remember their mute status and will be unmuted when the group channel is
unmuted.
NOTE
Group Channels: Mute Sources as well does not affect how mute automation
is written. Writing mute automation on a group channel only affects the group
channel and not channels routed to it. When writing the automation you will see
the other channels being muted when this option is checked. However, upon
playback, only the group channel will respond to the automation.
Delay Compensation Threshold (for Recording)
Cubase features full delay compensation - any delay inherent in the VST plug-
ins you use will automatically be compensated for during playback. However,
when you play a VST instrument in realtime or record live audio (with monitoring
through Cubase activated), this delay compensation may result in added latency.
To avoid this, you can click the Constrain Delay Compensation button on the
toolbar or the Transport zone of the Project window. This function tries to
minimize the latency effects of the delay compensation, while maintaining the
sound of the mix as far as possible.
The Delay Compensation Threshold setting is a kind of “tolerance” setting for
the Constrain Delay Compensation function - only plug-ins with a delay higher
than this threshold setting will be affected by the Constrain Delay Compensation
function. By default, this is set to 0.0
ms, which means that all plug-ins will be
affected (e.
g. turned off) when you activate Constrain Delay Compensation. If you
feel that a little latency is acceptable, you can raise this threshold value.
Do not Connect Input/Output Busses When Loading External Projects
Activate this option to load external projects without automatically connecting
their input and output busses to the ASIO ports of your system. If you often work
with projects created on computers that have ASIO configurations different from
the configurations of your own system, this option prevents unwanted audio
connections.
Auto Monitoring
Determines how Cubase handles monitoring (listening to the input signal during
recording). The following options are available:
Manual
This option allows you to turn input monitoring on or off by clicking the
monitor button in the track list, Inspector, or MixConsole.
While Record Enabled
With this option you will hear the audio source connected to the channel
input whenever the track is record-enabled.
While Record Running
This option switches to input monitoring only during recording.
Tapemachine Style
This option emulates standard tapemachine behavior: input monitoring in
Stop mode and during recording, but not during playback.
