How To Install Cubase LE with
your TASCAM Computer Interface
S
teinberg’s Cubase LE is now included with these
TASCAM computer interfaces: the US-
122
, US-
224
, US-
428
, FW-
1082
, FW-
1804
and FW-
1884
. This guide should
help you set up your TASCAM interface with your comput-
er and set up Cubase LE so that it communicates with the
interface and control surface features of your interface.
Mac OS X Setup
1.
Do not connect the TASCAM interface yet
.
Install the driver for your TASCAM computer interface fi rst. In
some cases, there may be a newer version of the driver than the one on the CD that came with your unit. You
should visit our website at tascam.com and select your product from the pulldown menu to make sure you
have the current version. Double-click the installer and follow the on-screen instructions, making sure your
interface is disconnected or switched off.
2.
After restarting your computer, verify that the USB or FireWire LED lights up. Insert the Cubase LE Install CD,
double-click on the installer and follow the directions. When it asks you for a serial number, type in the letter
code printed on the outside of your Cubase LE disc sleeve.
3.
Make sure that your TASCAM interface is connected and turned on. Launch Cubase LE, located in your Appli-
cations folder.
4.
Once Cubase LE has launched, click on the Devices menu at the top of the screen and choose
Device Setup
.
5.
In the list to the left side of this window, click on
VST Multitrack
. Click on the
ASIO Driver
pulldown menu and
select your TASCAM interface from the list. See the diagram below.
6. Click
on
All MIDI Inputs
and
Default MIDI Ports
to make sure that Cubase LE sees your interface. If it is not
already selected as the default MIDI port, select your TASCAM interface’s Port 1 from the list.
7.
To set your TASCAM interface as a control surface, click on the
Add/Remove
tab at the top of the Device Setup
window. Select
Mackie Control
(FW-
1082
, FW-
1884)
or
US-428
(US-
224
, US-
428
) from the list and click
Add
.
Then, click the
Setup
tab and select that same device from the list on the left. For the MIDI In and Out ports,
select the Control Port for your interface. Finally, click
Apply
to save your changes.

the

or FW-

in its control panel. See
your owners manual for more information.
