I’m new to Cubase and have a question that I couldn’t find an answer for in the manual.
I’d like to add two audio tracks - at the same time - for recording electric guitar/bass; one track is a DI for later reamping and the second track is for recording a guitar/bass signal from an external processor or mic’d amplifier.
Adding two audio tracks at the same time is easy. However, I’d like the tracks to be added at the same time, but with the correct I/O settings for each.
Unless I misunderstood your question, you just need to set the appropriate input routing in the inspector for each track, so that the DI and amp track get the correct inputs from your audio interface.
Yes, I’d need to setup the I/O routing in the inspector for each track. However, because I’d have to do that many, many times during a project, I’m hoping to find a way to add two audio tracks that already have the settings they need.
It just occurred to me … I could just create two new audio tracks and setup the I/O for each at the beginning of a new project and leave them empty. Then, use the duplicate tracks function to add two new audio tracks for reamping whenever I need to. This assumes it’s possible to duplicate multiple tracks at the same time (haven’t tried that yet).
Maybe look into ‘Templates’.
Open blank Project, Add and name commonly used tracks, setup all I/O, Add the inserts you always use etc, Then save as a template to use as a starting point for all future projects.
However, I don’t know how many pairs of reamping tracks I’ll need for a project. If it’s possible to duplicate multiple tracks at the same time, then that might be an easy solution.
I’m reading about Track Presets to see if that would accomplish what I’d like to do. Macros might be another possible solution.
