If I have monitoring enabled for an audio track, the recorded track is muted and the live signal can be heard.
All good.
But when Cubase exports it still keeps any audio monitoring “on”, meaning it mutes the recorded track.
And it’s very easy to forget to turn monitoring off before exporting.
Is there any workaround to avoid this?
(btw I prefer default manual audio monitoring setting)
FEATURE REQUEST:
It would be most logical if cubase didn’t mute the track when exporting.
I can’t think of a reason for it.
I mean it isn’t monitoring anything during export anyway so why mute the track?
Having Cubase mute the track only makes sense when monitoring of the input signal is actually happening.
And exporting is not a “live situation” where monitoring is relevant.
If you have the Auto Monitoring set to While Record-Enabled instead of Tape Machine or Manual. You can then select all tracks and hit the M key and turn them all on or off quickly.
BUT, if you are like me and use TAPE MACHINE or MANUAL that is not an option . You could make a quick MACRO though.
Make a key command for MONITOR, then simply select the first and last track in the Inspector using the click the first track and holding shift hit the last. Then simply hit your key command for the MONITOR button.
Tape machine style should do what you want…
if you playback a track it plays what you recorded, and it is on input monitoring while you record and in stop mode
@st10ss
Yeah initially I said I could use tapemachine style… but after trying it more, it’s not right for my workflow.
I often test the sound of an instrument (while music stopped or playing) before actually recording, so I prefer the default manual monitoring setting
Also: “Tapemachine Style: Activates input monitoring in stop mode and during recording, but not during playback.”
Export muted my track when I tried having it in tapemachine mode.
I am going to revive this topic because I’ve run into it, too, wondering why instruments were missing in my export (when using tape machine monitoring)
Upon export, Cubase mutes a) tracks that have in put monitoring activated, and b) it especially mutes tracks that are selected when using “tape machine monitoring” .
The first one you could maybe argue that it of course mutes the track on realtime playback, but export is something different to that, as you cannot monitor there. It is at least bad UX.
The second is definitely an oversight and can be considered a bug. As @MortenT wrote, the track is not muted on playback, but only on export. I will file a bug report with support, although realistically I have no hopes it will get fixed…
Cubase doesn’t mute the track with monitoring enable on playback.
The input of this track is just set to it’s input source. The monitoring switch sets the source of the material that gets played back. Track content or input signal.
You need to listen to your tracks? Make sure input monitoring is set to off.
I think it should do this if “record enable when selected” is activated.
Could it be activated on your system? Then I would expect exactly that behaviour.
