• The top middle section shows connection status, and transport status, as well
as the Bars and Beats Position and the Tempo as set by the studio when you
are connected. None of these can be changed, they are for informational
purpose only.
• The top right section is where you connect to the studio. See CONNECTION
for further details.
• To the middle left, usually the studio video is displayed, but depending on
other settings, also the large mixer view or settings pages may be seen. See
TOOLBOX ITEMS for more information on this.
• To the right, the Monitor Mixer is shown. See PERFORMER MONITOR
(HEADPHONE) MIX for details.
Connection
Of course, you must be connected to the Internet. A good and reliable Internet
connection is vital to the quality of both sound and video; WiFi connections may
work, but it is always a good idea to connect to the router with a solid Ethernet
network cable.
On the top right, enter your name or a nickname; this is what the engineer will see
when the connection is established. You will then have to get the key number from
the studio engineer who uses VST Connect in Cubase/Nuendo and enter it into the
"Key" field. Note that this number always consists of two groups of numbers
separated by a blank (space). Then, click the connect button on the top right.
If the connection is to be established in a local network, the green "LAN" button will
light up whenever one or more computers in the local network are running
Cubase/Nuendo with the VST Connect PRO plug-in installed. Note that this is only
possible with the PRO version of VST Connect (the Performer application or app
runs against both of the SE and PRO versions). Click the green LAN button to
obtain a list of computers that you can connect to, and choose the desired name
and local IP address entry.
