what am I doing wrong here ? I just what and input fader to listen to incoming signal . I don’t want to record it just listen while I work on other tracks in Cubase
So an Input track just seems to route audio in to and audio track right ?
unless you hit the Listen button , but then I can’t hear my other VIs and audio tracks in cubase .
Input Channels and Audio Tracks are two separate things.
When you set your inputs under Audio Connections they will appear as Input Channels in the MixConsole. These are not Tracks, but only the signal that you can route to any Audio Track you create subsequently.
Generally you add effects on the Audio Track, so that the signal is always recorded dry even if you monitor the effects when recording. In the case you want to monitor the dry input signal, just Monitor the corresponding Input Channel, or if you want to hear the signal with the effects, Monitor the Audio Track instead.
My input channels are hidden by default.
Perhaps you’ll find these entries helpful when it comes to managing the Mix Console with a large number of channels.
