to it. Channels that were muted prior to the group channel being muted will not
remember their mute status and will be unmuted when the group channel is
unmuted.
NOTE
Group Channels: Mute Sources as well does not affect how mute automation is
written. Writing mute automation on a group channel only affects the group channel
and not channels routed to it. When writing the automation you will see the other
channels being muted when this option is checked. However, upon playback, only
the group channel will respond to the automation.
Delay Compensation Threshold (for Recording)
Cubase features full delay compensation - any delay inherent in the VST plug-ins you
use will automatically be compensated for during playback. However, when you play
a VST instrument in realtime or record live audio (with monitoring through Cubase
activated), this delay compensation may result in added latency. To avoid this, you
can click the Constrain Delay Compensation button on the toolbar or the Transport
zone of the Project window. This function tries to minimize the latency effects of the
delay compensation, while maintaining the sound of the mix as far as possible.
The Delay Compensation Threshold setting is a kind of “tolerance” setting for the
Constrain Delay Compensation function - only plug-ins with a delay higher than this
threshold setting will be affected by the Constrain Delay Compensation function.
By default, this is set to 0.0 ms, which means that all plug-ins will be affected (e. g.
turned off) when you activate Constrain Delay Compensation. If you feel that a little
latency is acceptable, you can raise this threshold value.
Do not Connect Input/Output Busses When Loading External Projects
Activate this option to load external projects without automatically connecting
their input and output busses to the ASIO ports of your system. If you often work
with projects created on computers that have ASIO configurations different from
the configurations of your own system, this option prevents unwanted audio
connections.
Activate ‘Link Panners’ for New Tracks(Cubase Pro only)
Activate this to activate Link Panners by default for new tracks so that the channel
sends section always mirrors the Pan settings made in the channel fader section.
Auto Monitoring
Determines how Cubase handles monitoring (listening to the input signal during
recording). The following options are available:
● Manual
This option allows you to turn input monitoring on or off by clicking the
monitor button in the track list, Inspector, or MixConsole.
● While Record Enabled
With this option you will hear the audio source connected to the channel input
whenever the track is record-enabled.
● While Record Running
This option switches to input monitoring only during recording.
● Tapemachine Style
This option emulates standard tapemachine behavior: input monitoring in
Stop mode and during recording, but not during playback.
NOTE
The automatic monitoring options apply when you are monitoring through Cubase,
or when you are using ASIO Direct Monitoring. If you are monitoring externally
