Forgive me as im trying to learn cubase but am seriously struggling. I have created a track, midi drums, synths sent to effects etc. I have bounced it down to MP3 and Wave, and when I play back via windows media player all of my midi drums are missing out of the mixdown...... Everything else is there but the drums.... When I open it in cubase everything is there, drums play away etc.. but not in the bounced file. I thought it might be that the drums (which are GM mapped via LM7) were only going to a monitor track but have no idea how to rectify this! I have tried to look on the net but cannot find anything, Please help, its probably just me being a plum, but im so close to completing my first song and its really annoying me

What happens then? Does the resulting file contain any drum sounds? Usually, everything you hear during playback in Cubase, goes to a "bounced" WAV (or whatever audio file format you choose) - this applies at least, if you don´t use external midi instruments. An LM-7 should be heard in a bounced WAV without any "tweaks"... If it does not work, try what happens, if you start off with a new project file. Insert a MIDI track, put some notes into it, route the track through an LM-7. Then export to WAV and hear, if there´s anything in this file. Generally, it would be helpful to know at least, which particular version of Cubase you are using. ;-) Hope that helps, Phil

Play the song. Does audio from the drums show up in the output bus at the far R. of the mixer window? Have you set up any custom routing at all?

Sorry for the lack of info, Im using Cubase SX3. I am using a Midi Keyboard. When I play the track in Solo mode no sound comes to the output bus at the far right. Im dont think I have set up any custom routing but not sure where to check. Have looked in the preferences on the midi filtering but cannot see anything. I'll have a look at creating a new track and route it through the LM7 and export.

How do I check to see what they are routed too?

Ok just created a midi track, input some notes via key editor using the piano instrument. Same thing, nothing exports just a blank file. but when I send the creation to a VST instrument the sound plays on my output bus on the far right and exports down. I have three options on where to send the sound (without a VST instrument) 1 is Microsoft GS wavetable SW (Synth), the other 2 ar SB X-Fi synth A & B. I have tried to send to all three and still get no output on a standard riff. My Sound card should be alright, its a Soundblaster X-Fi with Asio compatibility so Im stuck.........

Ok, think im there..... My VST instruments are going out via an ASIO Multimedia Driver Sterio out. These appear in the output bus on the far right. When I create a midi riffsI dont have the option of sending them to ASIO Multimedia Driver Stereo out. but I can get around it by sending them though a VST instrument so...... Thanks for all your time, I really was pulling my hair out!!!!! if anyone know why I cant send my output on midi created files to my ASIO Multimedia Driver Stereo out please let me know............ Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!
I think you're catching on now? Cubase can mix down sounds created in Cubase. This means audio tracks and VST instrument tracks (which are essentially audio tracks with a sound-producing insert effect applied.) If you route MIDI to devices outside Cubase - hardware synths on your soundcard or the Microsoft Synth in Windows - Cubase won't include these in a mixdown. There are ways to feed these sources back into Cubase. Have you read my FAQ pages? CubaseFAQ page: http://www.laurencepayne.co.uk/CubaseFAQ.htm
