I have been playing with Groove Agent and loading the midi files as user arps. When working with the DAW it appears I need a higher version of Cubase to actually record the waves directly in the Cubase Project. I am having so much fun that this function alone (recording VST as audio), is compelling reason to upgrade. The issue is that you can not assign the inputs of an audio track from the outs of a group channel or a new bus in elements from what I can see. I know this is a bit off topic, but this all about playing the Montage with the DAW setup. Do I need to upgrade Elements? and to what version in order to record audio directly.

If you want to record the output of a VST as audio in any version of Cubase (including Cubase Elements) you simply setup to EXPORT > Audio Mixdown ...if I’m understanding your post correctly.

VSTi generated on the computer are setup so the routing is already done, you simply go to:
FILE > EXPORT > Audio Mixdown

This will have the software render the MIDI that is being used to trigger the VST as a proper Audio Track which you can have Cubase add to your Project.

Worked beautifully, this totally expands my work flow.... I really bounce off the beats, and having the ability to mix and match beats and kits with my performances and scene setups on the fly is really really productive. The process you just showed me worked perfectly. Anyone who misses the onboard seq for pattern type song development.... should really check this VST (Groove Agent) out. Thanks again!! Phil, I would have stumbled around for days b4 I found the simple export process, if ever. I love the performance recorder on the Montage, but getting into the Cubase Elements, is just opening up a whole new set of workflows for me.

What a surprise, just as I am getting into the DAW / VST out comes 2.5, having a blast with Groove Agent, and I found an ARP Odyssey VST last night, which was my first synth. I am having so much fun playing with Montage, the DAW automation, and learning my way around Elements. The integration and now automation between the Montage, Elements/Cubase, and Virtual instruments is so much fun, it feels illegal. Great update, loving the Montaged Motif XF and new performances, and I didn't have to load any libs....I even have an extra slot now...:p
