Here’s how I do this, if RIP or full Audio Mixdown isn’t needed.
This is for Cubase Pro.
- Create VST Instrument Track (or midi track if using Rack Instrument)
- From Mixer (lower 3rd), select track, right click and select “Add Group Track to Selected Track or Tracks”
- 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. - From Group Track Inspector, set Group Track Output to “No Bus”
- Create Stereo Audio Track
- Go to the Audio Track’s Inspector and assign its input to the VST Patch Group Track.
- Enable Monitor/Record Ready on the Audio Track.
- Record live audio from VSTi output.
