Product Facts
Control Room
The mixer in Cubase 4 has been expanded with a powerful Control
Room section. You!re now able to connect multiple sets of control room
monitors and external sources (CD, DVD, DAT, iPod) directly to your
audio hardware and switch between them from a convenient Control
Room panel. All connections are defined under a new tab in the VST
Connections window. The Control Room section also offers a talkback
channel, independent headphone channels, and the ability to create up
to four studio mixes (monitor mixes). Therefore, each mixer channel
now offers a separate studio send section for controlling those mixes.
The Control Room section in Cubase 4 is identical to the same section
in Nuendo 3.2. If you are familiar with Nuendo, you already know about
this powerful feature. Please check out all the details in our separate
documentation.
The Drum settings are now part of the main Drum Map Setup

One of the highlights of this new plug-in set is a powerful new state-ofthe-art 4-band parametric Equalizer, which is also available within the
newly enhanced channel EQ. Other highlights include a Vintage
Compressor, Studio Chorus, a new Multiband Compressor, a voicedoubler called Cloner, and a great-sounding modeling guitar amplifier
with speaker cabinet simulation.
A feature not related to VST3 but to Cubase 4!s mixer: effects can now
be re-arranged using drag & drop. This works both within a single
channel, as well as between channels.
Instrument Tracks
Cubase 4 introduces a new track type: Instrument Track. An
Instrument Track provides a fast and convenient way to use virtual
instruments. As a quick alternative to the VSTi Rack, Instrument
Tracks provide a single MIDI Input and a single stereo Output within a
single channel/track. Setting up a VST Instrument and getting ready to
play is now just one step away. As a limitation, Instruments in an
Instrument Track only provide a single MIDI Input and one Stereo
Output. Multitimbral VSTi!s and Instruments with multiple outputs may
also be used in an Instrument Track, but they will automatically be
restricted to one MIDI channel and one stereo output. Of course, the
VSTi Rack can still be used in the familiar way.

Track Presets
One of the most powerful new features in Cubase 4 is Track Presets
especially when they!re combined with the new MediaBay. Track
Presets are presets for complete track/channel settings. They are
available for audio, MIDI, and Instrument tracks. Combinations of
tracks can also be saved as Multi-Track Preset. Most track and mixer
setting are stored, as well as Instrument/Preset information for an
Instrument Track, or MIDI Port/Channel/Patch information for a MIDI
track. Also included are all insert effect settings as well as EQ.
Track Presets can be saved with attributes like
Category/Style/Character etc. This opens up a whole new dimension in
sound management.

Channel EQ
This new EQ and the new StudioEQ plugin represent a major advancement in
sound quality. Instead of the previous
analytic EQ, this new EQ is a creative
tool, which adds character and depth to any
sound and it!s fully backward compatible.
