Setting up your software
Now it is time to set up your programs. The procedures below describe how to set things
up in Cubase. If you are using another program on the other computer, please refer to its
documentation.
Setting the sample rate
The projects in both programs must be set to use the same sample rate. Select “Project
Setup…” from the Project menu and make sure that the sample rate is the same in both
systems.
Streaming digital audio between applications
PROCEDURE
1. Create input and output busses in both applications and route these to the digital
inputs and outputs.
The number and configuration of the busses depend on your audio hardware and
on your needs. If you have a system with 8 digital i/o channels (such as an ADAT
connection), you could create several stereo or mono busses, a surround bus together
with a stereo bus, or any combination you need. The important thing is that you should
have the same configuration in both applications – if you have 4 stereo output busses
on computer 1, you want 4 stereo input busses on computer 2, etc.
2. Set things up so that computer 1 plays back some audio.
For example, you could import an audio file and play it back in Cycle mode.
3. In the Inspector or MixConsole, make sure that the channel containing the audio
material is routed to one of the digital output busses.
4. On computer 2, open the MixConsole and locate the corresponding digital input bus.
The audio being played back should now “appear” in the program running on computer
2. You should see the input bus level meters moving.
5. Reverse this procedure so that computer 2 plays back and computer 1 “listens”.
RESULT
Now you have verified that the digital connection works as it should.
NOTE
From this point on in this chapter, we refer to the busses connected to the digital inputs and
outputs as “VST System Link busses”.
Settings for the audio hardware
When you exchange VST System Link data between computers, it is important that the digital
information is not changed in any way between the programs. Therefore, you should open
the control panel (or additional application) for your audio hardware and make sure that the
following conditions are met:
•
If there are additional “format settings” for the digital ports that you use for VST
System Link data, make sure that these are turned off.
