Allen & Heath 2 ZED-R16 Cubase setup guide - Issue 2

Configuring Steinberg Cubase with ZED-R16

 Select ‘ASIO Allen and Heath Firewire’, scroll the window and check that all driver inputs and outputs are enabled

(Visible). Their State will become Active once they are assigned to a VST bus in Cubase. Then click ‘OK’.

 If you are not familiar with Cubase, you may use the ‘ZED-R16 Cubase template’ as a starting point and skip to

the ’MIDI control’ section (page 5). Open the template project. Please note MIDI settings are stored in the host

application, not in the project. Follow the instructions in the next sections to setup MIDI control.

 To start from a blank project, click ‘File/New’. Select ‘Empty’ in the Project Assistant ‘More’ tab, choose your project

location and click ‘Create’.

ZED-R16 Cubase template

 The project has 24 mono tracks sourced from the ZED-R Mono Input Channels and

ADAT Port 1, and a stereo track sourced from the ZED-R Main LR.

 All tracks are routed to a Group bus in Cubase - this is patched to Output 17 & 18. Use

ZED-R16 ‘Digital Master to LR’ button and ‘Digital Master Input’ rotary control to monitor

the DAW bus when mixing ‘in the box’.

 All tracks are also routed to the corresponding ZED-R channel via a pre-fader Send at

unity gain. Enable the Digital Return on the ZED-R Input Channels and arm the Main LR

track to record the analogue mixdown out of the desk.

 VST connections are renamed according to the corresponding ZED-R channels.
