    Question About Mixing Down in Cubase

    in Music Composition & Production

    Posted

    Hey Cubase users (I'm using Cubase 7),

    I have a voiceover job I need ot finish and I'm trying to figure out how to do one of two things.

    1.) Put some sort of marker in a single audio track so that when I mix it down, it breaks it into 25 separate files.

    2.) If I were to, instead, record onto 25 separate tracks rather than use the marker method, export each track into a separate file.

    I've had to do this a couple of times the mute/unmute/re-export way and it's kind of annoying. I feel like there's a better way to do it but I'm still really new on the software side of things.

    Thanks!

    OCR/VGM Workout Music?

    Rite.

    Actually I just put it on OCRemix a lot of the time. If the place has internet I can use my phone and stream it, or I'll use what I have on my ipod. Other than that I like a lot of rock: Symphony X, Muse, Dream Theater.

    I actually really dig the Persona 3 soundtrack for working out, too.

    Sometimes I will listen to non-pump up music, but I won't go so far as Chopin. Maybe some acoustic guitar stuff like Andy Mckee or whatever.

    I don't read romance novels, so I don't really know the stereotypes presented by them. But yeah, they're written by women for women, so if you want to get a glimpse of the shoe on the other foot, there you go.

    Curious, though, that the most viral and famous romance novel of late revolves around the premise about a woman being physically/sexually dominated by a man (50 Shades of Grey, written by a female).

    Big burly men in video games are MEANT to appeal to males.

    Yes, yes, I rarely intend for tongue in cheek arguments to be taken as philosophical truth. You do make a good point.

    However! Look at the entirety of the romance genre of literature written by women and tell me that similiar stereotypes levied against men aren't present there. Can we really say that those are fantastical men for men?

    Regardless of the above point being valid/invalid about the romance genre, I am generally curious (and ignorant) if there are any female game developers/writers whose games we might point to for examples.

    I just wanted to throw out that I'm severely offended by every male character in Gears of War, Army of Two, God of War, the movie 300, or any game in which a male's status is represented by his strength or ability to kill things. I resent the fact that gender stereotypes force me to aspire to be a specific role like that. It marginalizes all other aspects of being male, and the trope is sexist. I also am offended by the idea that as a male I have to want to dominate, conquer, and control things. [/tongue-in-cheek]

    People get so wrapped around the axle about this kind of stuff. There DEFINITELY are situations where [race/gender/age] are distastefully portrayed. Sorry, but the little cars in Transformers 2 with the gold teeth and bling bling who stole things, couldn't speak well, and couldn't read was a racist portrayal of black people. A buck-toothed Asian farmer with a flat-brimmed hat who can't pronounce the letter L may not be 100% racist, but it's sure as shit demeaning and well beyond useful stereotyping.

    But the trope of amplifying gender roles isn't just applicable to women - it goes both ways, and there's an argumentative fixation on this sort of stuff that just bothers me. If people are going to flip out over a chick wearing a bikini in a video game, they should also be flipping out about muscular, idiotic jocks that scratch their nuts and womanize for social kicks. I'm all for lightening the eff up.

    To add to a list of non-NPC females that are strong-willed:

    -The female lead from Heavy Rain. At one point, she kicks the ass of a bunch of burglars in her house and, I think, sticks a drill bit into a mad scientist.

    -None of the females in FF6 have a damsel complex that I'm aware of (though Celes does get rescued once) and mostly proceed to kick ass.

    -Elly from Xenogears repeatedly rescues Fei, if I remember correctly.

    - Female lead from Secret of Mana - playable, with dialog, on a quest to save her boyfriend.

    - The cast of FF X-2, who spend their lives searching for a boy, and tour as singers and have special powers that let them change into skimpy clothes...wait, nevermind.

    Addendum: I hate the princess from ICO. I'm just throwing it out there. Her only job is to hold onto my hand and make squeaking noises, and she only does 50% of that well. God I hate her.

    Studies show that wearing them enhances proprioception. If this extends to lifting (and why the hell wouldn't it?), then wearing these shoes will enhance form while lifting and economize the various kinetic chains of your lifts and potentially allow you to lift more. evrybdy win

    They're just not going to enhance your chances of picking up chicks, unless you're picking up big bird. I hear he digs brightly colored feet.

    Upgrade your life, and start wearing Vibram Fivefingers all the time. My back pain has vanished, and running is actually fun and pain-free now. Thxx, Vibram! They also just feel "right". Conventional shoes feel so bulky, again, because they disrupt our "expected" proprioception. There's just too much material on them that isn't, well, your foot for your brain to really know where your foot actually *is* when you're wearing them.

    Ugh, man, my wife bought me a pair of these for Christmas. I wore them like 3 times, and I'm not sure if they don't fit my feet or what but I can't stand wearing them. Aside from the fact that they slide all over the floor of the group fitness room at my gym, I dunno. They just take me forever to put on and they aren't comfortable. They slip off my toes all the time.
