About Monitoring
In the Audio Connections window, you can set up the busses that are used for monitoring,
activate/deactivate and open the Control Room.
When the Control Room is disabled on the Control Room tab of the Audio Connections
window, the Main Mix bus is used for monitoring. In this case, you can adjust the monitoring
level in the MixConsole.
In Cubase Artist, the Main Mix bus is always used for monitoring.

External Instruments and Effects(Cubase Pro only)
You can integrate external effect devices and external instruments, for example, hardware
synthesizers, into the sequencer signal flow.
Requirements
● To use external effects, you need audio hardware with multiple inputs and outputs.
An external effect requires at least one input and one output or input/output pairs
for stereo effects in addition to the input/output ports that you use for recording and
monitoring.
● To use external instruments, a MIDI interface must be connected to your computer.
● Audio hardware with low-latency drivers.
Cubase compensates for the input/output latency and ensures that the audio that is
processed through external effects is not shifted in time.
