Stream Cubase and Nuendo to your iPhone

Try it on the Stereo Out

1. 01

   Install the VST3

   Run the free MixOutpost installer and make sure the VST3 is selected. It installs for all users in the standard VST3 location. Rescan or restart Cubase so it appears in the plugin list.

2. 02

   Insert it last on the output

   On the Stereo Out (the main output channel in the MixConsole), add MixOutpost to the last insert slot, after your limiter. Where inserts are split into pre- and post-fader slots, a post-fader slot matches what your monitors hear, output fader included.

3. 03

   Start Sharing and pair

   Open the plugin, press Start Sharing, and scan the QR code with the MixOutpost app or the iPhone Camera. One pairing covers every instance and the Mac app on that Mac.

4. 04

   Play and tap Listen

   Start playback. If audio arrives on the phone, you've just confirmed it in Cubase. Let us know.

What to tell us

If you're testing in Cubase or Nuendo, these details help most:

• Cubase or Nuendo version, and your Mac (Apple Silicon or Intel).
• Whether MixOutpost shows up after the plugin scan, and whether its window opens.
• Whether the phone finds the Mac, and whether audio plays after Start Sharing.
• The session sample rate and whether the phone's connection info reports bit-exact at 48 kHz.

Tips for Cubase and Nuendo users

• Control Room: if you use Control Room, put MixOutpost on the Stereo Out, not the Control Room path, so the phone hears the mix rather than your monitoring chain.
• Exports are safe: the plugin passes audio through unchanged and skips offline exports, so an Audio Mixdown isn't affected and doesn't flood the phone.
• Post delivery: for Nuendo work, the phone's loudness screen includes EBU R128, ATSC A/85 and Netflix targets, with a note about dialogue gating.
• Client in the room: up to eight phones can listen at once, each with its own volume. See multiple listeners.

Sample rate and quality

The stream to the phone is 48 kHz, which is also a common project rate in Nuendo post work. At 48 kHz the phone gets a bit-exact copy of the Stereo Out; at 44.1, 88.2 or 96 kHz the phone gets a high-quality conversion to 48 kHz. The plugin never changes what Cubase outputs. Only paired phones can listen, and audio is encrypted with TLS 1.3.

What you can check from the phone

Once the mix is on the phone, listen in mono or to the side channel, read integrated loudness and true peak, try the diagnostic EQ, and record a WAV to the phone. For stereo music the streaming targets are there too, such as Spotify and Apple Music.
