VST Connect

Connection

Now you are ready to record the remote ar

tist. You should see the VST Connect

plug-in user interface; if that window has been closed accidentally, you can re-open

it by selecting "Open Editor" in the Cubase/Nuendo "Project/VST Connect" menu.

PROCEDURE

1. If you haven't done so yet, type your name in the "Name" field in the top right

"Network login" section. This can be your real name, or a nickname that the

artist will see.

2. Click on the "Login" button right to the name field. A two-part number ("Key")

will appear in the second field below the name, provided you are connected

to the Internet. Communicate this number to the artist, for instance via SMS,

email, or phone.

3. Ask the artist to start the Performer application and enter a name in the

"Name" field in top right section, also labeled "Network

the "Key" number into the according field. Make sure that there is a blank

(space) between the two groups of numbers.

4. Ask the artist to click the "Connect" button.

If the Performer should be connected in your Local Area Network (LAN), and

provided that you are running the PRO version of VST Connect, the green LAN

button in the Performer application is lit. The artist can then click this to see and

select your computer to connect as is described in the Performer documentation.

You should now see the artist in the VST Connect plug-in window, provided he or

she has a webcam connected and installed, and hear his or her voice provided he

or she has connected a microphone via an audio interface to the computer. It is also

necessary that the Performer Track in Cubase/Nuendo is in Monitor mode (the

yellow speaker icon must be lit) to be able to hear the artist's microphone signal,

just the same way it would be required if you wanted to hear your own signal source

when recording alone.

If this is the first time, you may have to hel

p the artist assigning the correct video

and/or audio device and connections:
