Introduction

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to export multiple tracks simultaneously in Cubase. This process is vital for creating individual audio stems from your projects efficiently, allowing for easier collaboration with other engineers or musicians. Whether you're preparing your tracks for sale or simply need separated audio files, this step-by-step guide will simplify the batch export process.

Step 1: Prepare Your Tracks

  • Ensure all tracks you wish to export are unmuted.
  • Set your cycle range to cover the entire section you want to export.
    • All tracks should start and end at the same points to maintain synchronization when shared with others.

Step 2: Access the Export Audio Mixdown Feature

  • Navigate to the top menu and click on File, then select Export and choose Audio Mixdown.

Step 3: Choose the Export Settings

  • In the export window, observe the options at the top left:

    • Single (default) and Multiple are available.
    • Switch to Multiple to export all selected tracks at once.
  • Under the Output Channel section:

    • If using instrument tracks only, you’ll see them listed.
    • Ensure that the stereo mix (all tracks combined) is unchecked if you only want individual tracks.

Step 4: Select Your Tracks

  • Check all the individual tracks you want to export.
  • If desired, check the stereo out option to include the full mix in your export.

Step 5: Name Your Project and Select Export Location

  • Enter a name for your export (e.g., the name of your beat).
  • Choose the destination folder where you want the exported files to be saved.

Step 6: Adjust Additional Settings

  • Review the other settings available:
    • Decide whether to enable Real-Time Export.
      • This option exports the audio in real time, minimizing potential errors, especially for complex tracks.
      • Alternatively, uncheck this option for faster processing, but be cautious of possible glitches.

Step 7: Execute the Export

  • Click on the export button and wait for the process to complete.
  • The duration will depend on the length of your project and whether you chose real-time export.

Step 8: Verify Your Export

  • Once the export is complete, navigate to the folder you selected.
  • You should find each track exported as an individual WAV file, along with the stereo mix if selected.

Conclusion

Exporting multiple tracks separately in Cubase is a straightforward process that saves time and enhances workflow. By following these steps, you can efficiently create audio stems for collaboration or sales.
