Track Import from Projects

Audio, instrument, MIDI, chord, marker, and video tracks can be imported directly from other Nuendo or Cubase projects. You can import audio, instrument, and MIDI tracks either as new tracks or as new TrackVersions of existing tracks.

Depending on the track type that you want to import, the following applies:

Audio, instrument, and MIDI tracks
  • If you import a track as a new track, a new track is created in your project. This new track contains all events, channel settings, and TrackVersions of the imported track.

  • If you import a track as a new TrackVersion of an existing track, a new track version of the existing track is created. This new TrackVersion gets the name of the imported track and contains all events of the imported track. The channel settings of the existing track remain unchanged. If the imported track contains more than one TrackVersion, only its active TrackVersion is imported.

Marker tracks

Cubase Pro only: A project can contain 10 marker tracks. If your project already contains 10 marker tracks, you cannot import a marker track from another project. In this case, you must remove an existing marker track first.

Note

Cubase Pro only: Projects from other Steinberg applications can contain more than 10 marker tracks. If you import marker tracks from these projects, only the first 10 selected marker tracks in the Import Options dialog are imported to your project.

Cubase Artist only: A project can contain only one marker track. If your project already contains a marker track, it is replaced by the imported marker track.

Chord tracks

A project can contain only one chord track. If your project already contains a chord track, it is replaced by the imported chord track.

Video tracks

A project can contain only one video track. If your project already contains a video track, you cannot import a video track from another project. In this case, you must remove the existing video track first.

Note

Projects from other Steinberg applications can contain more than one video track. If you import video tracks from these projects, only the first selected video track in the Import Options dialog is imported to your project.
