I’m using Cubase 12 Pro and have a project with 12 tracks of individual songs each. One song on each track. I have many effects on the Master Bus. When I export an individual mono track, the effects don’t print.
In the same project, I have two separate tracks for one song only, and when I export ‘interleaved’, the effects print just fine.
I’ve made sure that I have the correct boxes ticked in the Export panel.
I thought it might be the space on my hard drive, so I deleted many, many unneeded files, and I’m still having the same problem.
This is not QUITE the full truth (I hope what I write applies to C12 as well):
I do it the following way, in the Export Dialogue:
Select the track you want to export
Select the “Multiple” option (this is curcial, even though you only export ONE single track)
Select the Effects option “+ Master/Group/Sends”(this option is only available for selection when you chose the “Multiple” option, even though only having a single track selected)
Of course the Locators have to be set appropriately.
I use it a lot - recently - using Cubase 15 - that is why I am not certain whether it was the same in Cubase 12.
To your thought: It will only export the single track but including all effects that are inserted in the complete signal-path from the channel through any groups up to the output chanel.
What is important: You really only select the single track to export and above that selection list there is this “multiple” button. THIS has to be engaged (and NOT a checkmark on the output bus - since THIS would lead to two tracks being exported).
I discovered this after some frustration, because the option “+Master/Group/Sends” was “greyed out” when the button “single” instead of “Multiple” was selected.
