Cubase 8.0.20

[SirChris]

Plugins in my insert channel do not work when monitor button is activated. So I can’t use them in real time when tracking. However on playback the plugins come alive.

This happened after updating to 8.0.20

I tried uninstalling Cubase 8 and reinstalled, then installed update again and the problem is still there.

Any ideas? Gonna leave it like this for a few days and try to resolve before I revert back to 8.010


I’m on PC, Win 7 64x, Intel i5.


Any ideas?

Do you have direct monitoring activated?

[Martin.Jirsak]

Do you have Constrain Delay Compensation enabled?

[SirChris]

Nope, its not enabled.

If I’m going to track say DI Guitars for example, yes. I have the monitor button on that channel activated so I could listen through the Amp Simulator or use the Tuner plugin. But none of the plugins respond. I do however hear what I’m playing in real time.

If I hit record anyways, I’ll hear my clean DI signal from the guitar as I’m playing. Then when I hit stop and play it back, I’ll hear back what i just recorded only with the Amp Sim activated.

Direct Monitoring is set in Devices->Device Setup->Your Audio Driver. It overrides that monitor icon so that it plays direct so you don’t hear plugin latency. It is most likely your problem.

Oh my God you’re right. I had latency issues with a client just before I upgraded. No matter what sample rate I used the vocalist could hear a slight delay in his headphones and ended up hitting direct monitor.

Thanks so much!
