Cubase Mixer issues

[mitchiemasha]

If there is no output on output 2 and 3 but they are showing as busses in cubase, you simply haven't selected the right outputs for that specific Virus channel in VC.

If you want to use the multiple hardware audio outs of your Virus and to not send audio via USB, you'll have to reroute the audio back into cubase using wires and a soundcard.

Imagine it like this, cubase makes a midi note trigger and other controller information. That goes down the USB cable to the VIRUS. The Virus then generates the sound and sends it out the master output. In VC you can control different Virus part to go out either of the sockets on the back. Doing it this way you can't add any VST effects to the Virus unless you route it back in Via a sound card.

HOWEVER. This is TI. Cubase makes the midi note trigger etc that goes down the USB to the VIRUS. The Virus generates the sound (edit: the digital sound not actual audio) and sends it back up the USB cable into cubase (there's 3 of these channels available via the USB). You can now stick any number of VST effects your PC will allow, manipulating the Virus sound. Cubase then sends it's master out back down the USB and out the master output. Using the Virus as a Synth and a soundcard, this might be what's confused you, imagine it as 2 different things but via 1 cable, at the same time.

It really is a lot simpler than it sounds though. It does everything automatically for you when you click the right option. Much easier than how things used to be, routing synths through soundcards and figuring out controller messages, correcting latency etc!!!

I don't use my Virus as a Soundcard, there's no connection on any of the audio outs.
