    Recording with or without Direct Monitoring? | CUBASE TIPS
    There’s not much that’s more annoying than trying to record when you can’t hear yourself!
    In the past, maybe you clicked a few buttons with pictures of speakers on them, or moved a few faders around until you could kind of hear what was going on.
    No more!
    In today’s I’ll show you exactly how to use the monitoring options available to you in Cubase.
    Whether you want to monitor through Cubase itself, or your audio interface I’ll show you how to set it up for the best results.

    Man this video is a miracle. Direct monitoring has bugged me for some time and I feel more confident turning on direct monitoring and routing either a stereo audio with reverb in my project window (which I didn't know, thank you so much) or option 2 in my zoom L12 livetrak add reverb to give the singer some effects on her headphones during recording knowing it will only be dry signal recorded which I'm aware off anyway (why didn't I think of the adding of reverb from my audio interface, so thank you again) after watching this video just boosted my knowledge and skills.

    That was a good technical video with a lot of good information.
    I worked before with a Presonus interface and could do the trick about mix direct with processed signal, for example to add reverb to a voice at recording (you mentioned the old video where you show that). Since a couple of months I have a UR-RT4, that you mention at 13:12. I am glad you confirm here that, when working with direct monitoring, you can add effects from the DSP (that works very well) but NOT from the DAW. I had tried all kind of tricks, working with FX channels, sends, duplicated channels, hiring wizards, throwing spells, and so on, without success. I wanted, for example, add delay or similar, but to do that I need to disable the direct monitoring function. It is a very nice interface, though. What good is too, is that, if I send signal to a cue mix and this is routed to outputs 3 and 4 (Mix 2), the direct monitoring works too.

    I'm using a UR28M in my project studio and a UR44 for portable recordings. These actually allow the DSP EQ and Compressor functions to be part of the recorded signal. The Rev-X reverb is only available for monitoring and that's OK because I wouldn't normally want to record reverb but rather add it later. It is great however for the vocalist because they can tweak it as they like and it wont become part of the recorded take.
    Take care.

  • @kdcyp
    @kdcyp 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Great stuff Chris! Coincidentally I just worked this stuff out last week for my Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 using their Focusrite Control software to add Direct Monitoring on to any input and I used Cue2 to give some reverb to the performers headphones. This works great, the only compromise being using punch-in (in tape machine recording mode) when the singer is singing along to the part already recorded before the punchin point, they will hear the latency doubling effect until punch-in when they only hear their direct signal and the reverb. I suppose there’s no way around this other than your first option of low sample rate.

    • @mixdownonline
      @mixdownonline  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I never use Tape Machine Style Monitoring when working with an interface that has no Cubase DM support. Keep the recording mode to Manual. Doesn't matter much, the signer will just hear himself during Playback, no big deal :) And by keeping the recording mode to Manual, activate your Reverb channel's Monitor so it always stays active.

    • @kdcyp
      @kdcyp 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Chris, my reverb is on an FX channel and FX channels have no monitor button so I couldn't do your suggestion (unless I misundertood you), however I noticed the main shortcoming of my setup is on playback before punch-in, the singer in Cue2 headphones only hears the wet reverb signal and not the dry signal but I found a workaround from parts of suggestions from the Steinberg Cubase forum by activating/recording simultaneously on 2 audio channels as follows in manual record mode as follows:
      1st audio channel : input 1 (mic), monitor OFF (only plays back recorded signal), Cue 2 (headphones) ON, Send to FX ON.
      2nd audio channel :input 1 (mic), monitor ON (only monitors signal being recorded), Cue 2 (headphones) OFF, Send to FX ON.
      FX reverb channel has Cue2 (headphones) ON of course to hear the wet reverb signal..
      Now the singer hears the playback audio dry & wet signal via 1st audio channel and their singing direct from Focusrite Scarlett direct monitorin outside of Cubase, but also wet signal via Cubase from 2nd audio channel.
      It's a bit of extra hassle but not much for a perfect session. Just have to delete the 2nd audio track (or just events/parts) after finished recording. Hope that helps others with only outboard direct monitoring!

    This is very helpful. I was pretty overwhelmed when I first got my Steinberg UR44 C and Cubase 10.5. Thank you. I wonder if you could do a sort of relatively quick setup and monitoring choices- say with a guitar or a quick vocal. Record that and let us hear it working as you monitor. Oh and thank you for including some magnification of the screens where you are accessing certain drop downs. Very helpful. Halfway through my mix down Academy for Cubase now. This is going to help me a lot!

    • @realraven2000
      @realraven2000 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      With the Steinberg UR interface you will get an additional panel on top in mixer called "hardware". On the right, it has a tiny 3way routing switch for inserting a real time compressor / EQ and a send for an internal reverb, which is a shared send for all directly monitered tracks. You get to choose whether you record the compressor / eq on the track or just use it during monitoring.

    • @mixdownonline

I just got an RME UFX III Interface and the DSP FX are "OK" but not really the greatest sounding to my ears. So I want to use a quality VST reverb to add some room to my drums while tracking. Any tipps on how I can do this? Thanks so much! 🙏🏻

  • @Am6-9
    @Am6-9 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    It is worth noting that if you monitor through Cubase, plugins in the signal path (from the channel to master and control room) can add additional latency on top of the interface buffer. Especially things like limiters on the master channel or e.g. Sonarworks in linear phase mode in control room.
    The solution is to either disable (not only bypass) those manually or hit the “constrain delay compensation “ button in the toolbar which will disable all plugins with a latency higher than n milliseconds, where n is a value you can set in Preferences->VST->delay compensation threshold.

I want to record through a Neve 1073 Plugin + LA-2A Plugin. I insert those two FX on my Audiochannel I want to record on and turn the monitor button on.

      Hello! If you monitor through Cubase without Direct Monitoring but with the Monitor button ON, you will hear the processed sound with the plugins inserted on your channel. Just make sure you don't also monitor a dry signal from your RME Interface at the same time as your Cubase signal. Hope that helps!

      @@kdcyp No, I don't believe they do. Note that the term Direct Monitoring can be a bit tricky. It's a generic term for a specific kind of monitoring. But it's also a feature in Cubase. Just because a manufacturer says that their interface has direct monitoring doesn't mean that it compatible with Steinbergs implementation.
      For example, MOTU says that my 828es is capable of Direct Monitoring (and it is, with MOTU software), but it's not compatible with Steinbergs implementation (the Direct Monitoring checkbox is greyed out).
      This is important to keep in mind when choosing an audio interface, if DM is important to you. Perhaps someone whith access to a Focusrite interface can check if their implementation is compatible with Cubase (the Direct Monitoring checkbox is NOT greyed out).

    I can't find a way to use interface direct monitoring while tracking and using pre-roll. I can hear the sound of what was recorded trough my DAW but when the armed track start to record I hear the channel doubled. From DAW and interface direct monitoring... I can't think in a workaround.. usually I monitor directly by DAW but my new interface have a mixer that can be controlled by iPad and that's very useful..

    Yo, can somebody help me? So, I'm on day 2 of trying to set up a personal headphone mix with a direct monitored vocal with dspfxmix added in for recording vocals. I am using Cubase 8 Artist (so no control room), and a Steinberg Ur 824. I officially have it set up to work without direct monitoring. But with direct monitoring, I can not get the vocal track to sound right on Mix 2 L/R which is where I'm sending the headphone mix too, while my assistant on the PC can still hear the original track in his headphones in Mix 1 L/R. I have tried swapping Mix 2 L/R to main output, everything. The direct monitor vocals that sound right always comes out of the stereo output. How do i get this signal into my headphones. I'm losing it at this point. lol.

    Something that is not gone over very much, that we need more info on IMO, is using effects during tracking! For example....if a singer needs reverb, and possibly compression or auto-tune during their performance....but you don't have any outboard gear to make it happen that way...how can you make it happen with plugins, while still preserving the performance and low latency! How to make it happen without a DSP enabled interface, like UAD's Apollo interfaces etc., and no outboard gear either!

    • @mixdownonline
      @mixdownonline  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      In that case, bring your buffer size at the lowest that your computer and interface can handle and use plugins that don't generate delay so Cubase doesn't need to delay compensate for them. I will cover “Cubase constrain delay compensation “ in next week's video.

      That's probably a Display Settings issue on your computer, maybe your resolution id too small or something, try changing your display resolution on Windows or Mac to give you the change to resize the export window and then change it back to your preferred resolution. Hope that makes sense!

      That can be useful if you already have a bunch of plugins in your session. Cubase compensates by delaying all the other channels so all channels stay in sync. Constrain Delay Compensation will turn off all the plugins that generate delay, so you can record with a minimal delay Compensation effect. I will make a video next week on this with a good example to show up :-)

    Very important subject. You're missing one vital point, though! How do you use your "non-direct monitor compliant interface" method with Tape Machine Style Monitoring. The problem is that this mode automatically turn on the "Monitor" button on the channel when you punch in recording or stop playback! So, the method you describe won't work with the Tape Machine Style Monitoring mode.
    I've been wrestling with this for quite a while. I'm using a MOTU 828es interface. It's an excellent interface, but i doesn't support DM. As far as I know, only Steinberg interfaces do. Although, according to Greg Ondo, there's no thechnical reason why other manufactures can't support DM too. Only the N.I.H. syndrome.

    • @mixdownonline
