Mac OS 9 Users:
If you did not install Cubasis be-
fore installing the US-122 driver, there is an extra
step here. When you have finished the Cubasis
installation, there will be two ASIO drivers in the
“US-122 Drivers” folder on your desktop (unless
you chose a different location for them during
installation). Drag these two files into the “ASIO
Drivers “ folder inside the Cubasis folder.
3.
Double-click the Cubasis icon to launch the program.
4.
Click on the Audio pull-down menu, and open the
Audio Control Panel. Click on the “ASIO Device”
pulldown menu and select the US-122 as your audio
device.
5.
Click on the Audio menu and select “Input”. Click on
the input pair on the US-122. The green Input icons
will light in the Cubasis Input window to show the
active inputs.

Select a track to record to by clicking on one of the
tracks in the arrange window. Cubasis will ask you
to save your session somewhere on your hard drive
before you can proceed.

Click on the Audio menu and select VST Channel
Mixer. Click on the “In” button.
8.
When recording your first tracks in Cubasis, make
sure that the Direct switch is turned OFF at first.

Click on the Record button. You’ll probably hear a
two-bar countoff, then it will start recording. Click
the Stop button to finish recording. You should see
the track you’ve recorded displayed in the arrange
window.
You can copy the Cubasis Demo Song from the CD and
open it to start working with Cubasis right away.

Move the Direct switch to “On”. This enables the Di-
rect Monitor feature, which allows you to hear what
you’re recording without added delay (see sidebar).
Turn the Direct Monitor knob about 1/2 way up.
6.
Connect the Left and Right Line Out to your mixer,
amplifier or powered speakers. Switch the speakers
on, and then gradually turn up the Line Out knob. (If
you don’t hear anything when your source instru-
ment is playing, ensure that the Direct switch is on
and the Direct Monitor knob is turned up at least
1/2 way.)
