How to Sync Cubase With Acid 7

Cubase and Acid are audio applications, developed by Steinberg and Sony respectively, that allow users to record, edit and produce audio recordings and MIDI data. ReWire is a protocol developed by Propellerheads that allows two compatible audio applications to be synced together. One program is a dedicated host and the other functions as a slave to the host. ReWire allows users to sync Sony Acid to Cubase and use the two programs together, because they are both ReWire compatible.

Instructions

    • 1

      Decide whether Cubase or Acid will be the host program, and open the program. Choose any desired project.

    • 2

      Open a ReWire channel for the programs to communicate. If Cubase is the host, click the "Devices" menu at the top of the screen, and on the "Sony Acid" ReWire device. Enable channels for Acid by clicking the blue button to the left of the channel name at the pop-up menu. If Sony Acid is the host, click on "View" at the top of the screen and select "Plug-in Manager." Click "Cubase" from the menu and right-click a listed output. Select "Insert ReWire Device Bus."
