Setting up your system
Setting up audio
Connecting audio
Exactly how to set up your system depends on many different factors, e. g. the kind of
project you wish to create, the external equipment you want to use, or the computer
hardware available to you. Therefore, the following sections can only serve as
examples.
How you connect your equipment, i. e. whether you use digital or analog connections,
also depends on your individual setup.
Stereo input and output – the simplest connection
If you only use a stereo input and output from Cubase, you can connect your audio
hardware, e.
g. the inputs of your audio card or your audio interface, directly to the
input source and the outputs to a power amplifier and speaker.
Simple stereo
audio setup
This is probably the simplest of all setups – once you have set up the internal input
and output busses, you can connect your audio source, e.
g. a microphone, to your
audio interface and start recording.

Make sure that all equipment is turned off before making any connections!
