Peavey ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey all,

Well, since getting pro tools, I've been moving my tunes - track by weary track - out of Cubase. They still sound fine in Cubase (VST/32 and SX), but I need 'em in PT so I can ship them to a friends studio to be mixed on a full scale system.

Anyone know of a way to export all the tracks at once? What I'm doing now is "bouncing" one track at a time. I then take all those tracks into a PT session and strip the silence out of them. Its the only way to get things to line up right in PT- but it takes forever to individually export 24+ tracks one at a time.

This is what interns are for... I wish I had one.

Any ideas, or do I just need to keep pluggin' away?

Take care,
Chris
 
Say you have 5 midi tracks and 5 audio tracks in a song you have to record you midi onto an audio track(which you probably know)before exporting the whole song into one stereo file,then everything you have is audio to export.I don't understand how you are exporting one track at a time,if you have say five audio track all with different parts on they are all exported together as one when you export into one file.
 
What he is doing is muting all tracks but the one he wants to export. If you do that, then you do the export, the resulting file has only the audio from the unmuted track, not all tracks. So if you have 24 tracks, you have to go through that mute-and-export process 24 times.

I don’t know of any way to export all tracks separately at one time. I think what you need is OMF. Around the time Cubase SX was released, Steinberg promised they would add OMF export capability to SX. But so far they haven’t.
 
Jim, yup. Its pretty brainless work, but its the kind of thing you can do while talking on the phone.

The good thing is that all the tracks line up perfectly so you don't have to fiddle around with syncing everything from the original takes. Then you cut the silent parts out later to reduce the amount of data it takes. I did the same thing when I upgraded from n-track to cubase.

OMF export, by the way, is only part of the battle. I found out that getting OMF into ProTool$ requires a $500 translator program. How nice. Still, if SX would support OMF import and export, it would make stuff like post production work much easier.

I think I'll stick with my track-at-a-time export for now. :rolleyes:

Take care,
Chris
