2.2 Connection
Now you are ready to record the remote artist. You should see the VST
Connect plug-in user interface; if that window has been closed acciden-
tally, you can re-open it by selecting Open Editor in the Cubase / Nuendo
"Project/VST Connect" menu.
The connection procedure has changed since version 4. With the new
connection procedure, both the Studio and the Performer can initiate a
connection and it is no longer required to exchange a key number. To
be able to use VST Connect, you need a MySteinberg account. Both
Performer and Studio need to be registered with MySteinberg.
Use the "Id" button to toggle between the MySteinberg and the classic
"Key" connection page.
If you run VST Connect PRO, you can also connect locally. Note this
only works if the PRO version is started in Cubase / Nuendo.
All three available connection methods are described in the following
sections.
2.2.1 MySteinberg
PROCEDURE
1. On the top right of the VST Connect and Performer user interface
you will find the login section.
2. Fill in your credentials (MySteinberg email address and pass-
word) and
3. Click the "Login" button.
4. If you do this for the first time and you have not yet provided a
VST Cloud user name (for instance with VST Transit), you will
have to do so now. Choose a name that can be easily recog-
nised, because this is the name that your friends may be search-
ing for, using the search function described below. You will need
to do this only once. Note that a VST Cloud user name can not
be changed later.
