    Very concise and clear explanation for a novice home recorder like myself. I've just acquired a MOTU 896HD second hand, about 20 years old, with 8 inputs. I can now get on quicker than trying to read the Cubase manual or various forums.

    Great video as always. Looking forward to the next one on connecting External Instruments in Cubase Pro. Have followed other videos on setting up external synths up but doesn't work well for me when trying to use vst effects on hardware synths. Hopefully it will include a detailed step by step set up explaining the best routing audio interface connections etc, as I've scanned your book (version 11) and can't find much about why it's not working well for me in there.

      Either would do - it's more a case of which you prefer to use. I would typically set up mono channels as that is an easier way for me to think during a session (i.e. I don't have to translate between the physical inputs and a left or right channel of a stereo pair), but some people prefer to have a stereo input and just "know" that physical input 1 is Stereo In Left.

      If you're using an ASIO driver, then it will work with only one device (or type of device), so you'd need to use something like ASIO4ALL to be able to address different devices at the same time. In short... no.

    Not a Cubase or Nuendo user yet, really just admiring from afar and wanting to figure out if making the leap makes sense for game audio. Really like the UX, it's very intuitive and mostly how my brain works, so it's ticking a lot of boxes for me!
    With Audio Connections, how would you organize say an external mic pre-amp that can take microphones, line signals and instrument level signals?
    How about a Line 6 Pod rack that takes both instruments and mics?
    Neither are what I'd call 'External Effects', but in the case of the Line 6 Pod rack, I guess it could be treated as one for re-amping.
    How would you organize these?

    • @musictechtuition
      @musictechtuition  2 роки тому +1

      Hi. I don't have a Pod, but had a quick look at the manual, and from what I can see, it doesn't act as an audio interface (happy to be corrected if I read the wrong manual!) - so for that I'd be looking at what interface I'd be plugging the Pod into, and going from there. You certainly could use it as a re-amping interface if you have enough I/O in your audio interface, but in terms of setup, I'd tend to just create the inputs I use regularly and go from there; on my "me in the studio" connections setup, I have a stereo in from my Helix, a Mic in from my TLA preamp, and a couple of "generic stereo" inputs for my audio interface that are from my patchbay if I need to plug anything else in. That covers 90% of my 'working on my own in my studio' applications, but if not then I'll just create the needed changes for the session in question (often this is for making MTT videos). I have a couple of other setups here which mimic client studios to allow me to set projects up for them when I send projects back to them, too. HTH.

      Thanks! The problem with issues like that is there are lots of places that the audio can get 'lost', so I'll just run through a quick list: Channel Fader level / automation. Channel mute (automation in particular). Channel output routing (accessible in top section of mixer). HSSE settings: Channel Fader (mix page), Routing (RHS of mix page), HSSE MIDI volume / expression level (from midi/instrument channel data). Hopefully one of those will sort you out.

      I just took a quick look at the spec of the MG16XU, and it says "USB with 2 Stereo In-/Output (compatible with iPad Version 2 or higher, Camera Connection Kit required)" - that says to me that it only has two ports, line1, line2 as you're seeing. Many mixers are like this - they are multi-channel in the analogue domain, but only have a stereo in/out over USB. HTH.

    Excellent tutorial. Thank you. 😊 I got one question: I got a huge collection of hardware synths, they are connected to 3 patch bays. I got 16 hardware interface Input channels and usually I pre-defined some audio Input channels in Cubase as stereo tracks. Now I got more mono instruments than stereo ones. Does it make sense to pre-configure all 16 Inputs as mono channels and pan stereo instruments left and right on two of them? I want to have more freedom when choosing different mono instruments from the patch bay. Thank you a lot! ❤

      If you're using a dedicated ASIO driver, then there isn't (unless it's multiples of the same kind of device and the driver allows this). If you're on Windows, it's possible to use multiple devices at the same time using ASIO4ALL, but I've not done that in a loooong time!

    Hi, Is it at all possible to play a project in Cubase and sing along with fx in the mic and all the sound coming out of my studio monitors. This is a no brainer in cakewalk, simple to set up, but I'm going round in circles, driving me mad trying to achieve this in Cubase. I don't think Cubase can do this. Can you help? Cubase Pro 11 and Windows 10, RME FireFace 400.

    • @musictechtuition
      @musictechtuition  2 роки тому

      Hi Rob. As long as your interface can go low enough in terms of latency (which yours definitely can), then you should be able to achieve what you want by adding effects to either an input channel or the track you want to hear the voice on, and monitoring that channel. You'll then get playback from Cubase while hearing the input (the mic) on the monitored channel. If you want to record the FX to the track, then put the effects on the input channel, otherwise put them on the track, and your recording will be dry, although you'll still hear the effects on playback. I prefer to record dry as it gives more options, but sometimes I'll put the fx on the input as they're either needed or I definitely won't be changing my mind.

    Really need advice please! I want to start writing music again using Cubase. Some years ago I used to have a desktop, however now I own a laptop and will need an external sound card. Majority of the work is to be with VST instruments and Midi keyboard. I am considering audio interfaces but don't know if they can be used for VST work (and not audio). Could you please spare some advice as its been a long time for me. I am thinking of Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 or Behringer UMC404HD Audio Interface - would ether of those allow me to work with low latency in Midi signal and using VST only? ( Does the Midi keyboard connect to the interface directly or still to the PC/Laptop through a USB? I think the laptop I have should be sufficient: Intel Core i5 8300H, 8 Gig Ram, GeForce GTX-1060 (6 Gig video memory), SSD. Thank you in advance!

    • @musictechtuition
      @musictechtuition  3 роки тому +2

      Hi. Briefly, both of those will work fine for you - if you need more inputs, then go for the Behringer. As it happens, I own both of them, and they both work fine; if anything I've had fewer issues with the Behringer. VST or Audio makes no odds - once it's in the computer, both are essentially the same, and are coming out as digital audio that the interface will turn into analogue audio for you to listen to. Most modern MIDI keyboards will connect via USB instead of "real" MIDI, but if you need physical MIDI ports, the UMC404 has them, and the 2i2 doesn't.
      Laptop will be fine to be going on with, I'm sure, although if you can get more RAM in it, that will help.

      Hi. While the mixer has multiple inputs, it only has a USB audio interface on it that supports a stereo input and a stereo output - this is pretty common on this sort of mixer - so you'll just have (probably) the stereo output (that you'd hear via studio monitors) and a stereo return (from the PC) that can be routed to your studio monitoring system. To record them individually, you'd need a mixer with a multi-channel interface on it - like some of them here: thehomerecordings.com/mixers-usb-multitrack/
