Capturing Audio

Workflows » How to work with your DAW » Cubase/Nuendo » ARA (Audio Random Access) » Capturing Audio

This section shows you how to transfer audio from a project in Cubase to Revoice Pro 5 using the ARA Link plug-in.

We will work with two example tracks:

Lead Vocal GUIDE: This will function as our Guide track
Double Vocal DUB: This will function as our Dub track, or the track which will be aligned to the Guide

Choose two pieces of audio to be your Guide and Dub. A comman example would be a Lead Vocal as the Guide and a Backup Vocal as a Dub track.

In order to use the newest ARA workflow in Cubase, we will first select the audio regions that we want to work with. In this case, Lead Vocal GUIDE and Double Vocal DUB.

Next, we will select the Revoice Pro Link VST3 plugin from the Cubase Extensions in the Audio menu, shown below. We could also right-click or ctrl-click a region and select the Revoice Pro Link VST3 plugin from the Extensions menu item.

This will add Revoice Pro as an Extension on each region, and open the plugin window docked in the edit panel. If Revoice Pro is not yet running, you will see the below plugin window. If this is the case, click Start Rv in the top right hand corner to open Revoice Pro.

Once Revoice is running, or if it was already running, the plugin window will appear as in the below image.

The 'Mode' dropdown menu will be discussed in the next section, but for now we will work with the Capture Only mode. Click the Mode drop down and switch to Capture Only if that mode is not already selected.

First, make sure your Guide and Dub regions are selected. Here, we will select Lead Vocal GUIDE and Double Vocal DUB. Then click the Capture Audio button in the Revoice Pro Link plugin window.

If you open your Revoice Pro project window, or click the Show Rv button in the top right of the plugin window, you should see something similar to the below. Revoice has created two new tracks, one called Lead Vocal GUIDE and the other called Double Vocal DUB. The tracks are ready to be processed further within Revoice.

Any tracks that Cubase has created in Revoice Pro are automatically locked. The red padlock in the track's status area indicates this. Although you cannot edit any of the linked audio directly in Revoice Pro (as the track is locked), the ARA interface synchronize each audio segment in Revoice Pro with its linked audio in Cubase.
