I’ve noticed several issues when I export a project in cubase to the VST Live import format and trying to import it in VST Live:
-
The imported project doesn’t have the correct tempo. A created song from the import file always has the standard tempo 120. When I change the Tempo in VST Live to the correct value midi and audio tracks doesn’t keep their synchronicity. Therefore I find a workaround so far: Create a Song with the correct tempo in VST Live first, then import the vlsprj file without creating a new project or song.
-
All imported tracks in VST-Live doesn’t have any buttons (mute, solo) or faders. Also all new created tracks inside a song with imported projects, doesn’t show up any control buttons!
-
For all midi/instrument tracks, the instrument and preset settings are not tranfered through the export/import process. I have to selct all VST-Plugins and presets in VST Live manually, allthough both programs share the same VST-Plugins and I use Halion Sonic SE or Groove Agent SE.
-
Once imported track files (midi data) will stay in the VST Live midi folder even if I delete the track inside VST Live. When I import a new midi file with the same name, VST Live will take the old existing file from it’s midi folder instead of the new file. I have to manually delete the midi files first.
-
This is more a feature request, resulting from the issues above: VST Live absolutely needs a midi editor (which can also edit program changes and midi cc data). It’s very elaborate to run through the whole import process if I just want to change or set a midi cc command.
