Default Exporting probems in Cubase SX3

Hey

Ok, my problem is that every time I go to export a song in Cubase using 'Audio Mixdown', it always exports it in 16bit.
Everything is recorded in in 44.1kHz 24bit quality, and no matter what I choose in the options at the export stage, it will always export as 16bit.

Any ideas? and thanks!

On the "Audio Mixdown" menu there is a drop down for which bit depth you want.

Hey

Sorry, but I just can't see it!

On the 'Export Audio Mixdown in - [file location]' menu, I have:-
the folders to save it in
the file name
file type (currently mp3)
attributes (currently 320kBit/s, 44.1kHz, Stereo)
quality (currently highest)
Outputs (currently ASIO multimedia driver, don't know what this is...)
Channels (stereo obviously)
Sample rate (44.1kHz)

And thats it.
Once I click save it then asks for the ID3 tag options, which I give it.

After that it exports it, still as 16bit

I am almost 100% sure the first thing I ever exported in Cubase on this PC was 24bit, but I can't find any settings to get it back to that!

Thanks again!

i found that if you export and dont import to the pool or track
it will export as a 24 bit wav. maybe then you could convert it with an outside converter. hope this helps

Is your project definitely running at 24 bit? If your sound card can't handle it (either because of a setting or because it doesn't support it), your project will run at 16bit. If that's the case and you export it and add it to your project, then it will have to stay at 16 bit.

Thanks guys!

If I export as a .wav I can export as 24bit.

Also, I checked out the settings on the soundcard, and it appears to me that as I am recording at 44.1kHz, it will do it at 16bit. However, Cubase is set to 24bit. If i set the soundcard to higher sampling rate, it will then go to 24bit, I suppose I really should have checked everything out before I started this project... Theres always something I miss!

Ah well, theres always next time...!

Really? I figured Cubase would still export to whatever you wanted regardless of the system. Maybe not.

Definitely! There are no 24 bit MP3s files that I'm aware of. It would defeat the purpose anyway.

Story of my life! I have always felt weird about it. About a week ago I started reading a book about the Manhatten Project. They were talking about this robo-genuis physicist dude who won like 3 Nobel Prizes. They said he ALWAYS screwed his math up each and every time. He couldn't handle details. He had to have his students do the math for him. It became a joke.

So while I have 0 Nobel prizes, I've at least learned it's okay to screw your math up!
