Help with direct monitering

DannyK · Oct 19, 2004, 05:47 PM

Hi there,
How do I set up Kx and Cubase SX 2 so I only hear the monitered signal?
I used to be able to do it (with earlier ver of Kx) but now I can't.

I am using a Soundblaster Audigy Card (Platinum I think)

I used to be able to set up Kx so that I did not hear any signal until I clicked the moniter button in SX.
Then I would hear the signal with whatever VST effect I wanted to put on it in real time.
The only limitation being the latency which I could set very low.
Now I hear two signals.
One is clean and always there and when i click moniter i hear two signals ,the clean signal and the effected signal.
All i want to hear is the effected signal when I click the moniter button!!!!
Can't get rid of the clean signal.

I am only running 2 moniter speakers (left and right) not 4 and subwoofer etc

Help!!

Sorry if this sounds confusing I am very new.
Can anyone help?

Danny try this simple DSP setup guide here:

http://members.home.nl/nahutec/kxtutor/quickkx.htm

this simple setup should work for you and allow to control the "clean" signal volume via the Stereo Mix plugin. Its also good starter for learning DSP.

DSP is daunting at 1st but once you grasp it you can monitor,record,effect or bus any signal you want.

My problem resembles that of Danny. I wanted to monitor my voice through Cubase sx2 inputs (while playing a recorded track)but I could hear only the dry recording( my voice) without the effects I added in Cubase. I used Fx bus for the recorded track and src for MIC in, all being thru MX6 to Epilog. the patching is correct as I can record and hear my voice but I cannot do direct monitor thru Cubase only. Has Danny been able to so according to the guide. Please give me your set up. Any modification?
Thanks to all

[color=yellow]If you want to use "Direct Monitoring Function in Cubase";[/color]

[color=yellow]Just make sure that the signal you want to RECORD is NOT going (wired or mixed) to[/color]
[color=yellow]any OUTPUT in the DSP other then to the ASIO recording inputs...![/color]

[color=yellow]In other words;[/color]
[color=yellow]The signal you want to record goes *only* to the ASIO recording inputs on Epilog or [Asio]![/color]

[color=yellow]That's it.[/color]

[color=yellow]You guys realy have to re-read the DSP/Cubase Guides since this is all[/color]
[color=yellow]a matter of SIGNAL ROUTING in the DSP.[/color]

[color=yellow]PS:[/color]
[color=yellow]Why don't you guys ask these questions in the Cubase Guide thread?[/color]
