Is it possible to freeze only the effects in cubase sx3?

I suppose that another alternative might be to just record a 100% mix of the effect. Then take the effect offline and use the render of it, in it's place. :shrug:

Either way it seems like an odd way to work. Not sure what you think that you're gaining by keeping the synth/VSTi live but not the effects. IMO, you might as well render both out at the same time, as a loop. :shrug:

Think about it, what comes out of the effect is totally dependant on what is fed into it so if you change the input, the output must also change. OTOH, you can freeze a synth just fine as it has no input, just output.
I was suggesting putting the effect, by itself, on a submix and routing the synth/VSTi to the sub. Then just freezing the submix. I'm not sure how Cubase works but I just tried this out in Ableton Live, but Live won't allow the freezing of a track that is recieving ("monitor" set to "in") input from another track. :shrug"

Pre-fader send

Send to group channel

Pull down source channel fader

Solo

Render to audio


Sorted.


As already mentioned though...why would anyone want to render an effect and not the source? If it's purely to save CPU then common sense dictates you render both. Either together or separately (personally I prefer separately)?

Dont forget though that Cubase has offline effects. Any midi or audio file should be right-clickable and then u see ur VST FX options for this type of offline processing. U can render statically and even tell Cubase how long u want the tail to be. In this way, u can keep applying FX to ur sound sources without using CPU.
