Mixing with Cubase AI
In this section we’ll try mixing down multiple recorded audio tracks to stereo, and creating a wav file. Mixes can be stored as WAV or AIFF files, which can then be recorded to audio CDs.

Launch Cubase AI and open a project file.
Click the [Start] button on the Transport Panel.
While listening to playback, drag the channel strip level faders up and down to create the desired initial balance, then adjust the overall volume using the bus volume fader.
Drag the pan controls on the top of the channel strips left and right to set the stereo position of each track.
5 At this point you can begin to use EQ to refine your mix, and add effects.
As an example let’s try adding reverb. Click the [Edit] button ( ) on the left side of the channel strip to open the VST audio channel settings window. Click Insert 1 and select Earlier VST
→RoomWorks SE.
NOTE For further details refer to the pdf manual provided with the Cubase AI software.
It’s a good idea to lower the channel fader a bit before adding an effect, since the effect can cause an increase in the overall channel level.
CAUTION
6 When the final mix adjustments have been made, go to the [File] menu and select [Export] → [Audio Mixdown].
