Need some help.

I want to add vocals to some tracks I've been working on, but Cubase doesn't recognize the line in and mic ports on my souncard.

I'm running a SB Audigy 2 Value on a nForce 2 based mobo.

The reason this post is here is because I think it is a problem with Cubase. When using other software, it records from these fine. I will post a pic when I figure out how.

Thanks for your help.

Have you enabled all of your sound card's inputs in the 'VST Inputs' section?

is direct monitoring disabled? sometimes i get that same problem in SX2. try disabling it :D

I dont see a 'VST Inputs' option. I look and see one named 'VST Connections'

Is this the tab of which you speak?

I have direct monitoring disabled, and still the problem ensues.

First make sure your soundcard ASIO drive is selected in devices > device setup > Vst Audio Bay... Devices>Vst Connections should automatically see you soundcards i/o. Create an audio track and make sure you have proper i/o configured for the track. Monitor/Record enable... should work.

I'll try it tommorow.
About 10:30 here.
Thanks

Ah...

The good old Cubase SX3 ($899 Cdn msrp) meets Audigy meets not reading the manual problem. I wouldn't marry an Audigy to SX3 and all your other software, you'll only get poor results.

Hope you get it sorted.

LOL please don't be ridiculous...Cubase is a recording software, that's a User error, Read the manual...

When it comes to Cubase, generally when you don't know how to do something it comes down to Cubase being one of the most unintuitive pieces of shit on the market.

When it comes to BASIC features, you really shouldn't have to read the manual. I think the fact that you do is just testament to how un-userfriendly Cubase is.

Very funny. Did you ever have to attend the 'special classes' in grade school?

...just kidding. Well... maybe I'm not. :hihi:

Do you really think Cubase is at all intuitive???

Seriously, it's a piece of trash. I was a long time Cubase user, but I found myself referencing the manual far too often. When I switched to Sonar it was the exact opposite. I can remember only one time where I've actually had to use the manual. I installed it, it found my RME Fireface 800 fine and I've had no problems since day one.

On the other hand I had a hell of a time getting Cubase to recognize my Fireface 800. So why would I have to jump through hoops to get a frickin sound card to work in Cubase but with Sonar I didn't have to do anything and it found it instantly? At this point, it's inexcusable.

And don't play it off like it's a user issue. Ask anyone that's used both Sonar and Cubase and Sonar is universally regarded as the program that's much easier to use.

the one and only recipe.... :roll:
And we can take this huge universe and put it inside a very tiny head, you fold it.

Not about to start a war with you Cyprus... But yes, I do think Cubase is intuitive. It's all user specific. I personally find Sonar ass backwards, but that doesn't mean its a bad program. Cubase fits me like a glove, and it appears Sonar does the same for you. Anything besides that prior sentence means nothing.
