In the Audio Signal Flow chart above, you can see that "PART", the "A/D In" and the "Digital In" (USB) are being routed (using the Output Select parameter) set to "Main L&R" and are being 'bused' to the "Main L&R (USB Out)" (to your DAW - Cubase). One or more passengers (signals) can be assigned to ride any bus we choose, on the way to the designated destination. For now, let’s just deal with the factory defaults – later you can customize the QUICK SETUPs to reflect your own workflow.Īn audio "bus" simply is a means to transport signal from one place to another along a specific route. Note: As with any Template it is ‘general’, you must know if it fits what you want to accomplish. It will allow us to send audio on any of MODX's audio buses (Main L/R or any of the 8 assignable) to the computer. What we'll learn here will prepare you to make these assignments as your project requires. Be prepared to make changes to this as you go. This Template is specifically designed to route Parts of the current Performance to specific audio Output buses. When the Track is actually placed in RECORD, the Monitor Speaker will be automatically activated. This is helpful, during level setting and run-throughs before recording begins. The Monitor Speaker icon is there so that you do not have actually place the transport into record in order to hear it. In order to hear the MODX in a situation where DIRECT MONITOR is OFF, you must be connected to an active audio track with the Monitor Speaker icon selected (shown). In Cubase, the Track has a red Record Ready button, and a tan Monitor speaker button. Expect to hear the MODX only after you have your Cubase routing complete - that is, the signal is routed to an active Audio Track with the Track's Monitor Switch set to ON: The Quick Setup #3 template turns DIRECT MONITOR = OFF. What you need to take from this is the following: If DIRECT MONITOR is active - and you are monitoring through the computer - that would be where doubling occurs. Audio must then be ‘returned’ to the MODX, acting as audio interface, in order to reach the Analog Outs. This means the only path for audio to travel is through the USB Out connection to the computer. But when recording on the computer, the default condition is to turn this Direct Monitoring OFF. When it is ON, you hear yourself playing the MODX through the Main L&R (Analog Outputs) - Basically, the sound of the MODX will travel its normal path to your speakers. “Direct Monitor”, as we’ll see, determines whether or not, the MODX audio signal travels directly to the analog L&R outputs. This will set the DIRECT MONITOR SWITCH to OFF. In this "signal flow" tutorial we will route audio to Cubase from a MODX PERFORMANCE (simple basic) and we will use it to record a stereo audio track to Cubase. This way you can see, learn, and understand how the signal is being routed. We will keep this first tutorial very basic.
