CUBASE Saving music to audio CD

%1$s a écrit Alrighty then! Now we're getting somewhere, du... ahem, Classie (I guess I should have noticed that one!):D

If you've got midi tracks in and they're of the general midi type, you can go completely virtual and use the included Universal Sound Module the comes with Cubase. I think it usually installs with Cubase but if it doesn't, just look for the Universal Sound Module folder in the install cd. You can drag copy it into your vstplugins directory on your harddrive. When you restart Cubase, the module should then appear in your VST Instruments popup. This helps you get started with virtual synths.

Once you call up the Universal Sound Module (USM), assign all midi tracks to it and you should be able to have midi sound without turning on a single external module (it also beats the MS GS synth hands down). The important difference between using USM over the MS synth is that your signal path is completely virtual and you can render "in-the-box" without having to wire your soundcard out to an input to capture sound. The Hypersonic demo that comes with Cubase is a fantastic sound source, but is only good for 30 starts.

I'm sorry if I was a bit harsh in my previous post, caffeine hasn't kicked in yet when I posted. Don't be afraid to ask more questions. It's how we all learn. Here's a bit of a tidbit - I usually render bass and drum midi tracks to separate audio tracks so I can add some of Cubase's included effects like compressors and delays separately to them. Once you learn about bussing, add an ambient reverb to that and buss all audio tracks there; makes for a more cohesive mix. Somewhat advanced. I know, but you'll get there.
