Taking my first steps into Cubase and I have numerous questions that the manual doesn’t seem to address. I’m looking at configuring my ‘Studio setup’ and these questions don’t seem to be answered in the manual.
What is ‘HW Pull up/down’? With a UFX connected by USB, an FF800 by firewire and running at 48KHz do I need it?
What is ‘ASIO-Guard’?
On a M1 Ultra Studio with 128 Gb RAM should I activate ‘Multi processing’ or leave that for the OS to take care of?
Hi, and welcome.
All you want to know is already answered on manual and forum.
Please use the search function on both.

Manual, page 1392:
The ASIO-Guard allows you to shift as much processing as possible from the ASIO real time path to the ASIO-Guard processing path. This results in a more stable system.
The ASIO-Guard allows you to preprocess all channels as well as VST instruments that do not need to be calculated in real time. This leads to fewer dropouts, the capacity to process more tracks or plug-ins, and the ability to use smaller buffer sizes.

Manual, page 1449:
Activate Multi Processing
Allows you to distribute the processing load evenly to all available CPUs. This way, Cubase can make full use of the combined power of multiple processors.
M1 is a 20-core CPU, so Yes.
Thanks for the answers. I was under the impression that the manual was linear unless it put cross references in. Another small point learnt
