How to Use the Link Channels Feature | Cubase Advance Features

Cubase


The Link Channels feature in Cubase is a great time saver, enabling you to add inserts or change settings for multiple channels in the MixConsole, rather than individually. You can choose which parameters to link, while using a VCA fader allows you to adjust the overall volume of the linked channels, but still adjust each individually. Quick link groups is an even faster way of letting you make small changes to multiple channels. Linking channels is yet another facility for quickly and easily controlling your mix in Cubase.
