If you use an external clock source, Cubase must be notified that it receives external clock signals and derives its speed from that source.
Procedure
- Select .
- In the Devices list, select your audio hardware driver.
- Activate Externally Clocked.
Result
Cubase now derives its speed from the external source.
Note
For proper audio playback and recording, you must set the sample rate of the project to the sample rate of the incoming clock signals.
When a sample rate mismatch occurs, the Record Format field on the Project window status line is highlighted in a different color. Cubase accepts a sample rate mismatch, and playback is therefore faster or slower.
