About output busses
Cubase AI uses a system of input and output busses
which are set up using the VST Connections dialog. This
is described in the chapter “VST Connections: Setting up
input and output busses” on page 9.
Output busses let you route audio from the program to the
outputs on your audio hardware.
Viewing the output busses in the mixer
Output busses are shown as output channels in a sepa-
rate pane to the right in the mixer. You show or hide this
pane by clicking the Hide Output Channels button in the
mixer’s common panel.
Each output channel resembles a regular audio channel
strip. Here you can do the following:
• Adjust master levels for all configured output busses using the
level faders.
• Add effects or EQ to the output channels (see the chapter
“Audio effects” on page 85).
MIDI-specific procedures
This section describes basic procedures for MIDI chan-
nels in the mixer.
Using Channel Settings
For each MIDI channel strip in the mixer (and MIDI track in
the Track list or the Inspector), there is an Edit (“e”) button.
Clicking this opens the MIDI Channel Settings window.
By default, this window contains a duplicate of the mixer
channel strip.
You can customize the Channel Settings window, by
showing/hiding the different panels and/or by changing
their order:
• To specify, which panels should be shown/hidden, right-click
in the Channel settings window, and activate/deactivate the
respective options on the Customize View submenu on the
context menu.
• To change the order of the panels, select “Setup” on the Cus-
tomize View pop-up menu and use the “Move up” and “Move
Down” buttons in the dialog that opens.
Every MIDI channel has its own channel settings window.
