Place IK Multimedia's AmpliTube onto a Steinberg Cubase audio track by assigning it as an insert effect. AmpliTube is a VST(Virtual Studio Technology) plug-in that emulates an assortment of guitar amplifiers, effects processors, and other mastering tools in a virtual studio environment, replacing the need for the hardware devices themselves. Mix between AmpliTube's effect units, pre-amps, speaker cabinets, studio microphones, and post amp rack-mount effects in your Cubase project in under ten minutes of setup.
