Hi Rob,
VST Connect Pro and SE can be found in the subfolder “network” in the insert plug-in list.
You can access the manual of VST Connect by clicking on the small “?” in the bottom right corner of the application.
This is the how VST Connect needs to be set up as described in the manual:
Setting up the Recording in Cubase
First you must set up a standard studio recording situation in Cubase/Nuendo. Refer to the Cubase/Nuendo Operation Manual for details. In this section, we mention only the steps required for setting up VST Connect Pro in Cubase/Nuendo.
PROCEDURE
1.Create a new input bus and name it TB/Performer.
2.Connect your studio talkback microphone to this input bus.
The TB/Performer input bus serves two purposes: it supplies the engineer’s talkback signals to the performer, and receives the performer’s signal for recording.
3.Create an audio track and name it Performer Rec.
4.Select the TB/Performer bus as the input source for this track.
5.Make sure that monitoring is set to Manual mode.
6.Record-enable the new track, but do not enable monitoring for it.
7.Create another audio track and name it Performer Mon.
8.Select the TB/Performer bus as the input source for this track.
9.Enable monitoring for this track, but don not record-enable it.
10.Create a group channel track and name it To Performer.
This is the cue mix to be sent to the performer. You would normally route this to an audio output connected to the studio headphones, but leave it on the main output for now.
Setting up the VST Connect CUE Mix Plug-in
11.In Cubase/Nuendo, set up the tracks to which you want the performer to perform. Route the sends on these tracks to the To Performer track.
12.Route the sends from the Performer Rec track – not the Performer Mon track – to the To Performer group track.
This allows the performer to listen to the recording.
RESULT
The engineer can now hear the performer via the Performer Mon channel, punch
in and out, and modify the cue mix and any other settings in the usual way.
NOTE
You can set up as many audio channels to record on as you require.
Setting up the VST Connect CUE Mix Plug-in
PROCEDURE
1.Insert the VST Connect CUE Mix plug-in on the To Performer track.
2.Lower the volume of this track to zero, but do not mute it.
RESULT
The VST Connect CUE Mix plug-in sends the cue mix stream to the performer.
Setting up the VST Connect Pro Plug-in
PROCEDURE
1.Insert the VST Connect Pro plug-in in the TB/Performer input channel.
The plug-in interface opens.
2.Enter a name in the User Name field in the top right, and click Log In.
RESULT
The name of the Log In button changes to Log Out. The name of the User Name
field changes to Key. The Key field shows a code made up of two blocks of
numbers, separated by a space.
Setting up VST Connect Performer
VST Connect Performer is used on the side of the performer to be recorded.
PROCEDURE
1.Download VST Connect Performer from the Steinberg web site.
2.Install the VST Connect Performer application on the performer’s computer and launch it. Do not start Cubase/Nuendo or other audio applications.
3.In the VST Connect Performer window, enter a name in the Your Name field.
