Audio Hardware Configuration
Most audio cards provide one or more small applications that allow you to customize your
hardware.
The settings are normally gathered on a control panel that can be opened from within Cubase or
separately, when Cubase is not running. For details, refer to the audio hardware documentation.
Settings include:
●
Selecting which inputs/outputs are active.
●
Setting up word clock synchronization.
●
Turning on/off monitoring via the hardware.
●
Setting levels for each input.
●
Setting levels for the outputs so that they match the equipment that you use for
monitoring.
●
Selecting digital input and output formats.
●
Making settings for the audio buffers.
Plug and Play Support for ASIO Devices
The Steinberg UR hardware series supports plug and play in Cubase. These devices can be
plugged in and switched on while the application is running. Cubase automatically uses the
driver of the UR series and re-maps the Audio Connections accordingly.
Steinberg cannot guarantee that this works with other hardware. If you are unsure of whether
your device supports plug and play, refer to the documentation of your device.
IMPORTANT
If a device that does not support plug and play is connected or disconnected while the computer
is running, it can get damaged.
Setting Up Input and Output Ports
Once you have selected the driver for your audio hardware and have set it up, you must specify
which inputs and outputs to use.
