ST AUDIO DSP3000 M-Port (DSP24 + ADC&DAC3000)
Montoring
If you disable the internal monitoring function from Cubase (Audio System Setup > Global
Disable), the monitoring (= what you hear) will be controlled by the DSP3000 hardware. Open
External Links and connect Ext.Mixer to Output 1/2. Now the digital mixer of the DSP3000
M-Port controls the complete monitoring of all input and all output signals. Just use the External
Mixer to change the playback volume.
Alternativly you can bypass the DSP24 hardware mixer and use Cubase VST as mixer. The
advantage is that you have more flexible mixer controls and you can work completely inside
Cubase VST. Also it is possible to assign realtime effects (e.g. plugins) on incoming audio signals.
The negative aspect is the increased CPU load with this setup.
To bypass the hardware mixer, connect WaveOut 1/2 to Output 1/2 inside External Links. Inside
Cubase, select Tape Type as monitoring option in the Audio System Setup dialog. If you want to
listen to an input signal, just click on the grey channel button in the VST Channel Mixer of the
corresponding channel. The button will turn yellow to show that the input signal of this channel
gets monitored in realtime. If you have assigned a certain effect or plugin to this channel, you can
hear the processed signal. The limitation is that the signal gets delayed by the latency because it
first gets recorded, then processed and then sent to the output.
If you want to monitor incoming signals in realtime without any delay (zero latency), you can do
this by activating the ASIO Direct Monitoring checkbox in the Cubase VST Audio System Setup
dialog. Cubase VST will then remotly control External Links.
