VST 3 dynamics plug-ins with look-ahead functionality feature a Live button that allows you to

disengage the look-ahead. This minimizes latency during real-time recording. For details, see the

separate document Plug-in Reference.

To avoid latency during real-time recording or real-time playback of VST instruments, you can

also use Constrain Delay Compensation.

Tempo Sync

Plug-ins can receive timing and tempo information from Cubase. This is useful to synchronize

plug-in parameters, such as modulation rates or delay times, to the project tempo.

Timing and tempo information is provided to plug-ins of the standard VST 2.0 or later.

To set up tempo sync, you must specify a base note value. Straight, triplet, or dotted note values

(1/1 to 1/32) are supported.

For details about the included effects, see the separate document Plug-in Reference.

Insert Effects

Insert effects can be inserted in the signal chain of an audio channel. This way, the whole channel

signal passes through the effect.

You can add up to 4 different insert effects independently for each audio-related channel (audio

track, group channel track, FX channel track, instrument channel, or ReWire channel) or output

bus.

The signal passes through the insert effects corresponding to their slot position from top to

bottom.

You can dene post-fader insert slots for any channel. Post-fader insert slots are always post-EQ

and post-fader.

NOTE

To show all post-fader slots in the MixConsole, open the Rack Settings and activate Fixed

Number of Slots.

Use post-fader slots for insert effects where you want the level to remain unchanged after the

effect. Dithering and maximizers are typically used as post-fader insert effects for output busses,

for example.

NOTE

If you want to use an effect with identical settings on several channels, set up a group channel

and apply your effect as a single insert for this group.
