Mixing recorded tracks
You can easily monitor tracks recorded in Cubase by mixing them on Cubase and setting the n8/n12's C-R SOURCE
SELECT switch to DAW. If you wish to use the n8/n12's compressor and reverb, you can mix tracks using the n8/n12.
This section describes how to send recorded audio track data from Cubase to the n8/n12 input channels, and then mix
them to stereo.

Mixing audio tracks

1.
If the Monitor Remote function is active, turn the
MONITOR REMOTE [ON] switch off to disable the
Monitor Remote function.
2.
If any audio tracks’ Record Enable buttons are
on, turn these buttons off.
3.
Set the STEREO fader to the “0” position, then
make sure that the STEREO [ON] switch is turned
on.
4.
Turn on the [HARDWARE MIX] switch in the DAW
Remote Control section (the switch LED lights up).
When the switch is turned on, the input source for all
input channels is switched to DAW (Cubase audio
tracks).
When you set the Work mode to HARDWARE MIX,
the audio track outputs will be assigned to channels
in the order of their track number.
