When I open a project that has an external instrument, which is in-fact turned off, Cubase will give me the “Realtime mixdown” required notification when I export a mix. If I go to the VST instruments and turn the offending instrument “On then back Off” the problem is solved. It seems like the “on/off” state of the external instrument is not being validated at startup. Has anyone seen this problem. Not a show stopper just annoyingly inefficient.
Yep, I’ve suffered from this issue too! I tried to explain it to Steinberg in another thread, but didn’t get very far. I can only hope that this will be addressed at some point, but I’m not even sure that it’s a known issue.
The off-on workaround isn’t available if you’ve frozen the track in question, as I normally like to do, so I suppose the only option is to go the old school route and record the synth into another audio track. Very frustrating.
any updates on this? I have the same issue on Cubase 10.5, and decided to start a new thread, but then I found this one. Shame that so many years passed and this bug has never been addressed.
Any updates on this? The problem persists on Cubase 12 as well… maybe I should open a new thread since Steinberg is not even considering to fix this issue.
