Cubase. If it is off, press the [REC READY] switch
in the DAW Remote Control section to turn on the
Record Enable button.
The REC bus signals will be sent to the
corresponding audio track. If you want to record the
signals without any VST effect being applied,

While the Record Enable button and monitoring button
are turned on, the REC bus monitoring signal will be

signal returned from Cubase will be routed to the
STEREO buses, enabling you to monitor the signal.

While you are using the Monitor Remote function, the
input channel signals being sent to the REC buses
will temporarily be disconnected from the STEREO
bus so that they will not be doubled in the monitor
sound; this allows you to monitor the signal that is
being routed through Cubase. While the Monitor
Remote function is active, the corresponding input
channel’s [ST] switches flash. If you deactivate the
Monitor Remote function, the [ST] switches stop
flashing.
To activate the Monitor Remote function, first turn the
Record Enable buttons on, then turn the MONITOR
REMOTE [ON] switch and [REC BUS WET] switch
on.

• Processing the signals via the VST or other
effects may cause latency in the monitoring
signal.
• While the Monitor Remote function is active,
the effect signals will be directly routed to the
AUX output. Therefore, the [AUX] control for
the corresponding input channels will be
disabled. If you wish to adjust the monitoring
balance between the instruments, adjust the
level in Cubase.
