Setting up Cubase from scratch for Montage multi-channel recording

In the previous video, we looked at multi-channel recording with Logic, Cubase and Live, but in the case of Cubase we used a project template that comes with Cubase AI.
This video walks you through the steps to get multi-channel recording up and running when you don't have the handy template available.
Don't forget that Quick Setup 3 (Audio Rec on DAW) only switches the current performance to multi-channel audio. If you switch to another performance, you need to run it again!

Thanks Kier. I have spent hours trying to figure this out using my Focusrite audio interface with Cubase on a Mac and you’ve solved the problem for me in a very straightforward easy to understand way. Brilliant! Thanks, Stewart

That's great to hear, thanks for letting me know Stewart!

I can't find how or if it is possible to play the DAW (softsynth) sounds/tracks with my parts. Means, I have me comfortable splits with parts, and want to play according sounds in the DAW. Seems, noone wants that, needs that... so can't find instructions.
