Now let's have a look at the details.
Cubase / Nuendo Setup
With version 3 of VST Connect comes an all new sub-menu in Cubase/Nuendo that
you can find under the "Project" menu. To begin with, let's assume that you start
from scratch, so the first step is to launch Cubase/Nuendo and
PROCEDURE
1. create a new empty project, using either the "Empty", "Default", or your
preferred default project template. To set up a VST Connect session, all you
have to do is to
2. select "Create VST Connect" from the VST Connect menu. Depending on
whether you are using the built-in VST Connect SE, or have purchased the
VST Connect PRO version, you will find this in the accordingly labeled menu.

This will create an Input channel with the VST Connect plug-in, possibly (if not
existing already) create a Cue Mix Channel in the Control Room Mixer, install
the VST Connect Cue plug-in in that channel, and create an audio track in the
arrangement, which is readily set up to record and chat with a remote artist.
3. You can create more such audio tracks from the VST Connect menu ("Create
Performer Track"), or right click and choose "Duplicate Track" if you need
several recording tracks like for double-tracking, two-part guitars, choir, or
various versions etc. This is similar to creating a new Audio Track and select
"VST Connect" as its input audio source.

The only thing that is left to do, if you haven't already done so is to create a
Talkback setup. You have to do this only once. For convenience, there is an
entry in the VST Connect menu labeled "Create Talkback" which you should
select now.
4. Then make sure that the Talkback channel of the Control Room is assigned
an audio input with your Talkback (abbreviated: TB) microphone attached.
This is done in the "Devices" menu of Cubase/Nuendo:
5. Select "VST Connections" (not to be confused with "VST Connect") in the
"Devices" menu and then, access the rightmost tab labeled "Studio". You
should see the "Talkback" row; assign the according audio port to which your
TB microphone is connected (you may have to click the "+" plus icon to open
up the connections row). This is the same procedure as assigning audio ports
in the "Inputs" tab of the VST Connections panel.
NOTE
If you have never recorded an artist or yourself in your studio using the Control
Room, you might consider having look around the Control Room and its settings in
the "Studio" tab and/or refer to the Control Room section of the Cubase/Nuendo
manual. There are many useful functions available there that relate to professional
studio recording and monitoring.
