I use Cubase 15 for music production and audio post-production, often handling complex projects that contain numerous audio and MIDI tracks.
I would like to propose a new feature: the ability to place an entire Cubase project into the project window as a single event.
For instance, if I need to modify a music track within an audio post-production project, the current workflow requires the following steps:
Close the post-production project or switch to a different one.
Open the original music project.
Make the necessary changes and export the audio.
Re-open the post-production project and replace the old audio file.
This workflow is cumbersome, especially when dealing with a large number of music tracks.
My proposed solution is to allow users to drag and drop a Cubase project directly into the project window. It would then appear as a single event containing the rendered audio file.
Double-clicking this event would open the original project for editing. Ideally, after making changes and exporting the audio, the event within the post-production project would update automatically.
This would significantly improve efficiency when working on complex audio post-production projects, reducing the time spent switching between projects and manually replacing audio files.
I believe this feature would be highly beneficial for workflows involving film scoring, game audio production, and other multi-project scenarios.
It’s not just about music, either;
Audio post-production often involves far more tracks than simple music composition.
For example, when creating a complex 10-second combat scene, it is easier to focus by creating a separate project dedicated solely to editing the sound effects for that scene, rather than working within a massive project containing 70+ tracks.
It also allows you to use resource-intensive plugins specifically for that scene.
What do you think? Wouldn’t you like to have this feature too?
