I’ve been on about this for ages, what is more annoying is that Steinberg have not replied to any of these posts. It’s still way slower than Cubase 11 even at the same sample rates. Pain in the bum when you are bouncing lots of files to audio.
I have the same problem - cubase 12, different computers. Any help other than “Reaper also has the same problem” or “It is complex” ?
Regards, Tom
"but removing one specific file from cubase directory actually can fix the mixdown. "
No, it did not help. Exporting 40 minutes session / 16 audio track + moderate amount of plugins = 40 minutes.
