I have SX3 and I am having problem understanding how to export my tracks to another system. I have recorded the tracks in Broadcast audio, and used Cleanup to clear up the unused files. In the audio folder I have alot of fragmented files, and I want to export each track into seperate files.

HOw can I do this in a easy way.
 
WQhat system are you using on the other system.... Might look into seeing it if is OMF compatable. OMF may be your best bet. ( i say may as in test it first)

I need to extract the wave files so that I can burn them on a cd and transport them to another system. I don't know what system that will be, but I need to extract the audio files.

I need a file for each track. How can I do this with Cubase Sx3?
 
What I would do is Bounce each track down as a seperate wav file (Via File/Export). Solo each track, one at a time from the beginning of the song (Silence and all). That way when you transfer the tracks to a new System/Program You can simply drag each track to start of the song and cut out the silence as necassary. This may seem a waste of space (And for large songs you may need multiple CDR's to copy all the files), but it is far superior to OMF. I often use this method if I track on multiple systems (i.e. When Tracking Vox in a neighboring Pro Tools studio, I'll make stem mixes in cubase (i.e. Drums Mix, Guitars Mix, Bass Mix, and Keys Mix), Transfer them to CDR as 4 big long files, Simply drag the 4 tracks into Pro Tools, record the vox, and burn the new files back to disc as big files to bring back to cubase). Then cut out excess blank space...and Presto. OMF is often very buggy from program to program, and is more or less suited for only one transfer between programs, and often leaves you with corrupted files. It would be a lot a easier if manufactureres stepped up on the conversion process to make it more stable. But additionally the method I describe is more universal as many programs don't support OMF either.

Note:Unless you can only get a particular effect you like in the program you currently work on, bounce the tracks without FX. If you want a particular effect I would bounce down the track twice (With and without FX).
 
ONce again if you export to OMF and then say open it in logic it preserves the basic layout of your whole project individual tracks and all ( however your plugs won't go with it obviously)


Look into it. seriously if you are going to just about any other system OMF might save you alot of work

Once again if you export to OMF you might get corrupted files if transfers are in excess (apparently more common if the files are coming from Pro Tools too Cubase or Sonar). I haven't had any significant problems when I had OMF's transfered from Logic to Cubase.
