English STEREO BUS Using the n8/n12 with Cubase 4/Cubase Studio 4/Cubase AI 4 ■ HARDWARE MIX In this Work mode, the output signal from each Cubase audio track is individually input to each n8/n12 input channel, then mixed and processed via the compressor or equalizer. When this mode is selected, signals sent from the DAW (DAW inputs) will be selected as the input source for all input channels, and the DAW LED in the INPUT SELECT switch area will light up. Cubase AUDIO TRACK AUDIO TRACK AUDIO TRACK AUDIO TRACK n8/n12 INPUT CHANNEL INPUT CHANNEL INPUT CHANNEL INPUT CHANNEL C-R OUT ST OUT ■ 5.1 MIX Only In this mode, audio tracks are routed to the Cubase surround buses. The signals mixed to the surround buses can be monitored via the n12 Control Room monitor. For more information on surround monitoring, refer to page 48. NOTE • You cannot set Work mode to 5.1 MIX if you are using Cubase Studio 4 or Cubase AI 4, since neither application supports the surround environment. • Before you can begin switching Work modes, you must first create I/O buses in Cubase so that audio data can be transferred between Cubase and the n8/n12. If you create a project using one of the n8/n12 project templates, the I/O buses will be created automatically. If you wish to use Work mode, create a new project from one of the project templates. If you plan to create I/O buses manually, refer to the Appendix for information on how to set up the buses. Setting up a musician's monitor If the Work mode on the n8/n12 is set to ST MIX, Cubase audio tracks will be mixed in the Cubase mixer, then output to the n8/n12. If necessary, you can make another audio track mix independent from the main mix (the mix output to the n8/n12). This independent mix can be used as a musician's monitor. To create a musician's mix, transfer Cubase audio track output directly to the n8/n12 AUX bus by using the Cubase mixer send. In the n8/n12 project templates, each audio track send has already been assigned to the n8/n12 AUX bus. By adjusting the send level for each audio track in Cubase in the same way as when you create a musician's mix by using the n8/n12 [AUX] control, you can create a musician's mix. If you create a new audio track, or if you create a project without using the n8/n12 project templates, assign the n8/n12 AUX buses to the audio track sends in Cubase. Cubase AUDIO TRACK AUDIO TRACK MIX AUDIO TRACK AUDIO TRACK n8/n12 AUX BUS LR INPUT CHANNEL DAW TO AUX AUX OUT Only AUX PHONE To transfer signals to the n8/n12 AUX buses from Cubase, "n12 (n8) AUX L/R" must be assigned to the device (audio) port for the output buses (that are assigned to the Cubase audio track sends). The assignments in the n8/n12 project templates are as follows: Output bus n12(n8)-AUX Device (Audio) port n12(n8) AUX L/R You can adjust the volume of the entire monitoring signal either in Cubase or on the n8/n12. You can use the following controls to adjust the volume of the n8/n12's monitor signal.
