Hi THere
I’m all set, rendered all the tracks - sounds great, all effects applied. With relief I’m so happy to move to mastering stage…
Yet, the exported file is horrendous, loses all its life and weirdly slightly panned to the right.
Any ideas what could be happening here? Cubase 12 Pro with UA APollo 8
Thanks
Hi and welcome to the forum,
Do you use any plug-in on the Monitor (Control Room) channel?
Where do you play the exported file back? How does it sound, if you import it back to Cubase?
Hi Martin, thanks for this!
I’ve never used the control room before, so when I went in there it was switched on. When I switched it off, it panned 100 % to the left! There were no effects applied in there to the best of my exploration. I did adjust the red knob to 0.00
When I export the mix I simply listened back using windows media player.
Hi,
Can you confirm the shift to the left side on some meters?
The meters are not moving to the left. I adjusted audio connections - now when I turn of control room , there is no sound
Control room dosen’t affect the stereo output.
but if you don’t want to use that, go to Outputs and select Mon L/R on the stereo output, then it’s back to normal “bypassing” control room.
Regarding the difference after exporting sound like you really need to work on your mixing skills
Thanks Statherian
I dont doubt I need to work on my mixing skills. My frustration here is that I have the perfect mix, I just can get it to reflect in the export. It’s never happened before so I know its something I somehow changed along the line. I might just take the stems and start a new mix but that scares me!
well if it hasn’t happened before, I don’t know. but what you are describing can’t be your skill since it’s top notch and you do a perfect mix and know cubase in and out.
it must be something else.
Under certain conditions some waves plug ins shift the stereo field unless a routing change is made, as here Greg Wells Voice centric, Mix centric - #17 by rickpaul , by @rickpaul
The point of forums like this is to seek help, whether or not one ‘doesn’t know what they’re doing’
So if you came to this forum to belittle folks who are learning, then I politely suggest you don’t know what you’re doing.
Turns out the issue was in audio connections where external effects weren’t routed correctly.
So I was right…
the point is, you learn much more if you are forced to think yourself, and not given things outright. so if you can’t handle that im sorry, but now you know more.
How can anyone see that it was incorrect external routing when you didn’t provide the info?
And how am I being rude, implying that it might be something with your skill?
If that’s rude, I don’t know…
I have no need to feel superior or what ever you mean by that, why would I if I try to help.
But glad you found out the issue and upped your skill!
I am sorry I offended you, I know it’s easy these days.
I edited the post that offended you
