Renaming the Hardware Inputs and Outputs

The following columns are available for the bus list:
Bus Name
Lists the busses. Click the name of a bus to select or rename it.
Speakers
Indicates the speaker configuration (mono, stereo) of each bus.
Audio Device
Shows the currently selected ASIO driver.
Device Port
Shows which physical inputs/outputs on your audio hardware are used by the
bus. Expand the bus entry to show all speaker channels. If the bus entry is
collapsed, only the first port that is used by this bus is visible.
The Device Port pop-up menu displays how many busses are connected to
a given port. The busses are shown in square brackets next to the port name.
Up to three bus assignments can be displayed in this way. If more
connections have been made, this is indicated by a number at the end of the
port name.
For example, “Adat 1 [Stereo1] [Stereo2] [Stereo3] (+2)” means that the
Adat
1 port is already assigned to three stereo busses plus two additional
busses.
Click (Outputs tab only)
You can route the metronome click to a specific output bus.
Renaming the Hardware Inputs and Outputs
Before you set up busses, you should rename the default inputs and outputs of your
audio hardware. This allows transferring projects between different computers and
setups.
For example, if you move your project to another studio, the audio hardware may be
of a different model. But if you and the other studio owner have agreed on identical
names for your inputs and outputs, Cubase corrects inputs and outputs for your
busses.
NOTE
If you open a project that was created on another computer and the port names do
not match or the port configuration is not the same, the Missing Ports dialog
appears. This allows you to manually re-route ports that are used in the project to
ports that are available on your computer.
