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 configuration 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 track’s channel. 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

(VST Audio System page).
