Cubase Mixer issues

[mitchiemasha]

So, So far you can make multiple midi tracks and have them play multiple virus parts?

I'm not sure about that version of cubase (i use 5) but when you load the virus as a vst instrument, in the VST instrument rack NOT the create VST track where you have the ability to make midi, audio, group tracks etc. (it looks like you're doing this bit right so far)... In the VST instrument rack there is a lil box with an arrow pointing outwards, next to an e. You need to click this lil box and activate the other 2 outputs. This will create the other 2 busses for your Virus automatically. Then in VC you can just select which USB output you want the midi part to go out. I forget off the top of my head which pull down menu it is but I will have a look. I know where it is when I use it.

I remember the first bit as a few years back I totally forget how to do it and asked the same question.

You can have a total of three stereo busses that will have the ability to run different sounds from the Virus through, adding different effects to each, with out the need to bounce. Some may say "why only 3" but 3 is enough as you never really get more than 3 sounds out the virus anyways.

I may be wrong but I think he got off of USB entirely for audio streaming and went to analog outs. At least that's where I steered him in another thread (to get around the latency issues he was having). Not sure if that's where he is now, but I've been assuming no USB throughout all this. lol.. Underscores the importance of feedback I guess.

If USB works for you then great -- it seems to work for some. Switching to analog outs solved most of my woes.

The automatic enabling of outs I think will only work with USB -- in that case I'm not sure you need busses but I recommend learning them anyway for future hardware connectivity.
