Hi all
My most desired feature requests for export are :
remember last export range setting for each project
do not automatically set the export range to everything that is in the project, or at least offer the option to enable/disable this behaviour (reason is I often leave extra parts in projects as notes that are not meant to be exported)
I usually use the marker track to highlight all parts that I want exported, I would like an option to make Cubase export the marker track area by default so I donāt have to open the dialog, then go back to highlight all markers then press P then back to the menu to export. Behaviour customisation.
Thanks
I am not aware that such a functionality exists in Cubase. Therefore it might be hard to remove it.
Export range is either the locators, cycle markers, or events on the Arranger Track. I have never seen āeverything in the projectā.
You can select the cycle marker in the Export Audio Mixdown dialog with C14.0.20. There is no need to go back to the project. Therefore I donāt understand your request. What am I missing?
It is not an option and that is my issue. The behaviour problem is this:
I may have what I want to export on bars 10 to 100, have extra stuff say bars 120 to 150
Before I export my locators could be anywhere.
When I open the export dialog it will automatically select the export range to 10 to 150, ie everything.
In the export menu there needs to be options added.
The locators section does not work as intended, meaning if I set my selectors before opening export, they will be changed to everything.
The marker track section does not allow to export one file for the entire marker track.
It exports a separate file for each sectionā¦ !
What I would like to see more from Steinberg is more customisable behaviours as we all have different workflows. Here every time I export an audio file I face this same annoyance. Iād like to be able to choose what Cubase does by default, here prepare export around marker track area.
Then your Cubase behaves different from other Cubases.
It might be one of the infamous āpreference fileā issues.
Or you might have programmed a macro that does this and have forgotten about it?
With factory settings Cubase does not change the locators upon opening the Export dialog.
I tried setting Cubase to factory defaults and it still does that ,..
Weirdly enough when I set to factory defaults, apply then ok, then when I reopen the preferences menu it does not show written factory defauls in the box any more.
Donāt know if this is normal.
I definitely did not program a macro for this.
Could you please tell me more about this?
Thanks Johnny !
Go to āYour Username/Library/Preferencesā and locate the folder which is named the same as your Cubase/Nuendo version.
Please note: Since Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), the userās Library folder is hidden! Here is how to access it: In the menu bar of Mac OS X click on āGoā. While the menu is folded out holding down the [ alt ] key (options) will show the āLibraryā entry.
Hmmā¦ Not usual - I donāt recognise this behaviour at allā¦
For clarification:- so youāre saying if you deliberately set the Locators to bars 10 to 100 before opening the export window, as soon as you open it the Locator range in there now shows as being 10 to 150.? Then thereās definitely something odd going on. Only thing I can suggest is starting Cubase in āSafe Modeā and trying again (use CTRL+SHIFT+ALT after clicking the Cubase icon. This will give you an option dialog popup of choices how you want Cubase to startup, for troubleshooting).
My bad I did use a macro with shortcut to export ! I was dumb .. Sorry !!@Johnny_Moneto
And thanks everyone who chimed in, I learnt a few things @Puma0382@diegoalejo15
Two feature requests still :
option to let Cubase remember last export section per project ?
option in the Markers section of the export menu to export just one file encompassing the entire marker region (would remove the need to select every marker each time)
Or if there is a key command to select all markers I can update my macro, but couldnāt find that command, it could be added to the list too
Thanks !
You know, I was really reluctant to even mention this as a possible cause but then I thought ājust in caseā.
Regarding your last suggestion: I always create one long cycle marker that spans the entire piece that I want to export. Usually on its own marker track. And if I know that I am not going to extend the length of the piece any further I will even hide this marker track in the project. For export it is still available, of course.
I was dumb .. Sorry !!
