I am in despair. I bought a RODE NT1 and connected it to the UR22 MK2
(Connection to Input 1)
I also get direct feedback that audio is detected while I speak into the mic. So Cubase detects an audio signal and gives me direct feedback on the headphones when “Monitoring” is set on the audio track.
If I also set recording, the signals are just unfortunately not recorded. The level shows me a signal, but this is not written to the track (Record and Montor buttons are both active).
Also the input routing is set to mono 1 as it was set in the VST-Connections.
Output routing is set to stereo.
Drivers are all up to date.
The Audio driver is: ASIO4All
I also tried it with the Yamaha USB Asio - same issue.
I honestly don’t know what to do anymore.
Does anyone know what could solve this issue?
While recording, the “recording” Button on the track is active. Also, i press “*” on the keyboard, so cubase is in recording mode as when i would record MIDI inputs.
It also writes to the track during recording but without any data or visible soundwaves.
It seems that the data from the mic cannot be written to the track
So that sounds like Cubase is indeed in full on recording mode and it would seem that it’s getting the audio ok, since you are hearing it in your headphones when the little monitor icon on the selected track is on.
Can you still hear the input from your mic when you disable monitoring on the audio track while Cubase is stopped?
Do you have direct monitoring enabled? It could explain why you hear the mic input in your headphones.
To troubleshoot the signal flow, it would be best to turn off direct monitoring.
And also stick with the fully updated Yamaha USB drivers ASIO.
And for this troubleshooting make a new empty Cubase project with just a single Audio track connected to the mic. And maybe have some music or other noise running in the room that the mic can pick up.
And then in that configuration, maybe attach a screen capture while you’re trying to record?
I should have mentioned that i run in windows 10. As Win10 restricts a lot of write operations on the boot partition (C:/), i was not allowed to write any data to the disc via cubase.
The workaround: creating the projects on a different partition. I now created a dedicated partition for all the cubase projects which finally does the trick
Thank you for the suggestions and setting improvements as well, i followed this adivse.
Have a great day everyone
Was it really by accident, or was it because you checked for the files in the pool? I’m asking because write permissions is exactly why I asked you about the pool.
Okay, that’s good to know
the files were showing up in the pool but I did not see anything regarding permissions.
I tried your suggestion of creating a new blank project but I was creating it in a different partition which is why it worked.
Nevertheless - thanks for your support - really useful!
i marked your answer as solution though - maybe you can add a small explanation there for other users to find it immediately
That is interesting - and good to know for future troubleshooting. So it looks like Cubase still shows the pool metadata information, even when the real audio file writing fails.
Is it fair to assume your project .cpr file was in another folder, not at C:\ root level? Or did you never even save the project? That would be really good to know, too - for future troubleshooting.
My post definitely shouldn’t get credit for the solution, since I didn’t actually spell out my suspicion about the permissions (which I should have - and that’s a good lesson for me). And the pool window didn’t seem to make the problem that obvious either (which I erroneously thought it would).
So your post about the permissions problem is the right one to mark as the solution. And I understand now, why you trought it was more of a happy accident that you figured out the permissions problem (even though the happy accident was triggered by an earlier suggestion in a different post )
So I apologize for questioning your happy accident post and you should definitely mark that one as the solution again.
Woah! Your brief reply here saved my life! I had the same problem (Cubase 13 pro) and this is exactly what I was doing, pressing Play and not Record on the transport, mistakenly thinking that enabling the track to record was enough. Thank you!!!
I’ve been off the grid for about 10 years, so to say I’m rusty is an understatement. Glad I found this thread! Again, thanks!
With some of what’s going on around the world these days, being off-grid sounds pretty good!
But if you meant that only in the context of Cubase and recording, then the current time is pretty amazing compared to 10 years ago. Of course, with all the new capabilities come extra learning curves.
Welome to the forum! Hope your Cubase 13 journey will be fun!
