Setting up the VST connections
The VST Connections window allows you to set up the routing of input and
output signals between Cubase and your audio hardware. These connections
are called “busses”. In this section you will learn how to set up the busses so
that you can get playback and recording working.

Cubase. Let’s start from scratch and remove any outputs that were automati
