Configure inputs and outputs​

Open Studio > Audio Connections (F4) and create the input/output buses required for the session. Buses can be mono or stereo, and Cubase/Nuendo Control Room can be used where appropriate. Port/bus names can be edited to reflect connected devices such as Main Monitors or Headphones.

At 44.1/48 kHz with ADAT enabled, iD24 provides two analogue inputs plus eight optical inputs. The available optical channel count reduces at higher sample rates as described in Digital I/O and Clocking.

Buffer size and monitoring​

Choose the ASIO buffer size from the Audient driver/iD controls. Use a lower stable buffer for software monitoring and a higher buffer when CPU load is more important. If monitoring live inputs through the iD Software Mixer, avoid also monitoring those inputs through Cubase/Nuendo unless both paths are deliberately required.

External clock​

Set the clock source in the iD application. Match the project sample rate to the external source and confirm valid lock in the iD System Panel.
