Hello, I would like to monitor my guitar while listening the track before Punch IN/OUT.
Thank you
is tape machine mode on?
This is not possible on the same track.
Hi,
Do I understand you correctly, you want to hear both signals, the recorded one and the life one?
I tried the 3 monitoring modes. It’s the same.
All the answers I found indicate the same thing. However, some DAWs, like Reaper for example, allow this…
I’m surprised Steinberg didn’t implement it in Cubase.
Yes that is correct
record on another track?
I record my guitar on a track.
I want to change a few measures with Punch IN/OUT.
I restart a few measures before, record and Monitor ON, and I want to hear what I previously recorded AND my guitar.
Apparently this is not possible with Cubase…
okay, and that don’t work with tape machine style?
I don’t use cubase for recording, but Pro Tools. so not too sure about cubase behaviour.
but I guess you can have one track with the playback and cut it where you start to record on another track. like comping as you go.
Yes, I was offered this solution, but what I want to do exists with Reaper… I don’t understand why Steinberg doesn’t offer it on Cubase.
How does reaper do it?
It has to be a good reason for cubase to do what it does, suspect latency.
you can take a look at direct monitoring and doing that from your interface.
I remember when using Cubase for recording I used the UA Apollo system for latency reasons, but I don’t remember if that worked the way you want, but I suspect it did.
Now I use Pro Tools HDX and that do work like you want.
I have a UR22 which does not support direct monitoring, but I also have an MR816x with Direct Monitoring which I have not been able to get to work…
A guitarist friend uses Reaper as I would like to use Cubase :
Monitor button = Record mode time selection auto punch
Record button = Monitor track media when recording.
I know Protools has an excellent reputation for Audio.
I have invested a lot in Steinberg software and hardware for years, I don’t want to change today…
What I mean with how reaper does it, is the technical side of it.
I am interested in knowing why cubase can’t do this (if that’s correct) but Reaper can, without any DSP, hardware monitoring. (if latency is the reason this won’t work in cubase)
looks like the UR22C has some kind of DSP with true monitoring, whatever that means
this might be a limitation of your interface and not cubase, but strange Reaper can do it in software, if not your friend have a interface that is capable
My friend also has a UR22.
I don’t think it’s a latency issue.
I think Steinberg considers that when you take a track for a punch in/out, either you listen to your guitar, or you listen to the contents of the track before the punch in/out, not both at the same time.
I would like someone from Steinberg to explain it to us.
Hi Paco1,
I’m not shure I understood it correctly, but you can certainly monitor yourself full time while hearing the playback you recorded previously. I do it every day and don’t use the monitor button in cubase, once I’m monitoring the incoming signal via the interface.
Latency can be a problem if you have a very slow machine and can’t use direct monitoring.
Take a look in the user guide of your interface and maybe you can find the way it’s supposed to be set.
Regards
Hi Mario,
thank you for your answer.
If I activate monitoring to hear my guitar, I no longer hear what is recorded on this track.
If I don’t activate monitoring, I don’t hear the guitar.
I think that if you don’t enable monitoring and you hear your guitar, it’s your audio interface that’s providing you with the signal.
What audio interface do you use?
Bests regards
Yes, exactly
the input signal is divided. One part of the signal goes to the DAW to be recorded and the other part returns directly to the interface output. That is Direct monitoring.
In this case you can’t use the monitor button in cubase.
I have used different interfaces over the time, but not UR22.
Do you have a Mix knob in the interface?
The mix should control the direct signal vs de Daw signal.
Ok, I see how you work, and it makes sense.
The difficulty is that I use a VST Host before Cubase and not an effects pedalboard. So the mix button on the interface is fully set to DAW. …
But, I found a workaround, with Voicemeter Banana.
I would have preferred a Cubase solution, since other DAWs offer it.
Thank you for your help.
Bests regards
