TASCAM US-1641
This chapter answers frequently asked questions related to
recording with Cubase LE 4.
Q1. I think I have configured the input settings
properly, but I see no activity on the audio
track's meter.
A1.
Make sure that the
Monitor
button of the track is
enabled.
Q2. I would like to record two channels simul-
taneously in stereo.
A2.
Before you record, choose Stereo track(s) or add
Audio track(s) as Stereo. In this case, the track input is
indicated as Stereo in or something similar.
Q3. I am trying to use the EQ, but it does not
seem to do anything.
A3.
Check the VST channel setting or other settings to
make sure that EQ bypass is disabled.
Q4. I tried to mix down a three-minute song,
but could mix only ten seconds.
A4.
Make sure that the region specified by the left and
right locators is set to three minutes or longer.
Q5. I cannot set the locator region to more
than ten minutes.
A5.
The default setting is ten minutes. From the
Project
menu, choose
Project Setup
and then change the
Length
field.
Q6. I burned a CD using the WAV file I mixed
down, but the speed is obviously different.
A6.
Could the sampling rate of your project be set to
48 kHz? If your ultimate objective is to create a CD,
TASCAM recommends that the sampling rate be set to
44.1 kHz from the beginning.
To specify the sampling rate, choose
Project Settings
from the
Project
menu, then set the sampling rate to
44.100 kHz
.
Q7. I have connected an audio source to the
US-1641, but cannot hear anything.
A7.
Make sure that the input level is raised appropriately.
When a signal is being input, the
Gain indicator
will light
up green. Make sure that the monitor (or headphone) level
is raised, and that the connections are correct.
Q8. The sound is distorted.
A8.
Make sure that the signal is not overloading. If the
signal is analog, the ideal level is when the
Gain indicator
lights up red occasionally.
Q9. I tried to change the sample rate in the
Control Panel, but could not.
A9.
If a valid signal is plugged into the US-1641’s digital
input, and the
Sample Clock Source
menu has been set to
Automatic
, the US-1641 will always run at the sample rate
received at its digital input. To run at a different sample
rate while continuing to receive digital audio, you must
change the sample rate of the device that is sending the
digital signal. If you do not need to continue to receive
digital audio, you can set the
Sample Clock Source
menu
to
Internal
or simply unplug the cable connected to the
digital input.
