Ever wanted to use a VST
mastering plug-in or suite but decided that the
routing would be too hard or impossible? No?
Well, here is a way to do it in any case. And
its called the 'double loopback'.
Yes, its possible to simply
insert a mastering plug-in into your Cubase mixdown
track, but how do you hear its effect if your
monitoring is all done in Scope?
We need a way to route
that signal back into Scope for monitoring, then
back into Cubase for final mixdown.
The method explained here
is one way to achieve these goals and there may be
others as well. However, this method enables
monitoring and adjustment at every stage and follows
a logical path, so worthwhile documenting.
Its worth noting, that my
ULLI setting on Scope is at its highest, but even
with the double loopback engaged, the latency was
hardly (just) noticeable. For this reason, it
may be best to disengage the double loopback whilst
tracking, and hook it up just for mixdown /
mastering. |
