VST Connections: Setting up input and output busses
• Cubase only: If you press [Alt]/[Option] and select an
input or output bus in the Mixer Routing View, it will be
chosen for all selected channels.
This makes it easy to quickly set several channels to use the same input
or output. Similarly, if you press [Shift] and select a bus, the following se-
lected channels will be set to use incrementing busses – the second se-
lected channel will use the second bus, the third will use the third bus
and so on.
Ö If the Routing panel isn’t shown, click the Show Rout-
ing button in the extended common panel or open the
Mixer context menu and select “Show Routing View” from
the Window submenu.
The “Show Routing” button in the extended common panel of the Mixer.
When selecting an input bus for a track you can only se-
lect busses that correspond to the track’s channel config-
uration. Here are the details for input busses:
• Mono tracks can be routed to mono input busses or individual
channels within a stereo or surround input bus (Cubase only).
• Mono tracks can be routed to External Inputs that are config-
ured in the Studio tab of the VST Connections window. These
can be mono or individual channels within a stereo or surround
input bus (Cubase only). They can also be routed to the Talk-
back input.
• Mono tracks can also be routed to mono output busses, mono
group output busses or mono fx channel output busses, pro-
vided that these will not lead to feedback.
• Stereo tracks can be routed to mono input busses, stereo in-
put busses or stereo child busses within a surround bus (Cu-
base only).
• Stereo tracks can be routed to External Inputs that are config-
ured in the Studio tab of the VST Connections window. These
can be mono input busses or stereo input busses. They can
also be routed to the Talkback input.
• Stereo tracks can also be routed to mono or stereo output
busses, mono or stereo group output busses and mono or
stereo fx channel output busses, provided that these will not
lead to feedback.
• Surround tracks can be routed to surround input busses (Cu-
base only).
• Surround tracks can be routed to External Inputs that are con-
figured in the Studio tab of the VST Connections window, pro-
vided that these have the same input configuration.
• Surround tracks can also be routed to output busses, provided
that these have the same input configuration or will not lead to
feedback.
For output busses any assignment is possible.
To disconnect input or output busses, select “No Bus”
from the corresponding pop-up menu.
Viewing the busses in the mixer
In the mixer (Cubase only), busses are represented by in-
put and output channels (shown in separate panes to the
left and right in the window). You can show or hide these
independently by clicking the Hide Input Channels and
Hide Output Channels buttons in the common panel:
Ö In Cubase Studio, only the output busses are visible in
the mixer!
The input busses you have created in the VST Connections window are
available for selection on the input routing pop-up menus, but you will not
be able to make any specific mixer settings for the input busses.
!
Assignments that will lead to feedback are not avail-
able in the pop-up menu. This is also indicated by a
one-way symbol.
