What you can do using the n8/n12 with Cubase

Linking the n8/n12 to Cubase enables you to perform many neat tricks. For example...

Controlling Cubase remotely

From the n8/n12 panel, you can remotely control the
Cubase transport section and set up audio tracks.

Directly recording mixer

signals to Cubase

You can record input channel signals or REC bus
signals from the n8/n12 directly into Cubase.
This direct recording capability is very easy and
convenient.

Tur ning on and off VST or

other effects applied to the

monitor signal

From the n8/n12 panel, you can choose whether or
not you wish to monitor through the mixer the input
signals processed by VST effects in Cubase. This is
called the Monitor Remote function. You can easily
turn this function on or off depending on the
requirements of your recording environment.
While the Monitor Remote function is turned on, you
can monitor the input signals processed by the VST
effects.

Mixing Cubase tracks on the

n8/n12

You can add stereo signals from Cubase audio tracks
to the mix on the n8/n12, or route each Cubase audio
track to an individual input channel on the n8/n12.
Using the n8/n12 with Cubase 4/Cubase Studio 4/Cubase AI4
