Audio System Settings
Cubase allows you to set the number of audio channels you want to use to in the
program. The maximum number of audio channels is 64 (96 if you are using the
Cubase VST/24 version), but most systems will be restricted to a smaller number,
due to limited processor power, RAM, etc. The settings are made in the System
Setup dialog (reached from the Audio menu) and involves several parameters:
Audio Performance section
• Number of Channels.
Sets the number of audio channels you would like to have access to (4 - 64, or
4 - 96 in VST/24).
• Memory per Channel.
Sets the amount of internal memory assigned to each audio channel. This
value multiplied by the Number of Channels has a direct relation to the
amount of RAM available to the program. The higher the value the lesser the
risk of playback problems. On the other hand, raising this will probably lower
the number of channels you can use at the same time, since the total amount
of RAM in the computer is always limited.
• Disk Block Buffer Size.
Governs the buffer size used in Cubase VST when reading and writing data
from/to the hard disk. The larger value, the smoother and faster performance.
However, each Buffer Size value has a corresponding minimum Memory per
Channel setting. For example, if the Disk Block Buffer Size is 64 kB, the Mem-
ory per Channel cannot be lower than 192 kB.
