8. Select mono or stereo with the “Channels” radio buttons.
You have three choices here:
• You can make a mono file, in which case the left and right channels are
mixed (as when using the mono switch in the Master window).
• You can select the Stereo Split option, in which case two mono files (one for
each stereo side) will be created. If you have activated the “Import to Audio
Track” options in step 6 above, the two files are grouped and placed on an
“Any” channel audio Track, using channel 1 and 2.
• Finally, you can select Stereo Interleaved, in which case a true stereo file is
created.
9. Select a file type.
You can choose between AIFF and WAVE. Which type to choose depends on
which other programs you plan to use the file in. Please note that WAVE files
(audio files with the extension “.WAV”, used for PC) cannot be imported into
Cubase VST for Macintosh.
10.Select Resolution.
The choices are 8, 16 and 24 bit. 8 bit audio files are of limited fidelity, but
can be useful for multimedia applications, or situations when you want to
keep the file size down. 24 bit files can be imported into some high-end au-
dio editors, such as Steinberg WaveLab. If you plan to use the file in VST, you
have to select the 16 bit option.
11.Select a sample rate.
You can choose between 22.05, 44.1 and 48 kHz.
● It is possible to import and/or audition the file no matter which sample rate is
selected. Please note however, that if the selected sample rate is another than
the one used by Cubase VST, the pitch and length of the audio will be incor-
rect when you audition it or play it back.
For example, if you have selected 48kHz and VST plays back at 44.1 kHz, the
re-imported audio file will play back too slow, and with a lower pitch.
12.Select a folder and a name for the audio file to be created.
If you have selected the “Stereo Split” option in step 8 above, the two files
will have the same name, but with the letter “L” appended for the left channel
file and “R” for the right channel file.
13.Press the Create File button.
The audio file is created. If you have activated the “Audition” option, the re-
sulting audio will be cued (played back rapidly) during the process.
If you have activated the “Import to” options, the file will be imported into the
Pool and, if you like, onto an audio Track. You can play it back to check the
results immediately. Just remember to mute the original Tracks, and turn off
any eq and/or effects for the audio channel(s) used by the imported Track, so
that you really hear the true result (see below).
