Track Handling
Tracks are the building blocks of your project. In Cubase, events and parts are placed on tracks.
Channel Configurations
The channel configuration of audio, group channel, and FX channel tracks defines their number and configuration of speaker channels. Cubase supports mono, stereo, and several 2D and 3D surround channel configurations.

Channel Configurations

The channel configuration of audio, group channel, and FX channel tracks defines their number and configuration of speaker channels. Cubase supports mono, stereo, and several 2D and 3D surround channel configurations.

The channel configuration is set when creating a track. For other channel configurations than mono and stereo, you cannot change the configuration of existing tracks.

For audio, group channel, and FX channel tracks in your project, you can change the channel configuration from mono to stereo and vice versa at any time.

Note

You cannot switch channel configurations during recording.
You cannot switch the channel configuration of a frozen track.

When you switch the channel configuration, the following routing rules apply:

When switching from stereo to mono, the left signal of the stereo input is used.
When switching a mono track that uses a mono input bus to stereo, the mono input bus is kept.
