How do I record just the effect onto a separate track?

Already done this and it still records the guitar with the effect

Tried it just now and it’s still recording the dry guitar signal? I’ve tried it with delay and reverb effects and it’s doing the same…

Perhaps it is time now you uploaded a sample from your dry and wet track

That is weird and my assumption is that you are not doing exactly what we are doing or that the plugin that you use is not set to 100% wet.

I just tested this in Cubase 12 and Cubase 14, so Cubase 13 should work as well.

Here I use a Send on the track “Original Signal” to send a copy of the signal to the track “FX Delay”.
There I just used a simple delay.

The lowest track is the result of using File → Export → Audio Mixdown and chosing to export the track FX Delay.
As you can see clearly see the rendered audio does not include the original audio, only the result of the effect track.

Please kindly post a screenshot of the plugin Guitar Rig 6 that you use, so that we can see your settings.

Am trying to take screen shots but for some reason windows will not let me? I have a two screen setup with cubase stretched over them both, maybe that’s the issue have no idea but it will not let me take a screen grab, I could photo it but it’s not going to be clear enough. Am getting really frustrated with it now, not even steinberg can help me they told me to check the forums…
Thanks for all the suggestions so far but nothing is working yet for me,

@Mightychub What is a cliff hanger…:wink: ?

Don’e it, I kept experimenting with the inputs and outputs and I just did no output on the effect channel and it’s recorded the effect only to the new audio track….man am I glad it’s now working, once again thank you all for your input on this, it’s something I’ve never had the need to do before but I guess there’s a first time for everything lol

You may want to mark @Johnny_Moneto or @Googly_Smythe’s post as “SOLVED” - it might help others and they both provided step-by-step examples :slight_smile:

I am struggling with this same thing on C14. I am trying to record the Shimmer effect to a separate track. Sometimes the procedure you mention works great. But about half the time, after I have added the Shimmer FX track, that FX track does not show up in the list of things I can set as the input to my new audio track.

I can’t find any pattern to it. Sometimes the FX track is there. Sometimes it isn’t.

When it is there, your procedure works fine.

( Johnny Moneto’s procedure works reliably for me and is pretty straightforward, so I guess I will just do that when I need to capture an effect track. But it does seem like there might be a bug lurking in here.)

Make sure your Audio Track does not have a Send set up to your FX Track. If it does, just remove it and you should be able to select the FX Track as its Input.
