Audio Hardware Conguration
Most audio cards provide one or more small applications that allow you to customize your
hardware.
The settings are normally gathered on a control panel that can be opened from within Cubase or
separately, when Cubase is not running. For details, refer to the audio hardware documentation.
Settings include:
●
Selecting which inputs/outputs are active.
●
Setting up word clock synchronization.
●
Turning on/off monitoring via the hardware.
●
Setting levels for each input.
●
Setting levels for the outputs so that they match the equipment that you use for
monitoring.
●
Selecting digital input and output formats.
● Making settings for the audio buffers.
Setting up Input and Output Ports
Once you have selected the driver for your audio hardware and have set it up, you must specify
which inputs and outputs to use.

Audio Bus Setup
Cubase uses a system of input and output busses to transfer audio between the program and
the audio hardware.
●
Input busses let you route audio from the inputs of your audio hardware into Cubase. This
means that audio is always recorded through one or several input busses.
●
Output busses let you route audio from Cubase to the outputs of your audio hardware.
This means that audio is always played back through one or several output busses.
Once you have set up the internal input and output busses, you can connect your audio source,
for example, a microphone, to your audio interface and start recording, playing back, and
mixing.
