Hi.
I recently purchased Cubase 12 Pro.
I’ve been succesfully trying to control modulation CC of four midi tracks just by using a control midi track, in which I write the modulation levels, and activating Midi Sends pointing to the four midi tracks I want to control. As a said, that works well.
The problem is that I’m not able to render those tracks individually, including the modulation coming from the control midi track, in a single render action.
Obviously, If I export the Stereo Out and select just the control track and one of the midi tracks I would get it done, but I wouldn’t take advantage of the multitrack export feature, and would have to repeat the proccess for every track.
I didn’t find the way by rendering in place either.
Does anyone know how to get it done? I would really appreciate yous answers.
Thanks in advance.
Thank you for your answer.
Do you mean on each midi track?.Sure, but.that’s a lot of CC editing and it’s just the problem I’m trying to figure out. I normally deal with orchestral projects, which always involve an important amount of tracks. That’s why I searched for a way to control CC of several tracks from a single control track. And it worked. The problem, as explained, comes up when I export or render in place the tracks.
If there’s no way to figure it out, maybe there might be another approach to control CC of several tracks at once. Any idea?
Sure, that’s what I actually do. But still a lot of work and not a clean solution im my opinion. Think about the amount of tracks in an orchestral project. I would be really surprised if Steinberg didn’t think about this issue. There must be a way to figure it out.
A friend of mine told me I should use instrument tracks instead of midi tracks. This way I could control all CC of them with a midi track, as I currently do, and I wouldn’t need to render the tracks to audio since the instrument track provides an audio channel associated to the midi track, and I could apply inserts and send to that channel, or route it to a group channel. The problem I find for this approach is that I would have to load at least 20 or 25 intrument tracks to cover all the orchestra. Wouldn’t that be a waste of CPU and memory? I don’t think my computer could even load all of them without crashing.
Ah right. I always use instrument tracks so I get an audio slider. Hopefully someone from steinberg will chip in as I don’t know the answer. I can see why you would want to use one track for controller information but how midi has been used in the past and by everyone I know is for all the midi including cc info is on the same track.
I use Kontakt libraries most of the times.
I don’t really know what a rack instrument is. I load Kontakt by pressing F11 key and picking it up from the list.
I’ve had a look at that link and I happen to be using rack instruments.
Should I use instrument tracks instead? Wouldn’t my computer be overloaded then?
