Make sure that the Record Enable button is on 
(red) for the recording destination audio track in 
Cubase. If it is off, press the [REC READY] switch 
in the DAW Remote Control section to turn on the 
Record Enable button.
The REC bus signals will be sent to the 
corresponding audio track. If you want to record the 
signals without any VST effect being applied, 
proceed to Step 10.
■ Setting the Monitor Remote 
function
If you wish to monitor the REC bus signals processed 
by a VST effect, follow steps 6 to 9 below.

Make settings in Cubase to insert the VST effect 
on the input bus or audio track.
7.
Turn the MONITOR REMOTE [ON] switch on (the 
switch LED lights up).
The Monitor Remote function is activated.
8.
Turn the MONITOR REMOTE [REC BUS WET] 
switch on (the switch LED lights up).
Turning the MONITOR REMOTE [REC BUS WET] 
switch on turns the Cubase monitoring button on as 
well. When the both switches are on, you can 
monitor the signal with the VST effect applied (the 
“wet” sound).
9.
Turn the DAW TO ST [ON] switch on (
).
While the Record Enable button and monitoring button 
are turned on, the REC bus monitoring signal will be 
returned to the n8/n12 via the Cubase mixer. When you 
turn the DAW TO ST [ON] switch on, the monitoring 
signal returned from Cubase will be routed to the 
STEREO buses, enabling you to monitor the signal.
■ Recording
10.
Press the [REC] switch to start recording.
11.
Play the instruments.
12.
When you finish playing the instruments, press 
the [

To review the recorded result, press the [
switch or [
] switch to return to the beginning 
of the project, then press the [
] switch.
If you wish to turn on the Record Enable button for 
multiple tracks by using the [REC READY] switch, 
make the following settings in Cubase.
(1)  Open the [Preferences] dialog box by selecting 
[File] 
→ [Preferences] (for Windows), or by 
selecting [Cubase]

button
While you are using the Monitor Remote function, the 
input channel signals being sent to the REC buses 
will temporarily be disconnected from the STEREO 
bus so that they will not be doubled in the monitor 
sound; this allows you to monitor the signal that is 
being routed through Cubase. While the Monitor 
Remote function is active, the corresponding input 
channel’s [ST] switches flash. If you deactivate the 
Monitor Remote function, the [ST] switches stop 
flashing. 
To activate the Monitor Remote function, first turn the 
Record Enable buttons on, then turn the MONITOR 
REMOTE [ON] switch and [REC BUS WET] switch 
on.

• Processing the signals via the VST or other 
effects may cause latency in the monitoring 
signal.
• While the Monitor Remote function is active, 
the effect signals will be directly routed to the 
AUX output. Therefore, the [AUX] control for 
the corresponding input channels will be 
disabled. If you wish to adjust the monitoring 
balance between the instruments, adjust the 
level in Cubase.
