Quick Guide

VST Connect is used by two people, the artist or talent performing vocals or other

instrument, and an engineer in a studio using Cubase/Nuendo along with the VST

Connect components. The artist downloads and installs the VST Connect

Performer application or app. The Apple OSX and Microsoft Windows versions are

freely downloadable from the Steinberg website, the iPad IOS version is very

affordable. Everything else that is required on the artist side is a microphone,

headphone, and audio interface along with a suitable driver. For a test, even the

built-in hardware can be used, but for reasonable quality recordings, a good audio

interface like the Steinberg UR22 is recommended.

For a quick start, and also for explaining some of the new features of this version,

we will start by describing the steps necessary on the Cubase/Nuendo end,

assuming the artist is ready to go and has installed and launched the VST Connect

Performer application (or app).

For the impatient, and those already familiar with previous versions of VST Connect,

here is a super-quick rundown how to start remote recording instantly:

PROCEDURE

1. Create a new Cubase/Nuendo project or use an existing one.

2. Access the Project/VST Connect menu and choose "Create VST Connect".

3. If not already present, create a Talkback channel using "Add Talkback" in the

same menu.

4. If the VST Editor is not already visible, choose "Open Editor".

5. Enter your name in the "Name" field and click the "Login" button. A code

appears in the “Key” field; pass this to the artist and let him/her enter it in the

Performer app "Key" field and hit the "Connect" button.

RESULT

You can see, hear, and immediately record the artist now, just like you would record

yourself or somebody else next door!
