Working with the Channel Racks
To set up the routing for a channel, proceed as follows:
1. On the toolbar, activate the “Show Channel Racks” button, select Racks and
activate Routing.
The Routing rack is shown above the fader section.
2. Open the input or the output routing pop-up menu for a channel by clicking one of
the slots of the Routing rack.
The routing selector opens. It contains only busses and group channels that are
configured in the VST Connections window.
3. Select an entry.
The selected input or output is loaded and automatically activated.
• To set up the routing for multiple selected channels at the same time, press [Shift]-
[Alt]/[Option] and select a bus.
You can route the outputs from multiple audio channels to a group. For example, to
control the channel levels using one fader, apply the same effects and equalization
to all the channels.
• To set several selected channels to incrementing busses (the second selected
channel to the second bus, the third to the third bus, etc.), press [Shift] and select
a bus.
• To disconnect input or output bus assignments, select “No Bus”.
Cubase only: For details on routing surround channels, see “Routing” on page 268.
Available Input Busses
The input routing selector only lists busses that correspond to the channel
configuration. If you select a group channel as input for an audio channel, you can
record a downmix, see
“Recording from busses (Cubase only)” on page 115.
For mono channels, the following input routing configurations are available:
- Mono input busses or individual channels within a stereo or surround input bus
(Cubase only).
- External inputs configured on the Studio tab of the VST Connections window.
These can be mono or individual channels within a stereo or surround bus
(Cubase only). They can also be routed to the Talkback input.
!
The settings that you make for the input channel will be a permanent part of the
recorded audio file!
