Track Import

You can import tracks from other Nuendo or Cubase projects or track archives. This allows you, for example, to import premixed tracks or stems to your active project, or to reuse the mix settings of a previous project for a new song.

You can decide for each individual track whether to create a new track in your active project or to replace data on an existing track. If you use identical track names in both the imported and the active project, you can automatically select matching tracks as the import destination. You can choose to import the track events only, the track settings only, include or exclude automation data, or import all track data.

When importing multiple tracks that are related to each other via sends, output routing, quick link, or VCA fader within the source project, these relations are retained in your active project.

Depending on the track type, the following import rules apply:

Audio, instrument, MIDI, sampler, VCA, group, effect, and folder tracks

• If New Track is selected as destination, a new track is created in the active project. This track contains all imported track data, including track versions.

• If an existing track is selected as destination, the imported track data is applied to this track.

  If events or parts are imported to an existing track, existing track versions in the active project are kept, track versions from the source project are added, and a new track version is created.

  If a folder track is imported to an existing track, the content of this track is entirely replaced by the tracks of the imported folder track.

Marker tracks

• If New Track is selected as destination, a new marker track is created. If your project already contains 32 marker tracks, you cannot import marker tracks from another project. In this case, you must remove an existing marker track first.

• If an existing marker track is selected as destination, the imported track data replaces the existing track data.

Chord tracks

• If New Track is selected as destination, a chord track is created. If your project already contains a chord track, it is replaced by the imported chord track.

• If an existing chord track is selected as destination, the imported track data replaces the existing track data.

Video tracks

• If New Track is selected as destination, a new video track is created. If your project already contains 2 video tracks, you cannot import a video track from another project. In this case, you must remove an existing video track first.

• If an existing video track is selected as destination, the imported track data replaces the existing track data.
