Cubase is a Steinberg application that uses ASIO as its only audio interface
standard. The ASIO driver is selected from the “ASIO Device” popup menu
of the “Audio System Setup” dialog:
If you want to enable ASIO direct monitoring for Cubase, enable the “ASIO
Direct Monitor” checkbox in the Audio System Setup dialog.
The “Launch” button accesses the Mobile I/O driver options dialog, which
allows you to set the ASIO buffer size. Cubase does not apply the new buffer
size automatically. You will need to switch the ASIO Device popup to
another driver and then back to Mobile I/O for the buffer size change to take
effect.
The Audio System Setup dialog also provides access to the sample rate and
clock source settings for the Mobile I/O driver.
Cubase’s VST Inputs window provides access to the controls to name the
ASIO input channels. It also allows you to enable input channels. The port
names that appear on the left hand side of the window are the physical input
ports reported to Cubase from the driver. The names on the right side of the
window are configurable by you. The “Active” buttons down the middle of
the window control which channel pairs have been enabled in the driver.
You need to enable these to assign input strips to the hardware channels, but
under normal circumstances, you should only enable the channels you
need. Especially if you are mixing and pushing your processor to the limit,
you can gain some extra processor power by enabling the minimum number
of input channels.
