Audio Connections

Renaming the Hardware Inputs and Outputs

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 3 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 Adat1 port is

already assigned to 3 stereo busses plus 2 additional busses.

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.
