Hi everyone,
I use the render In place feature in Cubase because it lets me quickly print audio with effects without having to play the project in real time and record it on another track. It is super efficient compared to routing and recording when the samples are long.
but, there is one situation that slowing me down though. Let’s say I have a normal track that sends signal to a return fx track like a reverb. Sometimes I want to render only the wet effect on its own, not the dry signal. The problem is that Render In Place doesnt work directly on the fx channel afaik. Now I use a couple of tricks to but they feel clunky. One way is I solo the fx track and export it through the render settings, then import the file back into the project on a new track. Its really slow when doing it often compared to render in place. Another method I tried is using render In place on the source track while muting the dry signal. I set the return to pre fader and bring the source track fader down ( no volume) so only the send feeds the return. Then I render using complete signal path. This also works but it gets messy when the return depends on post fader levels, because if i switch to pre fader it changes the reverb amount and I have to rebalance it.
So basically I want to know if there is a proper way to quickly render just the wet signal from an FX return in Cubase ( same issue for group tracks btw), similar to how easy render In place works for normal tracks. Is there a proper way to achieve this?
