Default Export Mono tracks to Mono tracks with Cubase Channel Batch Export??


It seems it's not so easy, because the "mono export"
box is greyed out as soon as you check channel batch export.

Since apparently Protools works with mono tracks, which
is what I expect my collaborator to use, it would be nice
to just eliminate the panning information, but it doesn't
look easy to do.

I guess the next best thing would be to pan all the tracks
hard right (or left), and check the "split channels" box, and
just delete the silent left side files.

Forgive my ignorance (I'm not a Cubase user), but in what format does Cubase store the individual tracks of a project? .Wav files? If so, there's no need to export them; simple copying should suffice.

Peace,
Paul

Yes, it's in .WAV format, but if you want to retain the EQing,
compression, effects, fade-in/out edits you have done, you have to use
the export function.

Seems like different software uses a different name for this process.
The most generic (which I've only ever seen in the Mackie hard disk
recorder manuals) is a term taken from video editing: "rendering."
"Print to disk" and "flatten" are also used to describe "make a file
that will, on its own, play what you hear."

For what it's worth, Audacity also uses "export" but they store audio
for a project as a whole bunch of small WAV files. .

"PStamler":

The standard "pre-set" format in Cubase on Windows is .wav. Usually, I
change it to "Broadcast Wave (.wav)" to have the timecode information (start
time, in the first place) included in each recorded file.
Press Shift+S or click:
Project (menu)
Project settings

Broadcast Wave makes it easy to (re-)align the clips to their original "time
location" in the project - or a new project, of course.

Supported formats:
Wave
Broadcast Wave
AIFF
Wave64

If you happen to have recorded without the Broadcast information, you can
use OMF to export a "project file" that contains this information.
Attention: not all programs are good at handling OMF!!!
Logic´s OMF support used to be horrible, Sonar worked okay. Since it
originally came from PT, it should work there - never tested it myself.


Hope that helps,

Phil

Cubase has flatten function, for FX applied in audio editor mode, or whatever it is called, off line, something...

For FX inserted to the mixer's virtual rack slots, there used to be freeze function, snowflake icon, most likely it is still there, somewhere.

After functions are applied, resulting .wav files should be in the Audio pool.

However, I don't think you can convert from stereo to mono that way. Plugins that make something mono just mix both channels equally with each other to sound mono, not to be mono files.

I ended up just sending the guy the mono tracks as stereo files, so
the panning info was there. I'm sure he could find a way to make them
into mono if he wanted to, but maybe he'll just keep my panning as is.

We tried to use Wavestack, but they haven't made the interface for
Macs yet, so we ended up just using dropbox.

Wavestack is obviously still in development, as it's very slow and
the interface is very awkward. But if/when they work the bugs out, it
could end up being popular for collaborators...
