You put the left and right locators around the area you want then select Export Mixdown from the file menu.

Can you hear the MIDI files? What sounds are they playing, I mean to say have you routed the MIDI tracks output to VST instruments?

Or are you using external sound generators?

If so you will need to send the audio from them back into your PC by using the sound card audio input.

The best way to go is to use VST instruments and have your MIDI tracks play them.

Then exporting is very easy.

yea i just found that using the vst instruments works but i have a lot of tracks which dont use a vst instrument so it would be very helpful if you can explain how exactly i send the midi files into the sound card input or watever i have to do. Thanks

You best bet is probably to record each track as an audio file. Plug the output of your keyboard into your sound card input and then select VST Inputs as the source in within Cubase.

Once you have recorded them all you'll be able to mix them down.

You may find delays occur so a shift here and there may be necessary.

Typically in a studio you would record to a mastering device, or another computer for mastering.

good luck
