Recording Audio from a VST Instrument

Here’s how I do this, if RIP or full Audio Mixdown isn’t needed.
This is for Cubase Pro.

  1. Create VST Instrument Track (or midi track if using Rack Instrument)
  2. From Mixer (lower 3rd), select track, right click and select “Add Group Track to Selected Track or Tracks”
  3. For this group, Choose “Stereo,” “Outside Folder”
    Group Track created with Group Track Fader right next to the Instrument Track. Name the Group VST Patch, or anything else.
  4. From Group Track Inspector, set Group Track Output to “No Bus”
  5. Create Stereo Audio Track
  6. Go to the Audio Track’s Inspector and assign its input to the VST Patch Group Track.
  7. Enable Monitor/Record Ready on the Audio Track.
  8. Record live audio from VSTi output.
