How to get a WAV out of a Cubase project
You need audio out of a Cubase project and Cubase is not on the machine you have. What the .cpr can give up without Cubase is its writing: the MIDI parts, played here on stand-in instruments and written to WAV. Its recordings and its VSTs' sound stay in Cubase.
- Drop your .cpr: The project is read in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to read it, and no account is needed. What comes out of it are its MIDI parts: the notes in each one, where it sits, and the tempo.
- It renders by itself: The studio opens on the parts and starts the WAV straight away. Each track's notes are played by a stand-in picked from the track's name (a kick lane on a drum kit, a bass on a bass), rendered on our server from a General MIDI sound set, usually in seconds.
- Download the WAV: One file of the arrangement lands in your downloads. Your first three a month need no account; a free account gives you 120.

Questions about the Cubase project to WAV converter?
We have answers.
Can I convert a .cpr to WAV without Cubase?
Yes, its MIDI parts: drop it here and they are played on stand-in instruments. Audio tracks and your VSTs' sound do not come along.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
Your first three WAVs a month need no account. A free account raises that to 120 a month.
What bit depth and sample rate is the WAV?
16-bit at 48 kHz, because the stand-ins' samples are 16-bit. Parts rendered in Sources can be exported at 24-bit or 32-bit float.
Why are my audio tracks missing?
The studio reads a Cubase project's notes, not its recordings. For the audio, export a mixdown from Cubase.

What a .cpr gives up, and what it keeps
A Cubase project is a binary document that arranges parts and events and points at everything that sounds: VST instruments, their presets, the audio files in the project folder. Here the MIDI parts come out (every note, its length and velocity, where the part sits) and stand-ins picked from the track names play them. Cubase's audio events do not come along: the studio does not import a Cubase project's recordings, only its notes, so an audio track is not in the file you get. A project with no MIDI parts has nothing to play here.
Why the WAV is 16-bit
Everything playing is a stand-in, rendered on our server from a General MIDI sound set whose samples are 16-bit, so the WAV is 16-bit at 48 kHz; a deeper file would carry nothing more. A part you play on a modelled instrument in Sources, signed in, becomes real audio, and File → Export audio… can write that at 24-bit or 32-bit float, as a mix or a stem per track.
