Control RoomThe 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 VSTConnections 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 sectionin Nuendo 3.2. If you are familiar with Nuendo, you already know aboutthis powerful feature. Please check out all the details in our separatedocumentation.Major Score Editor EnhancementsThe score editor in Cubase 4 has seen a major redesign, including many usability and workflow improvements as well as new features. Composers don!t despair! None of the existing functions have been lost. All functions from previous versions are still available, albeit in different places. Here!s just a brief overview:• The Score menu is now slimmer and better organized. Some functions are now available via dedicated context menus and therefore easier to use• The symbol palettes have their own "inspector” which is organized in tabs similar to the track inspector • Several dialogs have been combined into a single "main” score settings dialog• The Drum settings are now part of the main Drum Map Setup • Cubase 4 now offers two additional high-quality score fonts:"Jazz” and "Classical”. The original Cubase font is now available as "Legacy” font.New Plug-in Set VST3Cubase 4 not only includes a completely new set of audio effect plugins, it also marks the next step in VST plug-in technology! VST3 offers major new features both for plug-in developers and users. VST3 plugins can adjust their number of audio busses to the channel they!re inserted to (mono, stereo, 5.1, etc.). A silence detection function makessure that a plug-in only processes audio when there!s actually a signal present. This helps to reduce overall CPU load. VST3 plug-ins natively support Mac Intel computers. For developers there are many more features under the hood.In Cubase 4, there are more than 30 all-new audio plug-ins. In addition, some of the previous plug-ins have been reworked and updated for this version, pushing the total number of plug-ins to 66! The original SX3 plug-ins will still be available to update customers. New customers may install these plug-ins as a "Legacy” set for project compatibility. 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.New Virtual InstrumentsCubase 4 ...
