CUBASE LE 4
Cubase LE 4 is a fairly powerful digital audio workstation program
provided along with the Helix Board 12 Universal mixer that allows
users to record, edit, delete, and alter their tracks. Please note
that only 8 tracks can be recorded at once with the version of
Cubase included, and users must upgrade or find other suitable
DAW software if they choose to record more tracks.
Installation
Insert the Cubase LE installation CD that came with your mixer
into the CD drive of your computer. Run the installer. When the
installation is complete, run Cubase and follow the onscreen
instructions to activate the program. Users must sign up to
Steinberg’s MySteinberg service to obtain an activation code.
Setup
After successfully completing the installation process, the
following process must be followed to work efficiently with the
Helix Board 12 Universal mixer.
1. Open the Cubase LE program.
2. Go to the ‘Devices’ pull-down menu and select ‘Device Setup’.
On the left, select ‘VST Multitrack’.
3. From the ASIO Driver drop-down list select the “Phonic
ASIO Driver”. A pop-up box will ask you if you want to switch
the ASIO driver. Click ‘Switch’. This completes the basic
installation and setup.
4. To activate audio tracks received from the Helix Board mixer,
complete the following two steps.
a. Go to the “devices” pull-down menu and select ‘VST
Inputs’. This will display the various inputs (“HB 12 U Ch
1”, “HB 12 U Ch 2”, etc.)
b.
Activate 8 of these channels by clicking the “Active” button
located next to each channel name. Please note, only
8 input channels can be activated at any one time. This
is a limitation of Cubase LE, and if more input channels
are needed, we suggest upgrading to a higher version of
Cubase, or use other DAW software.
5. For further instructions on the operation of Cubase, please
consult the user manual by pressing F1 while the program is
open.
