for I/O.
 
thanks...

i figured no... the question was looking for a faster way to bounce through hardware processors... i just thought i would try and save myself some time. i would give it up but i am just getting such awesome drum tones through my outboard gear.

thanks for answering so fast. i will just have to stick to the old 4 channels through outboard gear at a time, until i can expand and get some 8 ins/outs.
