With Cubase the interface handling is automatic but what is sent to it is the selected output software bus which has the option of inserting a plug-in. If no dither plug is inserted the software does its own form of downscaling. Like ProTools, Cubase has a hardware bus matrix that allows the creation of named and numbered inputs annd outputs selectable from within the DAW.
For file export you can select any or all available tracks from the audio mixer whether a single track, multiple tracks, group bus or main outs.
There are external effects sends and returns with delay compensation that allow round robin ping to establish delay in send/return path and set the time advanced playback of the software bus to have zero insert delay - the delay compensation is sample accurate.
There is also a pre-record function you can set to record in advance a selectable number of seconds on any record enabled track - this ensures no late dropins or missed starts.
For using hardware inserts for exporting the render is done in real time, if no external fx are used the render can be accelerated by deselecting the real time export.
