I am a newbie having a brand-new UR22C / Cubase LE AI 10.5.20 / MacOS 11.1 Big Sur.
Using dspMixFx_UR-C I can connect my guitar and hear it through the headphones connected to the UR22C.
I also can configure the effects on the UR22C through the dspMixFx_UR-C. So USB and headphone works.
In Cubase AI i have set up the UR22C in studio setup
Studio Setup
In UR22C Input 2 → UR22C Input 1 Visible Active
In UR22C Input 2 → UR22C Input 2 Visible Inactive
Out UR22C Mix L → UR22C Mix L Visible Active
Out UR22C Mix R → UR22C Mix R Visible Active
Why is UR22C Input 2 Inactive and how can I change that?
Project
Created a project "electric guitar clean + vocal!
Got a dialog “missing ports”, mapped Microphone (HD 1 Mono In 1 - Mono) to UR22C Input 1
Audio connection
Removed all buses
Added bus “Guitar”
Input
Left → UR22C Input 1
Right → UR22C Input 2
Stereo Out
Left → UR22C Mix L
Right → UR22C Mix R
Routing
In the inspector I added Guitar - Right and Stereo to the routing.
No signal from my guitar
When I try to record I get no signal whatsoever from my guitar into Cubase.
No output signal
When I add a drum loop track an try to replay it, I also get no sound.
No signal on volume display
Also the volume displays at the mixer do not show any signal. I am sure that I missed something very basic but I have no idea what.
Make sure Cubase has enabled Mic in the System Preferences, please.
Open macOS System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Microphone. Enable Cubase here.
Thanks for the quick reply. I already had enabled the microphone for Cubase at installation time.
So I did all my unsuccessful attempts with the mic enabled.
I really do not know. Thats one of the parts that are confusing to me.
After many attempts I uninstalled the Yamaha Driver, rebooted, and – voilá – a partial solution: Cubase can now use the UR22C under certain circumstances.
I have opened two support requests at Steinberg, lets see, what they say.
