A question about Audio Routing for screen recording or streaming on Cubase Windows 10

 When we are using Cubase on Windows 10, sometime we want to record the screen to share our music by video, or streaming for teaching students. 
 But there is the question, most screen recording software or streaming software can't catch the audio from Cubase, so the video you've recorded contains no audio. 
 Are there any methods to solve this problem?

B.W.

Well, for e.g. using OBs with Cubase, there is one thread here:

(And other tutorials are available on e.g. Youtube).

I have used VB-Audio’s “Voicemeeter” plugin on Windows 11 with Nuendo and a MOTU 16A interface.

The interface allows for more than one software to access it at the same time.

My Nuendo mix goes to the interface, within the interface the Nuendo mix gets routed back “to the computer”, and Voicemeeter can receive that signal.

Voicemeeter takes all computer audio, the returned signal from the 16A (from Nuendo) and sends that out to Zoom. The signal from Zoom also goes into Voicemeeter. I use VB-Audio “VBAN Talkie” over the network to get talkback which sends to Zoom as well.

If your interface can allow more than one software to access it at the same time this is one solution.

RME allows for loopback and WDM at the same time as ASIO. You don’t say what audio interface you have?

I have Arturia Minifuse 1, But I don’t know how to use its loopback to let those recording software to catch the audio

…p.20 and followings. Can’t say much more about it, as I don’t have one…

I finally made it!
It is so easy and I had never found this solution before. Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. Below is the example for Windows 10 and Arturia Minifuse 1 . No need to download or install anything but just install Voicemeeter Banana and Minifuse ASIO Driver (Maybe it is also possible for any other audio interface that has loopback function and loopback port).

  1. Launch Cubase - Studio - Audio Connection - Output - Stereo Out
    Make sure the “Audio Device” is connected to Minifuse ASIO Driver, then turn the “Device Port” to LOOPBACK Left and Right, just as the screenshot shows below.

  2. Launch Voicemeeter Banana - Set your audio interface as Hardware Out A1. Then select Voicemeeter Input as your computer system audio device.

  3. In the search box on the taskbar, type control panel, then select it from the results. Select Hardware and Sound from the Control Panel, and then select Sound.

  4. On the second tab, select LOOPBACK Left/Right then select Properties .
    (The first tab is “playback”, but I don’t know what word the second tab exactly is. I can’t change my system language right now, so it is Chinese. But I believe you guys can understand what I am showing. Smile :grimacing:. )

  5. Still on the second tab, click the square and listen to this device. (I’m not sure what it says in English……just look at the screenshot and it may be easy to understand. ) Then chose Voicemeeter Input as playback device.

  6. Back to Cubase and make a sound for testing. Now you can hear sound from Cubase come out from your speaker, and the streaming software such as OBS can catch the audio from Cubase (from Voicemeeter exactly) too!

It is so easy and has almost zero latency. I hope this solution can help more people with the same situation.

One thing that I have not tested yet is OBS screen-recording when high CPU and RAM pressure on Cubase. Not sure if it is still low latency or not lagging the device.
