I`m trying to get to grips with using buses. I`m sending lead vocals to a new bus. I`m sending harmony vocals to an additional bus. I use compression on both and then the faders to get my mix with the rest of the track going through the master.
I have checked my routing. But when I want to export a mix of the piece and chooses buses Cakewalk wants to give me three separate tracks for the three buses...whereas I want the mix that I can hear as a wav file.
I`m doing something fundamentally wrong here...or simple don`t understand the use of buses.
Please check out the screen grab. It should be obvious to the experienced used where the mistake lies.
To get round the problem I`ve reverted to my usual way of working without creating buses. Get everything right in each individual track and then export the master bus.
Any advice gratefully accepted. Many thanks.
