Audio Hardware Configuration

Most audio cards provide one or more small applications that allow you to customize your hardware.

The settings are normally gathered on a control panel that can be opened from within Cubase or separately, when Cubase is not running. For details, refer to the audio hardware documentation.

Settings include:

  • Selecting which inputs/outputs are active.

  • Setting up word clock synchronization.

  • Turning on/off monitoring via the hardware.

  • Setting levels for each input.

  • Setting levels for the outputs so that they match the equipment that you use for monitoring.

  • Selecting digital input and output formats.

  • Making settings for the audio buffers.
