Why you should read this Chapter

This chapter contains some details and background theory about how Cubase VST

handles audio and MIDI, as well as some terminology used throughout this manual

and in the program. Please take the time to read this, as it will aid you in using the

program in the most effective way (when working with audio, you should also read

the chapter “Optimizing Audio Performance” for best results).

Audio Channels vs Tracks

Many audio recording systems do not make a difference between audio channels

and Tracks, which is the way a regular tape recorder works: one channel - one

Track. Cubase VST however, has a much more ﬂexible approach to handling audio,

as we shall see. This is important to note, especially if you have previously been

working with a system where Tracks and Channels are one and the same thing.

Tracks

An Arrangement can contain a practically unlimited number of Tracks. Each Track

has a Channel (Chn) setting that determines which audio channel the Track records

and plays back on, just like you select MIDI Channel for a MIDI Track. The possi-

bilities are:

• A single (mono) channel, for example “7”.

• A stereo pair, for example “3+4”

• “Any”.

All these alternatives are described below.

Audio Channels

An audio channel plays back one

mono

audio recording at a time.

In Cubase VST, the number of audio channels you have access to is limited by your

computer’s processing power, the amount of free RAM and the speed of the hard

disk (see page 356).

The number of audio channels puts a limit to how many audio recordings can be

played back at the same time. For example, in a four channel system, you could

play back:

• One lead vocal recording (one channel), plus

• One backing vocal recording (one channel), plus

• One mono bass recording (one channel), plus

• One mono guitar recording (one channel)...

...all at the same time.
