Typographical Conventions

Many of the default key commands in Cubase use modifier keys, some of which are different depending on the operating system. For example, the default key command for Undo is [Ctrl]-[Z] on Windows and [Command]-[Z] on Mac OS X.

ENGLISH

When key commands with modifier keys are described in this manual, they are shown with the Windows modifier key first, in the following way:

• [Win modifier key]/[Mac modifier key]-[key]

For example, [Ctrl]/[Command]-[Z] means “press [Ctrl] on Windows or [Command] on Mac OS X, then press [Z]”.

Introduction

NOTE

How You Can Reach Us

Similarly, [Alt]/[Option]-[X] means “press [Alt] on Windows or [Option] on Mac OS X, then press [X]”.

This manual often refers to right-clicking, for example, to open context menus. If you are using a Mac with a single-button mouse, hold down [Ctrl] and click.

How You Can Reach Us

PROCEDURE

Hardware Installation

Installing the Audio Hardware and its Driver

1. Install the audio hardware and related equipment on the computer, as described in the hardware documentation.

2. Install the driver for the audio hardware.

A driver is a piece of software that allows a program to communicate with a certain piece of hardware. In this case, the driver allows Cubase to use the audio hardware. Depending on the operating system of your computer, there are different types of drivers that can be used.

Dedicated ASIO Drivers

Professional audio hardware often comes with an ASIO driver written especially for the device. This allows for direct communication between Cubase and the audio hardware. As a result, the devices with specific ASIO drivers can provide lower latency (input-output delay), which is crucial when monitoring audio via Cubase or using VST instruments. The ASIO driver may also provide special support for multiple inputs and outputs, routing, synchronization, etc.

ASIO drivers are provided by the audio hardware manufacturers. Make sure to check the manufacturer’s web site for the latest driver versions.

If your audio hardware comes with a specific ASIO driver, we strongly recommend that you use this.

System Requirements and Installation

NOTE

Hardware Installation

Generic Low Latency ASIO Driver (Windows Only)

On Windows systems, you can use the Generic Low Latency ASIO driver. This driver provides ASIO support for any audio hardware supported by Windows, thus allowing for low latency. The Generic Low Latency ASIO driver provides the Windows Core Audio technology in Cubase. No additional driver is needed. This driver is included with Cubase and does not require any special installation.

This driver should be used if no specific ASIO driver is available. Although the Generic Low Latency ASIO driver supports all audio devices, you might get better results with on-board audio cards than with external USB audio interfaces.

Mac OS X Drivers (Mac only)

If you are using a Macintosh computer, make sure that you are using the latest Mac OS X drivers for your audio hardware. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install the driver.

ENGLISH

Testing the Audio Hardware

To make sure that the audio device works as expected, perform the following tests:

• Use any software included with the hardware to make sure that you can record and play back audio without problems.

• If the hardware is accessed via a standard operating system driver, try playing back audio using the standard audio application of the computer, for example, Windows Media Player or Apple iTunes.

System Requirements and Installation

NOTE

PROCEDURE

Setting up Your System

Installing a MIDI Interface or USB MIDI Keyboard

Although many USB MIDI keyboards and MIDI interfaces are plug&play devices, you may have to install a dedicated device driver. Follow the installation procedure described in the documentation that came with the device.

You should also check the manufacturer’s web site for the latest driver updates.

Setting up Your System

Selecting the Driver for Your Audio Device

Before you can set up the routing for your audio signals and start recording, you need to make sure that the correct ASIO driver is selected.

1. Select Devices > Device Setup.

2. In the Device Setup dialog, click the VST Audio System entry on

3. On the ASIO Driver pop-up menu, select the driver that you want

4. Click OK.

to use.

System Requirements and Installation

PROCEDURE

Setting up Your System

Setting Up the VST Connections

The VST Connections dialog allows you to set up the routing of input and output signals between Cubase and your audio hardware. These connections are called busses. In this section you learn how to set up the busses for playback and recording.

Removing Busses

Before you add busses, it is recommended to remove any outputs that were automatically added by Cubase.

1. Select Devices > VST Connections.

2. In the VST Connections dialog, select the Outputs tab.

3. In the Bus Name column, right-click the top entry and select Remove Bus from the context menu.

ENGLISH

If necessary, repeat this step for any further busses.

System Requirements and Installation

PROCEDURE

Setting up Your System

Adding Outputs

You must set up the outputs for playing back audio in Cubase.

PREREQUISITE

Remove the busses that were automatically added by Cubase.

1. Select Devices > VST Connections.

2. In the VST Connections dialog, select the Outputs tab.

3. Click Add Bus.

4. In the Add Output Bus dialog, make your settings.

5. Click Add Bus.

The new bus is added, allowing you to have audio in Cubase routed to your audio hardware.

6. Optional: If you want to change the output ports that were selected automatically, open the Device Port pop-up menu and select different ports.

Depending on your audio hardware, more than two output ports might be available. For most cases we recommend to use the main stereo outputs.

Einleitung

HINWEIS

Typographische Konventionen

Für viele Standardtastaturbefehle in Cubase werden Sondertasten verwendet, die sich je nach Betriebssystem unterscheiden. Der Standardtastaturbefehl für »Rückgängig« ist z. [Strg]-[Z] und unter Mac OS X [Befehlstaste]-[Z].

Wenn in diesem Handbuch Tastaturbefehle mit Sondertasten beschrieben werden, stehen die Windows-Sondertasten an erster Stelle:

• [Windows-Sondertaste]/[Mac-Sondertaste]-[Taste]

So bedeutet z. B. [Strg]-Taste/[Befehlstaste]-[Z]: »Drücken Sie die [Strg]-Taste unter Windows bzw. die [Befehlstaste] unter Mac OS X und dann die Taste [Z]«.

Entsprechend bedeutet [Alt]-Taste/[Wahltaste]-[X]: »Drücken Sie die [Alt]-Taste unter Windows bzw. die [Wahltaste] unter Mac OS X und dann die Taste [X]«.

Sie werden in diesem Handbuch oft dazu aufgefordert, mit der rechten Maustaste zu klicken, z.

B. um ein Kontextmenü zu öffnen. Wenn Sie auf einem Mac mit einer Eintastenmaus arbeiten, müssen Sie dafür beim Klicken die [Ctrl]-Taste gedrückt halten.

B. unter Windows
