Related to this video, I received several questions about how to convert convert stereo audio to mono. I made a video on this topic a few months ago, enjoy :-) th-cam.com/video/8SPH3_9aEMI/w-d-xo.html
I’ve been creating drum audio tracks from Groove Agent a different way for many years, which works really well, but takes an extra few steps. I’m going to try your method out. Thanks mate
I was stuck trying to figure out how to bounce out my custom kit in groove this has caused me great delight so thank you life saver as it’s not outlined anywhere else
Do you hide, delete, deselect, or disable the output channels to clean up the mixer once you render to audio? And what if you want for example the kick to render or bounce to mono? Thanks for the great videos!
Another great video Chris! I've been wondering how you separate tracks like this for a while and the dissolve function it is! It'd be great in MIDI instrument tracks to be able to do the same (i.e when you have a string part with 5-note chords and want to separate for individual strings, or maybe to transform a piano sketch into individual parts for getting started with some orchestration) though I guess this wouldn't be possible so easily, as there would be too many pitches in each part to use "separate pitches"... 🤔
Hello Chris, Really great video!! Thanks, May i ask is this only can use for Cubase pro and artist? I can not able to find that "render in place" section on Cubase elements 11?
I knew there was a way to do this. Great video. I really like the patterns in Grove Agent now I can separate them out into there separate channels. Plus I am discovering Cubase channel strip along the way.
Super clear thanks Chris, I always render to audio to reduce the load on my CPU, not sure if it really does but this will help my workflow. Thanks Nick
Thanks Chris! This is a video I've been looking for. I always do dissolve midi part, and then I have to go name everything blah blah blah. Thanks for the help.
I like your videos so much. Unfortunately we have no such perfect channel in german language, so I searched months ago and found you! Thanks for all and for improving my knowledge of cubase and mixing.
this is awesomely usefull! really help rendering the drum program to audio in efficient way.. the stupid me has been exporting channel one by one like an old school outdated bummer.. all i need is just convert some channel to mono on kick, snare and hats... but that's a breeze. thank you so much Chris! you are beyond AWESOME!!! very grate i watch your very informative video!
Hi Chris, great tutorial as normal. I have an issue with seeing midi drum channels in the mixer as well as HSSE channels and I don't know if I can delete them or not once I render to audio, awesome back track recording BTW great quality . Thanks.
What I do is saving my MIDI session on it's own and "Save as" the bounced session on a new name and delete the MIDI Instruments on this new session. So this way I always have a back up of the MIDI session
Another excellent video Chris. I was particularly interested in the "Export mixer and FX to Cubase" function, I wasn't aware of this possibility. Keep 'em coming. Thanks.
Bonjour Chris! It's great to have a drummer explain this material. I've always used Battery. I would hand-play the drum parts, but I play too poorly. (It's my 4th instrument, and I'm still learning...) Thank-you for the valuable tips!
Chris, your videos are very very helpful and informative. Would request you to do an elaborate video on metering in cubase and how to read the different meters available in cubase and calibrate them
Great video! I do have a question. I noticed in the video that the rendered audio tracks are in stereo. I would have thought they should be mono tracks. Is it better to have them in stereo? Thanks.
Chris you could also render the Midi to audio via the export option using the multi option, then selecting the export as mono option and then select the option to import the tracks back into the project.
Hi Chris I have very frustrating problem with Cubase. Sorry that it's not related to the subject of the video, but I really wanted to contact you and hear your advice or maybe even you can make a video about it. Here's the problem. I have stereo file but I want to split it into two mono files L and R. While importing I'm selecting 'Split Channels' and 2 mono files are created (L and R) so far so good. But when I want to process those mono files individually, any plugin I'm applying is not working. Looks like the audio is not going through the plugin (I made sure to use mono plugins on correct slots, all good). When I apply stereo plugin it works, when I put the track through my analogue mono EQ no audio is going through either (but can be heard). I found work around. After creating automatically those 2 mono channels via Split option, I create 2 new audio mono tracks and move them onto the new tracks and it's working fine with all plugins ect. It is strange, why is that. Although work around method is working it is still annoying that I cannot process automatically created L and R tracks have to move them on new tracks ect. Thank you. I would be great to see the video when you explain how to properly split stereo track onto 2 mono and explain where the problem was. Thank you
Usually, when you convert a stereo track in 2 mono tracks, those 2 new tracks will be MONO channels and your plugins should work no problem. Maybe you're dealing with a weird bug or something, very strange
@@mixdownonline no, processing those mono tracks doesn't work at all. Although the sound is being heard it looks like no audio is going through the plugins. I have to work around and create 2 new mono tracks and then move those automatically created mono files onto them. I read on forums that apparently it is some bug and more people experienced it. Can you please make a test on your Cubase? Take stereo file, while importing select 'Split Channels', then try to apply any (either Cubase or 3rd party) mono plugin to process those mono tracks separately. Is it working for you? Am I splitting stereo file into 2 mono the right way? What is the best way to strip down stereo file into 2 mono? Thank you Chris
Chris, thank you for this video. I have been looking everywhere and cannot find an answer so I thought I would post it here. Is there a way to record the individual instrument notes from Groove Agent 5 SE patterns (not the MIDI notes that trigger the pattersn) when using the styles options? Thank you for your time!
I’m thinking of EZDrummer. Can you just bounce to audio (after tweaking the MIDI to be more “human”) and then process it lightly? It’s already premixed/compressed out of the box. Thanks. Love the channel!
Great vid, that was a big help! Change virtual drums to WAV files was amazing learning! How can I do the opposite changing back the WAV files to virtual drums in case I want to change drum sounds or type? I’m guessing is simple but I’m new cubase user and trying to learn as I go? Thanks man
Thanks Chris for sharing always useful information on mixing in Cubase! This was really time saving and eye opening, instead of creating complicated input-output routing. 👍👍👍
Hi Chris I have a important question, when i rendering a drum track in render setting mode i can’t choose mono reder or stereo render!! For example i want to know how can do it?!!! I know a way in (f4) audio connection l can add bus mono and stereo ((output)) then in my mixing console I’m going to routing , select mono or stereo in it then do render in place my drum track! But i want to know how can do it in render setting mode(( mono and stereo))! Sincerely Farid_Roland
Render in Place will choose Stereo or Mono according to the output of the channel the track you render is routed to. You can't pick one or the other with Render in Place unfortunately
What is great about Groove Agent is that you don’t really need to render the drum channels into audio, except that the end of the project to archive it, because it already routes as many individual channels as you want to the mixer where are you can then put individual effects on them.
Yes, if the VST Output is MONO, it will export in mono. To convert a Stereo to Mono file, I made a video on this a few months ago ;-) th-cam.com/video/8SPH3_9aEMI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this! I'm going to be using fake drums for a while, so it's good to know better ways to handle them. Quick question: How do you feel about reamping virtual drums via a keyboard amp or PA?

Hi Chris, thank you for these very informative videos! Please keep sending them out! My question: I received a audio project with multiple audio tracks and I imported them into Cubase pro11. Now I want to sync all the tracks to a project tempo so I can add tracks like virtual drums, drum/bass loops etc. - that will be in sync with the audio. The audio tracks also need to be tightened up and corrected first I see how to sync audio with one track but what is the best workflow for multiple tracks?
Problem many times why we can't replicate what you've shown: HOW did you record the MIDI or audio tracks from Groove Agent 5 on those 3 tracks 'before you dealt with the Outs'?
Hi Chris, Thanks for video. I have a Question : On Rendering the Virtual Drums process, in Options I "Muted Source Events", can I UNMUTE source (Virtual Drums) and HOW, cause I still need to do some adjustments with Virtual Drums? Thanks in advance 🙂
I got recording from another producer but in my setup it's having a latency in vocal track My Insert are 1Auto tune pro ,2fabfilter proq 2, 3H EQ, 4CLA 3A SEND S are 1Vintage verb , 2 Valhalla delay.
Hi Chris, thanks a lot for the great videos! Just a quick question: Can we achieve the same result with Render in Place and exporting via Audio Mixdown (for those who do not have Cubase Pro and so don't have the Render in Place functionality)? Thank you!
Chris - thanks for the video. I was wondering: I like to use a rack instance my Grove Agent, and after creating my single drum MIDI track, separate them into separate MIDI tracks via a drum map and the MIDI->Separate by Pitch function. I do this to preserve CPU /memory. My question here - can I apply audio vst effects like reverb, chorus, etc. to my MIDI tracks? - WITHOUT first bouncing them to audio?
Hello sir one doubt plz.. I have nuendo 10 and cubase 10.5. thats minimum system requirement is i5 and above..my pc is i3 but nuendo working perfectly..cubase have some lagging and sometimes crashing issues but that not a problem..i need to know Does it affect its output quality in any way after export audio ? Similarly, latency problem (when i use some third party plugins)is caused by a lack of actual configuration??
If you get latency during recording, you can turn your Buffer size down, that will reduce latency however it will be harder on your computer CPU. While mixing, latency is not an issue, Cubase compensate for plugin latency even if your buffer size is high. It will not affect your audio quality
Hey Chris thank you this is very helpful. I do create discrete Outputs for each of my drums using superior drummer three but I typically just leave the midi alone and put in certain plugins and sends on the discreetly routed tracks. Is there any advantage to actually converting the tracks to audio versus simply leaving the MIDI in one lane and putting all your plug-ins and inserts on the discreetly separated tracks?
For sure, I love to commit when I'm done recording... less processing needed when mixing since you don't need to load any VSTi(s) to start with. Also better for archiving your session for future use or if you send your recording to a collaborator or mixing engineer.
@@mixdownonline Makes sense. Good point about archiving as well as sending to a mix engineer. In fact, I've recorded tracks using VSTs, have removed the VSTs (some of them are like 50 gigs of sampled sounds), and then when I open the project a year later, I've lost those parts of the session because I was relying on the VST to play the MIDI notes. Also a good point about being able to dump the VST in favor of recorded audio. I'll give this a whirl today on a mix I'm working on. I think the "fear" was "committing" as you mentioned! Your tutorials have helped me tremendously as a user who came from Studio One and moved to Cubase. Thanks again!
Thanks a million Chris! So many different ways to make the omelette 👍 Are there any other advantages of rendering MIDI to audio than simply reducing processor load and are any actions required to offload the groove agent instrument or once the MIDI data has gone, does that stop the processing please? Furthermore, after rendering, is the MIDI then lost if prior to render we haven’t exported it, as you showed us?
Related to this video, I received several questions about how to convert convert stereo audio to mono. I made a video on this topic a few months ago, enjoy :-) th-cam.com/video/8SPH3_9aEMI/w-d-xo.html
Exporting my midi drums for mixing was a HUGE pain.Big fan of the channel. Thank you so much Chris.
I am your big Fan, Chris. I always learn a lot from you
hello, but why do you bounce the mono signals in a stere file. cant you already bounce it in mono? cheers great explinations what you do

Cubase needs to add the option of mono tracks in its vst output options - especially for drums
Totally Agree with you! there's a few lacks with Cubase on the Mono/Stereo Channel departement
