Steinberg Cubase LE
Steinberg Cubase LE is a 24-bit/96kHz multi-track audio/MIDI recorder with high-
quality effects, automation, virtual instruments (VSTi) and many other professional
features.
The following step-by-step tutorials are designed to get you recording as quickly as
possible. After you have finished the tutorial we encourage you to read the Cubase LE
pdf manual in order to learn about the many features of this powerful program. We
have provided a PatchMix DSP Session, as well as a special
Cubase LE Project
to go
along with the following tutorials.
1 - Setting up Cubase LE
Follow these instructions carefully to ensure that Cubase LE runs smoothly the first
time. Cubase LE will remember these settings, so you’ll only have to do this once.
1.
Open Cubase LE
from the Start menu or by double-clicking the desktop icon. An
ASIO multimedia driver test dialog box will pop up to ask if you want to run the
ASIO test.
Choose No,
because you won’t be using the driver anyway.
2.
Select
Device Setup…
from the
Devices
menu.
3.
Select
VST Multitrack
from the list and the following screen appears.
4.
In the Setup section of the dialog box, select
E-MU ASIO
as the ASIO Driver. A pop
up dialog box asks, “Do you want to switch the ASIO driver?” Select
Switch
.
5.
Click the
Control Panel
button. The pop-up dialog
box shown at right appears.
6.
Set the
ASIO Buffer Latency
to 10 ms or less. A low
latency setting is important to assure fast MIDI
response time and to minimize delay when
monitoring through Cubase.
Click OK
.
7.
Make sure the Direct Monitoring box is
Unchecked
.
8.
Close the
Device Setup
screen by selecting
OK
.
9.
Close Cubase LE
by clicking the
button. (Close
the application even if you’re going to continue with
the tutorials, in order to “lock-in” your Preference
settings.)
