Monitoring
In Cubase, monitoring means listening to the input signal while preparing to record or while
recording.
The following ways of monitoring are available:
●
Via Cubase.
●
Externally by listening to the signal before it reaches Cubase.
●
By using ASIO Direct Monitoring.
This is a combination of both other methods.
Monitoring via Cubase
If you use monitoring via Cubase, the input signal is mixed with the audio playback. This requires
an audio hardware conguration with a low latency value.
PROCEDURE
1. In the track list, activate Monitor.
2. In the MixConsole, adjust the monitoring level and the panning.
You can add effects and EQ to the monitor signal using the channel of the track. If you are
using plug-in effects with large inherent delays, the automatic delay compensation function
in
Cubase will increase the latency. If this is a problem, you can use the Constrain Delay
Compensation function while recording.
3. In the Preferences dialog, select VST.
4. Open the Auto Monitoring pop-up menu, and select a monitoring mode.
RESULT
The monitored signal will be delayed according to the latency value, which depends on your
audio hardware and drivers. You can check the latency of your hardware in the
Studio Setup
dialog (Audio System page).

External Monitoring
External monitoring means listening to the input signal before it is sent into Cubase. It requires
an external mixer for mixing the audio playback with the input signal. The latency value of
the audio hardware conguration does not affect the monitor signal. When using external
monitoring, you cannot control the level of the monitor signal from within Cubase or add VST
effects or EQ to the monitor signal.
