Because of the bugs in iZotope automation not being rendered, I am trying to figure out the best way to record the output of a single track in real time. At this point I am using a marker track with loop markers and exporting the soloed track and importing that in to the pool.
But is there a way to route the output of a channel into the input of another chanel so it can be recorded?
I just saw on another forum post someone saying send Audio track->group->new track.
I thought I had tried that but didnāt see the group available as an input. Of course Iām not at my studio now so I donāt have my damn dongle to just test this outā¦
In VST connections make a new stereo output called DUMMY.
Disable the physical routing of this dummy output.
Create a new audio track in your project and choose DUMMY as input source.
Route your other track (the one you want recorded) to DUMMY instead of stereo out.
Enable record on the new empty trackā¦ as you playback, the output of your recorded track will now print itself onto the new track along with any inserts/ send routing.
You donāt need to do anything in VST Connectionsā¦just create a Group track, send the tracks that you want to resample into the group track, create an audio track and set the group track as the input to that track and record.
Both work, the phantom bus I personally find the more elegant solution.
If you create both a Dummy stereo and mono bus, you can also reuse them for Render In Place.
(When you want to RIP to mono) and you only have to create them once, since they are global.
Yeah I have those āphantom bussesā as you call them in my template projects. I donāt use them all that often but Iām always glad theyāre already there when I need them. I thought Iād come here and offer a novel solution. Lo and behold, everyone knows this trick.
You donāt need to create a dummy output or a phantom bus if you donāt want to. The alternative is to do the whole thing directly in the mixer as follows:
add a new audio track
in the routing for the new track de-activate āstereo outā output routing
select āOutputs - Stereo Outā in the input routing
Lots of ways to skin a cat
The reason we have to jump through some hoops, is that Cubase does not allow feedback loops to be created.
If you have that in mind, it is easier to understand why, come up with alternatives.
Kind of wish there was a preference setting to allow feedback loops, it should probably come with a huge warning message or two.
IS this only possible in pro? I donāt see any of the āoutputsā as inputs when i to to choose inputs on my audio tracks Iām running artist 10 Thanks.
Stingrayā¦ replying to such an old post, I know. I would love to do what youāre describing here but the Outputs - Stereo Out isnāt available as a track input. (even after I deactivate the track output)
Can you confirm youāve done this? Any idea what Iām doing wrong?
Thanks for this! I guess Iāve done something similarā¦ I just have a dummy Group track that I use in the same way.
I was hoping that there was a way to route the actual stereo output in a similar way. (so I could easily capture everything I hearā¦ master processing, returns, etc.)
Yes, Iāve done this. It could be you are using an older version of Cubase. What version of Cubase are you using? It should be as stated above but let me outline this in a slightly different way:
add a new audio track
in the output routing menu for the new track click on āstereo outā and select āno busā
in the input routing menu select āOutputs - Stereo Outā
Iām using Cubase 11. (I havenāt installed the most recent update tho)
The only way Iāve made this work is by creating a loopback bus. I can see this bus as an inputā¦ so I route everything thru this and capture it this way.
Iām going to try your exact steps when I get homeā¦ Iād love to just be able to do it just as you describe.
