Cubase shortcut export audio (no mouse focus)

Question, I use Cubase 13.0.30 Pro with Stream deck. I use a short cut to start the “export audio mix down” and then a shortcut to start “queue export”.

However, I need to focus with the mouse the “export audio mix down” window before the shortcut to start the “queue export” works.

Is there a way to have a focus on the export audio mix down window ?

Hi,

To get the Export Audio Mixdown window focus, call the Export Audio Mixdown, please. If the window is in background, it will come up and get the focus.

Hi Martin, I tried with keyboard shortcut, Option + F12 (Export Audio Mixdown)
I get the window and it has a focus to change the name of the file.
But it’s not the focus to start “Export Audio” with a shortcut.
Only if I click it in the window with the mouse it get a focus and I then can start the shortcut. “Perform Audio Export”, which I assigned to Command + Control + Option + A
Any idea to avoid this name input focus so I can launch the export with a short cut ?

Hi,

Sorry, now I get it.

Does the Perform Audio Export command from the Audio Export section does the trick?

Hi Martin,

I do the shortcuts Export Audio Mixdown and then Perform Audio Export. But Perform Audio Export only works when I get focus first with the mouse.

Does it works with you ?

Hi,

Do it this way , please (it works for me):

  • Export Audio Mixdown.
  • Type the name.
  • Press Enter to confirm the name and to get the focus out of the Name field.
  • Perform Audio Export.

Hi Martin,

Thank you for the feedback… I tried, if you enter the name + enter, it will get the focus out of the Name field and can start the Perform Audio Export with the short cut.

It would be handy if it just worked without the name field. But I guess this is not possible.

Hi,

You don’t have to name the file. You can also simplify it this way:

  • Export Audio Mixdown.
  • Press Esc to get the focus out of the Name field.
  • Perform Audio Export.

Hi Martin,

Thank you, this was useful information. I created a multi-action with the stream deck software with all the key-presses. Problem solved
