Now its time to select the input and output channels. From the Devices menu, select VST
Connection. The VST Connections window appears. Select the Inputs tab:
For every input channel you are intending to use simultaneously, you need to create a separate bus.
Cubase LE 4 allows you add mono or stereo busses – what is better for your application depends on
the situation. For example, if you record from a microphone, you typically would use a mono bus. If
you record from a CD Player with a stereo line output, you would use a stereo bus instead as the
signal you are recording is already stereo. With Add Bus you can add a new Mono or Stereo bus.
The screen shot above shows several mono busses which allows you use each single channel as a
separate mono input in your projects. In the Device Port column, you can assign a physical
hardware input of ESU1808 to each bus.
Select the Outputs tab to configure the output busses:
As with inputs, your output busses can also be mono or stereo. The example above shows one
stereo output bus that you are typically using as your master output and a few mono busses as well.
Under Device Port you can assign the physical hardware output channel to each bus.
You can now start using Cubase LE 4 by opening an existing project or creating a new project. The
input and output busses you have created can be assigned to the individual tracks of your project.
