Tutorial 6: Mixing and effects
2. Choose “Stereo” for “Configuration”, select the “Ste-
reoDelay” effect and click OK.
3. We are going to put delay on the “Elec Guitar” track.
Let’s set the delay so that the left side and right side have
different delay settings and make sure the “Mix” is set to
“100.0”.
Giving the stereo delay different left and right settings creates a more dy-
namic effect.
4. With the delay set, click the “Edit Channels Settings”
button of the “Elec Guitar” track.
5. Select “FX 1-StereoDelay” from the “Select Send
Destination” pop-up menu.
6. Click the “Activate Send 1” button to turn on the send.
This will allow you to send the guitar to the “StereoDelay”.
7. Move the slider to the right to raise the level of the
send to the “StereoDelay” effect. You will begin to hear
the guitar being delayed. Clicking the “S” (solo) button on
the track will allow you to hear this more clearly.
8. The great thing about FX Channels is that the channel
looks and feels just like a regular audio channel. When you
set an EQ for an FX Channel, only this effect will be
changed by the EQ. In our case changing the EQ on the
“FX 1 – StereoDelay” FX channel will only change the EQ
of the delay.
About automation
Automation allows us to make objects such as faders and
knobs move by themselves. This is very handy in that we
can tell Cubase to make changes over a period of time
and those changes will be remembered and will occur
again without our attention.
