Hi @rlively,
Thanks for your message.
I’d suggest to check out our Getting started with Cubasis tutorial, to quickly dive into learning the main workflow concepts how to use Cubasis.
In regards to audio recordings, you’d might give the following chapters of the clip a closer look, where Dom explains the detailed routings and audio device settings:
Adding audio tracks
Recording electric guitar
Recording vocals
Normally, Cubasis should work fine when creating regular projects. If you encounter issues, I’d suggest to check out our dedicated Cubasis 3 Performance and Multicore-rendering & Latency Settings articles. If things work as expected from scratch, there is no need to change anything.
Hope that helps!
Enjoy making music
& stay healthy,
Lars
