That’s it for the moment. I don’t for the moment have any interest in audio recording.
I want to create drum/bass tracks and then add various parts via MIDI from the Roland. However, I haven’t the faintest idea how to get started at this. I started off by following the manual but fell over at the first hurdle. Creating a new Project, I don’t know which one to start with.
I don’t expect to have my hand held all through this process, but I find the user manual too technical and so I’m looking for some resources that don’t presume I have any background in digital recording. I watched a few videos on YouTube but they seemed to gloss over the configuration parts and I really need some introduction to the basic concepts.
I guess you all had to be there once upon a time. I guess as well that I could just mess around and find the answers with trial and error, but I’d like to get going a bit quicker than that. So what resources would people recommend? Books? DVDs?
How far along am I? Well, your very helpful pictures were news to me! So many thanks.
I did mess about with VST connections and managed to “play” some of the on-board sounds from my keyboard. I’m not at home so I can’t tell you what exactly I did but there seemed to be something called Halion with a bunch of instruments in a drop-down list. I could change these and hear the changes through my headphones. Man, was that a breakthrough!
Are you getting a sense yet of just how clueless I am?
Apparently, somewhere on the LE installation disk, are a series of tutorial videos. At least according to the company that sold me the TASCAM audio interface. So I’ll take a look when I get home…

Thanks for all your help - I think I’ll get somewhere soon. Problem is that I’m at work, and my setup is at home, so I won’t be able to do anything for a few hours…
I had some good lessons watching the youtube-videos related to the “learning Cubase”.
As a hint: Just google to “Working with Cubase” or " Arbeiten mit Cubase"
You’ll get some fantastic start-up hints and tipps, which will help you a lot.
