Audio Connections Window
External FX Tab(Cubase Pro only)
This tab allows you to create send effect or return busses. You can use these to connect external
effects which can then be selected via the effect pop-up menus from inside the program.
The following options are available above the bus list:
+- All
Expands/Collapses all busses in the bus list.
Add External FX
Opens the Add External FX dialog, where you can configure a new external FX.
Favorites
Lets you store external effect configurations as favorites that you can recall.
The following columns are available for the bus list:
Bus Name
Lists the busses. Click the name of a bus to select or rename it.
Speakers
Indicates the speaker configuration (mono, stereo, surround formats(Cubase Pro
only)) of each bus.
Audio Device
Shows the selected ASIO driver.
Device Port
Shows which physical inputs/outputs on your audio hardware are used by the bus.
Expand the bus entry to show all speaker channels. If the bus entry is collapsed, only
the first port that is used by this bus is visible.
The Device Port pop-up menu displays how many busses are connected to a given
port. The busses are shown in square brackets next to the port name.
Up to 3 bus assignments can be displayed in this way. If more connections have been
made, this is indicated by a number at the end of the port name.
For example, “Adat 1 [Stereo1] [Stereo2] [Stereo3] (+2)” means that the Adat1 port is
already assigned to 3 stereo busses plus 2 additional busses.
Delay
Allows you to enter a value to compensate for an inherent delay (latency) of your
hardware effect device during playback. You can right-click the Delay column for the
effect and select Check User Delay to automatically determine the delay value.
NOTE
The latency of the audio hardware is handled automatically by Cubase.
Send Gain
Allows you to adjust the level of the signal that is sent to the external effect.
