Members WhinyLittleRunt Posted June 11, 2006 Members Share Posted June 11, 2006 I'm using Cubase SX... I've been learning how to make loops and stuff with MIDI (finally) and I got this cool track going right now... so I used the LM-7 that's included in SX as a drum machine and while it's great in MIDI, I want to bounce it to an audio track so I can add filter effects, etc... How do I go about this? I learn slow... thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WhinyLittleRunt Posted June 12, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 Also, while I'm in the frame of mind, how do you guys do that infamous drumroll thing like in a dance tune? That "da-da-da-da-ddddddddddddddddd-POW" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Awake77 Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hey Whiny, I use Sonar, so I dont know how much this will help, but all you should have to do is select the MIDI track and the audio track with the VST on it and select something like "Mixdown" or "bounce to tracks". For the trance snareroll, just start out with 16th notes and change to the next fastest note duration every measure, with some 32nd note triplets right at the end. Its pretty easy to do in the piano roll, or grid view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mildbill Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 while you're at it, you may want to check out the drum editor area in cubase too. it makes doing stuff like that easier once you've used it a while: http://www.steinbergusers.com/cubase/btm/backing_drum.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WhinyLittleRunt Posted June 12, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 Thanks dude Yeah, I started messing around with it a little and sorta figured that out with changing the note speed and all...and yes, I soloed the vsti track and did a mixdown to audio track and it ended up in the pool...the i just set the markers to the right spot and it went perfectly. god damn I love it, this is what I've been missing all these years!

Members MartinHines Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 I don't use Cubase, but I have heard these are very good videos: https://askvideo.com/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=38&osCsid=1b272725554964b9759ad5e76e9b31e8 You can buy the 3-DVD bundle here for US $99:http://www.audiomidi.com/Cubase-SX3-Tutorial-DVD-Bundle-Vol--1-3-P7317.aspx P.S. -- By looking in the Content list, it appears your question would be answered in Video 1 (if you don't want to buy all three up front) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select the audio track you want to bounce to.4. Click the record button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That "da-da-da-da-ddddddddddddddddd-POW" Just trigger a lot of short midi notes spaced very closely, or set a really high tempo change. Two different ways of doing much the same thing.

Find the channelstrip for LM7. (not the midi track, but the audio track.Apply insert effects to your like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chuck sabbath Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 Err, no. What you need to do, is press F3. but yes, you dont need to bounce to audio to add insert effects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set the locators to include the section you want to record.2. Solo the VSTi track you want to record.3. Go to file>export>audio mixdown and make sure you select to audio track and import to pool I've got the export to audio setup as a keyboard shortcut (I chose M for mixdown) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
