hi all, hoping someone can answer this, or give me a better way of working plz. I'm learning as I go here so not sure on all terminology or best practice yet!
OK, I have a Clarett 8prex and Cubase 9. For recording guitar, I have the guitar going through an Eleven Rack. From the 11r I have 2 outs, to record wet and dry signals.
While recording I obviously want to hear the Wet signal, which on the Clarett is Channel 5 - Volume Up on both Clarett and Cubase mixer. I could click the Cubase Monitor button too and hear this with a few plug-ins running (I don't usually though.). So - with the cubase monitor button UNticked, I'm essentially listening to the direct in, right? I can turn the Clarett channel down and what I hear and record will be lower.
Dry Signal - This is Channel 6 on the Clarett. While recording I don't really want to hear this at all, but I do want to record it. But, if i turn Channel 6 down on the Clarett, I don't hear it or record it. So Clarett 6 has to be up as that's the level going into Cubase.? If I mute this track (6) in Cubase I still hear the Direct sound which is controlled by the Clarett. SO, currently my only option to not hear the Dry signal is turn the Clarett channel down, but then I don't record it.
So - how do I mute the Dry Signal (channel 6), but record it?
Kind of related, I think - When recording vocals we like to hear the Cubase monitored track with a few plug-ins running (I've never really been able to do this before getting the Clarett and lower latency). As with the above scenario, I'm assuming, though it's less apparent - that we are listening to both the Direct In and Monitor signals? Should the direct signal also be muted and we just listen to the Monitored signal?
Is this common, is there a better way I should be setting things up? Or is it a simple tick box some where I'm missing (plz be this option....)
I don't think I'm searching for the right thing so can't find any previous articles on this so any help is appreciated!
Thanks very much,
A
