Cubase, MEAP and Ableton
This is a small tutorial I wrote when discovering the little known software MEAP. The software allows you to batch export, no matter what the file type, instrument or track type from within Cubase so that you can import your files into Ableton to get a live set created.
Enjoy 
MEAP IS EXCELLENT !!
It flawlessly exported all my files (audio, vsts, effects).
Also i managed to get them all into Ableton with a bit of tinkering so its all good
MEAP Set up as follows :
In the “Main Options” tab
Select the correct Audio Application Series
“Locator Selection” should be set to “Separate Parts”
If you have multiple parts on each track this exports each part as its own wave file.
Use the “use stop track” feature and in the “stop track name” select the name of the last track in your project. This stops MEAP after it exports the final track.
Leave Get track names from set to “Project Tracks”.
Use any file path you wish.
Under the Advanced Options Tab :
Leave “Key Sends Delays” as it is, same with “Locator Nose/Tail”
Only tick the following boxes in the sections below :
Remove Empty Tracks
Create Track List Log
End Screen Shot
File Name + Part Position (check transport time display)
And thats it for MEAP !!
Its pretty easy to use and there are loads of other features i haven`t tried yet, but those work so i will leave it at that.
Now for what i changed/set-up in ableton to resolve timing issues, pretty easy really, just followed advice i was given here and in another forum.
I opened Ableton and set tempo to match that of Cubase.
I then went into options>preferences
The first tab i checked was audio, where i changed the driver error compensation so that the “overall latency” was at 0.
I then went into the “record, warp, launch” tab.
changed the “loop warp short samples” to “unwarped one shot”
I also turned off the “auto-warp long samples”
Default warp mode is set to “beats”
And that was it for the software.
When MEAP finishes it gives you a .txt file with names of files and where they are in the track, the file nameing convention is as follows :
for bass it was :
bass_pt01_bx81_01_01_000.wav
SO this tells me that the wave file for the bassline has to be put into Ableton on Bar 81.01.01.
And thats it, now i have my complete track in Ableton, all synced nice
All i need to do now is follow Tom Cosms methods to get everything all cut up and in the session view and i am ready to rock n roll.
ok i hope this helps you out, oh btw i bought the MEAP so it is very stable, the other versions arent :O
If you really want me to i can make a video tutorial tomorrow for all this but there is loads on the site http://www.meap.biz/
you need to make sure you read at least the first part of the manual before doing this as there are a few settings in cubase you need to sort out, AND the new version, when you buy it, comes with the key commands file thats required for the script to run effectively.
