Is it really this easy?

You have to have all the tracks begin at one "zero" point, of
course, but
is it really this easy to do nowadays? You just have to do this for
each audio
track? And just make all your VST MIDI files into audio tracks first,
before
transfering, right?

And you need to make sure the master tempo is the same in each
DAW,
right?

Sorry, but you donīt mean that silly question serious, do you?
Itīs just as easy or complicated as it used to be last year, 5 years ago or
8 years ago. Itīs a simple principle: just solo each track one by one and
"export to audio" for each used track, until all tracks are done.

For each audio track, that you want to import into any other DAW software,
which canīt read Cubaseīs project files... For example, if you have 3
different tracks of the same lead vocal and want to use only the track with
the best performance, thereīs simply no need to export the other tracks
containing the same material with not as good performances.

could be helpful.

Well, it depends on what you want to do. If you just want mix in a different
program and donīt want to use tempo syncīed fx like delay or add other
synths, setting the tempo is quite irrelevant.

You obviously should read some manuals for your software and probably get a
book (yes, a paper one at best) for DAW basics. And try to understand:
simple logic basics also apply to DAW usage...

You don't seriously think a Newbie would ever have any
questions, would you?

Well, if you did some research, you would know that
transferring tracks
from one DAW to another can sometimes be a pain in the ass. Certainly
in the past, and still is in certain cases.
