I am having a slightly annoying problem that I hope there’s a good easy workaround to.
I have my template setup for recording from my hardware setup, and it works great.
However I have a number of hardware fx sends, and I have them all setup on the sends for each input. They are all bypassed in my template though, but I like having them on there so I can send things through my hw fx at a click of a button.
The problem comes when I want to export my track. Even if all my hw sends are bypassed Cubase still forces me to do a realtime export. Is there any way to circumvent this without removing the sends from my channels? Or do I have to remove my hw external effects when I hit export?
When Cubase detects active tracks that contain references to external instruments and/or devices it automatically assumes a real time export is needed. Bypassing won’t solve this. It might work when you ‘mute’ the tracks containing those sends?
Unfortunately that wont help, since I am using those tracks. They just have the sends bypassed (as per my template so it’s quick and easy to enable them if I want to use them).
All my audio tracks have sends set up just like this in my template:
I guess my solution is to delete the hw send channels when I want to export without using them.
It would’ve been nice to be able to force a real time export if the sends are bypassed and not actively used.
That worked fine, and yeah it’s no big deal.
I just think it’s too bad I can’t force cubase to export anyway and stop trying to be smarter than me sometimes
Cubase tries to be smart by detecting what’s on your track? And that worked fine. But unfortunately this may not work in some custom cases like yours? Maybe a good feature request? To be able to override ‘real time export’ and thus ignore all external inputs when requested?
