I have a special situation here. I produce music for fairy tales by H. C. Andersen in different languages. Therefore I need to create different mixes of the balance between music and the narrator. It would be very convenient only to have 1 song/arrangement and then be able to create different mixes, but that isn’t possible in Cubase is it? I mean I can’t have 3 or 4 different automation-sets if you understand what I mean?
I know of Digital Performer has this function, I have never used it though!
Other than saving the arrangement which is a slow method, how about copying both voice and music tracks, for example 3 times if you want 3 different mixes, then creating different automatons for each mix, and then solo/mute to hear the appropriate mix?
I believe you could do that with Track Versions. Each track version will have its own audio clip and automation. No need to create several projects for that.
I haven’t used Cubase in a while, but I believe this is accurate. Hope it helps .
EDIT: Check this video out for more info on Track Versions:
Also, via Direct Routing - you can set-up whatever number of Main Outputs, and busses/tracks into those, and alternate between them with one click. Just don’t enable “summing mode”.
