The n8/n12 features a special function that enables you to link the n8/n12 with Cubase.
Using this function, you can seamlessly synchronize mixer operation with Cubase, and record and mixdown with
tremendous efficiency. As an example, this section describes using Cubase 5 with the Link function.
What you can do using the n8/n12 with Cubase
Linking the n8/n12 to Cubase enables you to perform many neat tricks. For example...
■ Controlling Cubase remotely
From the n8/n12 panel, you can remotely control the
Cubase transport section and set up audio tracks.
■ Directly recording mixer
signals to Cubase
You can record input channel signals or REC bus
signals from the n8/n12 directly into Cubase.
This direct recording capability is very easy and
convenient.
■ Turning on and off VST or
other effects applied to the
monitor signal
From the n8/n12 panel, you can choose whether or
not you wish to monitor through the mixer the input
signals processed by VST effects in Cubase. This is
called the Monitor Remote function. You can easily
turn this function on or off depending on the
requirements of your recording environment.
While the Monitor Remote function is turned on, you
can monitor the input signals processed by the VST
effects.
■ Mixing Cubase tracks on the
n8/n12
You can add stereo signals from Cubase audio tracks
to the mix on the n8/n12, or route each Cubase audio
track to an individual input channel on the n8/n12.
Using the n8/n12 with Cubase 5 series
You must have Cubase 5/Cubase 4/Cubase Studio 5/Cubase Studio 4/Cubase Essential 5/Cubase Essential 4/Cubase AI 5/
Cubase AI 4 to use the Link function. Cubase SX3 and Nuendo 3 (and any previous version) are not compatible with this
feature. For the most recent information on compatibility with the latest version of Nuendo, refer to the following website.
