I've just finished a 80 minute mix with 16 or so tracks, using Live for the timestreching but nothing else - then rewiring the channels into five separate Cubase channels. I applied some VST effects, eq etc all in Cubase.
The mix plays pretty much perfectly but when I attempt to record it using the Cubase 'Real Time Export' option, it's full of stops and glitches, usually in places where extensive Cubase automation is in place. A standard audio export doesn't work at all which I expected given that I'm rewiring.
Strangely, the best method of recording has been to simply hit record and let an external Wave editor record the Cubase output, which gives me a near perfect mix with 10-15 small clicks / glitches along the way. Obviously I can use this recording and re-record the parts where glitches have occurred before sticking it all back together, but I'd rather get the programmes to work properly if possible!
Anything I should be doing here? Any magic settings in Live or SX that I might have neglected to turn on that's causing this unreliability?
For the record, the DAW is an AMD 64 4000 with an M-Audio Delta 1010 soundcard, fully configured for audio and normally rock solid in terms of reliability. Rendering the mix is only using about 10% of CPU and there's plenty of available RAM too.
Any advice appreciated
