In Cubase VST5 (Win) : set your left and right markers to encompass the stuff you want to render. Mute the tracks that you don't want to render. Open the Master mixer ("control" + "+") and push the "export audio" button. Up pops the file selector and you can name the rendered file, select SR, bit depth, mono or stereo, etc.
One caveat, in VST5, if the source track is not output on "master" (output 1 or 2) you won't get any audio. It's a PITA if, like me, you're using external summing.

Consolidate? Perhaps you mean eliminate unused portions of audio files to reduce their size, like the "compact" command in Pro Tools? If so, select the file(s) in the Pool window, then use the "Minimize Selected Files" command in the Pool menu (which unfortunately, unlike PT, does't provide a "padding" factor - so make sure you're happy with your decisions about trimming the length of audio events within those files, since this is a permanent operation).
When you save a copy of an SX project into a new folder, you also have the option of freezing edits and minimizing the audio files that will be copied into its audio subfolder, BTW.

What i want to do is save the tracks from point zero so i can open the files in another digital system.
On the Mackie HDR it's called rendering.
ProTools, I thought, was called consolidating.
I just gave up looking on Cubase SX.
Thanks.

OK - first you need to make every track start from zero. You can either drag the section/event front back to zero or insert a section starting from zero and glue it to the rest of the track events.
Then set your start and end points - selecting an event and hitting P will do that automatically.
Now select the track you want to save and go to file/export/selected tracks. I'm in Nuendo so if cubase doesn't have "selected track" use audio mixdown and solo the each track for export.
bingo!
cheers

In Cubase SX 2.02.38 (the latest version that you should be running) it is called 'exoprting'.
RTFM. :p Page 764, if I remember, is where the manual talks about exporting with all the steps and pictures to boot.
For your purposes, set the locators to (left) the first bar and (right) to the last bar of the project. That way each of the exported tracks will be easy to place in the new DAW software. Make sure that your output busses are set correctly or the exported files may differ from the actual recorded material.

If I understand your question correctly you are wanting a function similar to "consolidate regions" from Protools inside of Cubase.
There are 2 options. One is to solo each track individially and do an "export". This will include all automation, effects etc and is an internal digital bounce.
The other option (the one I think you're after) is to merge all regions on a track to a single file starting at 1.1.1.1 This will NOT include effects, automation etc - it will just give you a single audio file per track.
To do this you need to do the following:
(1) On each audio track ensure there is a blank region starting at both the beginning and each of your song (the boundaries that you want the track to begin and end with). A quick way to do this is to hold down "Alt" and Click on the track. Repeat for every track you want to merge/bounce.
(2) You should now have this small beginning/end region on every track. Select all regions on all tracks ("Ctrl" + "A")and use the command "Audio -> Bounce Selection". A dialog box will pop up asking if you want to replace events (click replace).
You should now have each track as its own separate file starting at your beginning region and ending at your end region.
Hope this helps.

easiest and most hassle free way in sx2 is "save project to new folder" and then check all the checkboxes, honestly

Saving the project to a new folder does exactly that, and depending on the options checked, saves it with the minimal amount of audio needed to play back the session correctly.
It does not consolidate regions.

Is the latest Cubase update running nice and stable?
I want to update, but I haven't tried downloading it yet.
