if you activate the input in cubase it will be available as a audio channel in the mixer, where you can put fx on it; the procedure differs slightly in cubase 5 vs. SX
So this should enable me to hear the vst effect on a input before its been recorded? I want to beable to use cubase as a realtime effects processor on any given input without haveing to first recording it to wave on a track?
As has been said before it is !!
Direct monitoring simply means that you monitor the input, rather then the audio channel as processed in cubase. So you have to turn this off as The Agent says.
Have you tried this already? Did you experience problems? (what version of Cubase are you using?)
