I switched from another DAW two years ago, since I tried Cubase, I will never go back! And from people like you, we can really understand the cabability of Cubase! I Love Cubase and your channel! 🙏

Hi Dom, your channel is a must for anyone using cubase, brilliant, I’m just entering into the world of outboards with daw, great explanation, thx for your work my man.

I'm looking forward to this video. Can you soon do one about integrating external instruments, please? :-)

Thanks for this Dom, I totally always bussed to a group track, but now render in place is so much better to keep tracks organized, thank you!

All I have in my external chain is a Moog delay, but I use it all the time. I can clock it and automate it directly from Cubase (it's the 104M), love how convenient that is. Hardware with midi control is just like plugins, minus interface.

“Saturation = Good!” -Well said🤙🏼

Hi Dom! I have been listening to your music creations on Spotify. You have a great sense of balance so that all sounds can be heard clearly, which I think is missing in so much music today. I do have a suggestion, which of course is only my preference. In "Behind the Wall" I feel that Delido's voice should have a little less reverb and the volume should be slightly higher so she is brought forward in the mix. Her role is of more importance then everything else to some extent. The same in "Cosmic Parenthesis", as well as the guitar solo. Be well!

I have had the same experience as Alexandru, below. However, the reason I think Cubase has “stuck” for me is Dom and Chris Selim’s tutorials. Once I saw their stuff, a light switch just went on and I decided I wasn’t going to be intimidated by the software anymore. Dom, there’s something about hour delivery that makes it feel like no big deal and fun! That’s what made the difference for me. And as a reward I get to use Supervision and all the other cool stuff that I used to pine for while sticking with another DAW.

Very glad you made this video Dom! I also run a UFX and thought i was doing something wrong because I also return 0 when doing a latency compensation test. Cheers to you my friend!

Mannnn I had to play that pushed analog gear kick back a few times - sounded lovely

I have 2 Aphex Aural Exciters, BBE Maximizer 482i, 2 Yamaha Rev 100's, Eventide FL-201 Instant Flanger, and Behringer Ultradyne 9024 and a Boss RV-70. Gear from the '80's... Still working great! Thanks Dom!

Love your channel Dom, superlative!! You're a star!!! I use a Warm WA76 through a neve 1073 pre/EQ via a send/return into an RME UFX+ and its output running to a soundcraft EPM12 analogue mixer. For an alternative mic input, I run through an ART PRO MPA II (AX12 valve change), into a Warm EQP-WA tube EQ out into the RME. Mics are TLM103, NTA1A, AKGP420, Stellar X2 (TZ Audio), SM57 & 58s. Headphones AKG Perfection, Effects are TC Helicon Voicelive Rack and a UAD Quad TB3 Satellite (I use the Lexicon480L reverb plugin on that, nothing else comes close in my relative opinion ofcourse). Running Cubase 10.5 Pro controlled via a Presonus Faderport 16, into a scan (flight case compatible 4U) computer, i9 10-core 32Gb Ram with an EditorsKeys slimline backlit keyboard specifically for Cubase. Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol M32 keyboard controller, KRK Rockit 5s, although I mainly mix through the headphones. Misc software I mainly use Trigger 2 for drums and Scalar 2 for gathering ideas generally. However, nothing compared to your sensational crazy cool setup!!!!!

thanks Dom! Did this with my Boss Digital Delay DE200 and my Autocom MDX1200 which works great as a noise gate for my '76 Strat! The BBE882i too, is on my MR816csx. The Favorites feature for External FX is cool to save settings.

Thanks for the video - I’m using SSL Fusion, WA EQP, KT EQP and WA Bus Comp with Cubase 11pro. I also switched to the much more flexible soundcard RME Fireface 802 so I’m done with UR44 - this was the best decision I’ve ever made.

Hi Dom, you rock! This channel is priceless to Cubase users.... but also old studio owners like myself. Suggestion: Monitors! Setting them up properly, staging them for mixing vs. mastering, etc.

Thank it works well. For my part, it doesn’t create any loop on the antelope Orion gen 4. So happy ! Thank you

Thanks for this tutorial, very clear! I wish for a future update they could add a wet/dry mix knob for the return - helpful for if you want to add an external effects unit as an insert rather than send, but dial the mix to taste. Fingers crossed for Cubase13!

For the time being I'm 100% in the box. But you never can tell. 😍 Great Dom, thanks ever so much!

Love your videos m8. It would be great if you could do a video about how you get the great width in your music. (is it a bit more than LCR maybe? :D ) Stay safe!

This was soo helpful . More of this and how to route with cabels also 👍👍🤘🤘

解决了困扰我多年的totalmix的设置问题，谢谢Dom!

as far as I understand the audio_interface out --> in latency is automatically compensated !!! that's cool !!!

This is by far the best video I've seen on this subject. Thank you!

This is a super video. This has always been a mystery to me. I need a lot of hand holding. thank you so so much!!

Congratulations, Dom! On the release!!!

Hi Dom, thanks, cubase is the easiest and the most flexible daw when it comes to use my external API, BAE & RND hardware.

I switched from Digital Performer to Cubase Pro this year . I prefer Cubase’ s far more intuitive handling of external MIDI Instruments and external effects. I have all my outboard (Lexicon PCM81 & 91 , TC Reverb 4000, Bricasti System One and Drawmer Masterflow 2476) connected via AES to a MOTU 112D and it works flawlessly.

I'm using this with my Neve Shelford Channel. Works perfectly!

well well well this looks like a dream BUT the 0 ms delay displayed is often WRONG !!! Cubase is just unable to ping correctly. I did the test with cubase 10 and my fireface ucx : it s obvious when you play the others tracks with the one where you did the hardware insert there s a big problem (and in this video you just hear the track alone.....) !!! I was a huge fan of cubase over 20 years. I was fed up with this problem which is a BIG ONE and recently tried on REAPER ; what a surprised, in the same configuration the ping is well done and delay compensated. At this occasion i discovered REAPER , and was so sad to haven t discovered it earlier....

Thank you, Dom for your video and congratulations for the new super AMAZING dancing song! You're fantastic composer! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Man your tutorials are just amazing! Just subscribed your channel! 🙏

I have a DBX166, 2x 1176 Compressors (clones) and a ART Pro Vla II tube compressor hooked up to my AXR4 + ADAT. I also have a Nord Rack 2x Synth and KORG minilogue xd on the way :). The simple way to get those hardware boxes into Cubase is a breeze. I love it.

Hey Dom, thank you for this tip..!! Congratulation, your videos have an amazing quality..

Thanks Dom. Great video. Gosh! I just could not get this working with my hardware unit. Using a Focusrite Clarett 8Pre into Cubase 12 Pro. I've missed something somewhere.

You’re amazing!!!

Thanks for the video! I got an API Channel Strip as my first piece of outboard gear, but my Scarlett 2i2 doesn't have the I/O to accommodate inserts. Looks like I'll be upgrading soon!

Cant' wait to try this. Thx Dom!

Nice video but you brushed over the delay ping because your Black Box didn't need it. You should have at least described what the purpose of that feature is used for. Other than that, great video.

Regarding the return gain: as far as I understand, it only reduces the gain inside cubase, like a simple gain plugin, doesn’t it? If the signal from your external processor is too hot, you still might need to reduce the input level of your audio interface to prevent possible clipping of the inputs.

Thanks for the video!

Thanks again so very good, awesome even!😄

Simple and master peace technique 🔥🔥🔥💪

Cool,I can set up Ableton Live as an effect.

Can you please do a video for External actual synths, drum machines etc, because there is no way to ping for the delay like we can on effects module, I noticed you have all your keyboards connected, how do you ping them so that cubase adjusts for the latency, if you have a full studio with lot of keyboards etc, each instruments is going to have different latency when using Midi, no one has done video about this in Cubase, you can do it in Bitwig very easily.

clear explanation ...thanx

I would be surprised if people based on this video gets it going since things can be quite complicated in the control panel of the Interface in order to get it up and running. Dom since you are using RME. Can you show us how to set it up in the interface`? Thanks for great videos

I would like to see more about the steinberg audio interface you are using there is not much on youtube about it and I am considering getting it because of the specs and the silk integration.

Hi King of Cubase, I have two questions: Should I put my hardware delay 100% wet like in a Send FX with a plug in ? What if I want to send only a guitare (mono) and have a return stereo from my hardware delay ? Does Cubase send it only through the Left RCA output from my audio interface ? I hope my english isn't too bad too understand what I mean And thank you a lot for your work

A fantastic tutorial, thank you!

Behind The Wall single is amazing SUPERRRR!!!!!! Dom Who is the performer of this song?

I have a apollo twin X can i do that using. A patch bay?

another great video Dom! Can i ask what the controller is on the left hand side of your computer keyboard?

Hi Dom, How do you get your render in place real-time export to have audio? Mine is muted (same when I try track export). Which limites me when I want to process through external FX and tweak them in real time to the music. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Oh man thank you!!!!

What if we want to do it with our primary mic analog preamp? Also, do you think that it would be a bad idea to do this with a preamp? I was asking about this to some people in different groups online, and they thought I was insane because I wanted to be able to choose between analog and VST plugins for the Mic.

Hi Dom, huge fan of your channel! I have a question if you don't mind: I recently switched to a Mac Studio M2, and since then all my routing and external fx dont't work. ie: my Warm Audio bus comp receives signal from the DAW (the meter's needle moves) but can't route that signal back into cubase. The audio INs that should loop back to cubase don't work, I tried the same configuration and routing back to my old mac pro, and they work! I'm using Apogee Quartet + Clarett+8Pre in tandem as aggregate device, both cards with additional ADAT ins and outs from ASP880 units. I've been trying everything for 3 days now, if you or anyone reading this has suggestions....please help! :)

Could make a video of the best free plugins. Please

Thanks

Hey Dom, thanks for the instructions. I'm having a hard time here - I've followed all your directions. I cannot hear audio when the plugin is engaged. I thought maybe this could be many things in the chain but, I am seeing audio coming in, on 3/4 on my Universal audio (UI for the interface) for my Presonus Interface. What do you think could possibly be the issue?

In Cubase I have a volt 76 an a 7721 vca comp it only playing out of one speaker when I export it over can you help me with this

Thank you for this informative video :) I have one question: If I have very much gain on the outboard output, then it would overload my converters in the interface right? And how can the return gain help, because i thought that this comes after the converters? So when i adjust that, it doesn't make the overloading unhappen?

Hi Dom! Is it possible to add internal plugins after the external plugin chain? For example, could you put a regular plugin after the Black Box Analogue plugin and how would that work? Thanks

Hi Dom, Is this the only way? Just to be clear in my head, Do you have to add it as a insert or send? Thanks a million.

I have still not found a video teaching me how to even start doing these things.

hey dom, thanks for this great video!! I have one question: is it normal that my DSP display increases significantly when I load the external plugin as an insert? Thanks and Regards

I don't understand how you could have NO delay to compensate for. Isn't some small amount of delay inescapable when using an outboard effect?

Thanks!!

Hay Dom love your videos man I recently upgraded from Cubase 5 to Cubase 11, absolutely loving 11. I have a question, I own an MPC One and Komplete Kontrol S49 MK 2 as my controller/ digital instrument, so the question is, when I open Cubase 11 and then open up the MPC 64 bit software within as an instrument It won't let me record the sample i chopped on the mpc to cubase i know im missing a trick somewhere any help would be greatly appreciated. One Love from Ireland

Dear Dom, I found out that my UR 44 which I love, has reserved two of the 6 sendbus as FX Bus (UR FX Bus L and UR FX Bus R) . I need these channels to connect a pair of speakers and wanted to use then the outputs 1 and 2 from UR44, but I can’t change the FX into a normal sendbus. How can I do this? Please answer me , maybe this will be also interesting for other RR 44 users. Thank you Jerryl

great! I use different external gears but actually I need to use BOSS RC-202 Loop Station as external gear in Cubase 10.5 to loop some of my VST instruments parts I play with midi controller. Is it the same settings u've shown in this video also for this type of gear, the Boss Rc202? Thanks a lot for your videos! cheers

Hello Dom. Thank you for the video , I have the same audio interface... :). I own the Fireface UFX too, a powerful tool, the only thing that I change of this is the power supply that is Brocken after 9 years. I wanna ask you please about the external unites that are you using for the mastering chain. Thank you

Is it possible to set up a comfort reverb on an external unit but not print the reverb?

Great video thx; can this also be done in Cubase Elements?

How youdo you have sound when you rendering in place? Do you use control room? Is it possible to have sound at rendering in place without control room? i think i had it but suddenly

Could you compare the MR816csx Channel Strip Morphing with the BBE882i Sonic Maximizer? Are they both a compressor and EQ combination. Why does the Channel Strip sound so good? Thanks!

Is this the same process if you want to setup eurorack effects as send/return? For some reason I thought I would be in the send/return columns instead of a plugin.

I think I learn more from your channel than from any other source (esp Cubase, Montage topics). Thank you Dom.

I have one issue with Cubase. I can open the vst effect but its not working. Can you help me with this?

Please am using presonus 16.0.2 mixer,and I want to be using it to mix on cubase

How would be your send return settings for an external bus compressor?

Am I right in thinking that you master in Cubase instead of Wavelab? Mulling Cubase currently as a Reaper user.

Thanks Dom. Quick question.... do you lose any of the analogue sound from your external effect by the fact that you have to convert the audio back to digital to bring it back into Cubase? Thanks.

I'm trying to record my midi instrument in my midi guitar, but only can play the strings D, G, B and E. Why? I want to play the whole chords in the guitar.

I only has two columns in the connection setting. Input and output. Is it different in cubase 11 ?

Hi I've setup external FX in cubase 11. I do see audio is coming in on my hardware but no sound in cubase. I use saffire sound card. I also do this in logic and that's working fine. Can't find what the problem is in cubase. Is it the sound card setup?

Hi Dom, im using ur816c and preamp heritage ha73 eq, but when i connect In, Out to enternal fx, the signal is so bad, its look like the micro opposite to speaker, im testing on ur rt4 too, but not working, pls help me, thanks.

andro here from Sydney Australia, I was wondering if you might be able to help me, I have loaded a session from another user on Cubase 12 still here And I’ve lost settings I’ve customized in my set up One which is a big deal I use a lot of external hardware 64 in 64 out with external effects compressors, EQs etc I lost all the connections It’s such a pain to have to do this again simply because I am loading a project not done on my main machine Now I’m really worried to load someone’s material in the fear of losing settings.. the worst part is you can’t save it as a preset in the connections for external effects Is there a work around or something in the settings so that if I load something it won’t load anything but the project ? Thanks a lot

When using hardware as inserts does it capture and process it during exporting ? Or its better to capture and print back into the DAW?

Hi Dom, is it possible that these external effects then spikes my permormance meter in cubase?

Wait, how did you get rid of all your latency?? If you explained in the video, let me know.

Can i send a mono signal into a spx 90 and print the stereo fx ? The spx has stereo outs but i cant print it in stereo

Thanks for sharing! One question, when I use the send return fader in the external fx plug it seems to be global. Because when i start a new session with the external plugin, cubase shows me the exact same send return value from the session before. Totally useless for me. Any Idea?

i am having a problem with latency on the return dont know whats going on im following you step by step but still having latency ...i have a motu 8 pre es and an apollo twin and its doing it with both please help ...i bought all thios analog gear and hate to just stay in the box ...please help

Bro can you please help? I am trying to use mono insert with hardware compressor and eq in pro tools with my lynx hilo, is this not possible ? Not in pro tools nor in cubase? I bought the hilo because i read that it has two inputs and two outputs available that work independantly. Please help

is there a difference (like more simple) to use an effect track with the external processing - like in the gred ondo video?

Hello Dom! How are you? :) What do you expect from Cubase 11 and what new features would you like to see? Take care of yourself! :)

OMG dude your screaming at the beginning over my recording studio speakers I thought I was going to shit the chair.

Quick question, So lets say I have guitar pedal (ocean Machine by Moog) and want to use it on a plug in such as U-He Diva to get big synth sounds. Do I have to fiddle around with the latency compensation or does Cubase does it for me? Amazing videos by the way, definitely subscribed!

One Question: I have a section called: Stereo effect Loop. There is just one send and one return. Doi need a Y-plug? My Audio Interface has Mono ins and outs its the"Focusrite Lquid Saffire 56" i hope somone can help me.

how to mimic this in elements version or even artist version ? :/
