Selecting the Work mode

The n8/n12 enables you to select the output destination
of Cubase audio tracks using just one switch. This
destination setting is called "Work mode." The n8
provides two Work mode options (ST MIX and
HARDWARE MIX), and the n12 provides three Work
mode options (ST MIX, HARDWARE MIX, 5.1 MIX).
You can change the Work mode setting at any time as
appropriate for your situation. For example, you can
select ST MIX for recording, then change to
HARDWARE MIX for mixdown.
To select a Work mode, use the WORK MODE switches
in the DAW Remote Control section.

All WORK MODE switches turn off immediately after the
mixer is connected to Cubase. When you press one of
the switches to select a desired Work mode, the
corresponding output destination is selected in Cubase,
and the switch LED lights up. The following paragraphs
describe each Work mode.
