In XTC mode, when I try to mixdown some VST synths (Kontakt) tracks as audio tracks (to free CPU etc.), I get the following message:

"An error occured during the export!"


Is there a way to find some kind of log file to see what exactly is the "error"?

Or maybe you know what mistake I could be making?


Note that it occurs even if I try to remove all XTC devices + effects from my project.

Thanks in advance to you all


ps: the message appears RIGHT after clicking on the OK button of the Mixdown dialog... It doesn't even begin exporting

After using the search (isn't it useful!) I found a post by 'Wayne' where he said this:


"Export is not happening in XTC - You need to "merge" the tracks. Go to vst inputs, activate Merge, mute unwanted tracks, set record track to merge, mute it to avoid feedback, & go for it. I might have left something out ..... oh, here we go:-

The output selection list at the bottom of tthe Cubase Master Channel strip
contains the option L Merge for this
purpose. Select this option for now.

The merge options represent virtual outputs
that can be routed back to inputs. The VST Input dialog contains corresponding inputs labeled L Merge and R Merge. Select these inputs, then choose a free stereo track to record to. Switch this track to a free channel in the Cubase mixer and turn Merge Input on (click on the In button in the channel strip while holding the Ctrl key). This is always the last option in the list. You must also enable the Mute option for this channel so that the output does not reappear at the master inputs resulting in feedback.
Begin recording as usual. When recording is complete, switch the master channel output back to the I/O extension output you use for monitoring. (from SFP manual) "



I will go try this... Please post here if you have more ideas. Thanks!


I know, I know... I always reply to myself LOL

Fixed the problem! Mixdown works great now
Not sure what I tweaked to make this happen, but I sure enjoy it
