Cubase 13 Artist with 2 sound cards (...and ASIO4ALL)

Hello,

I have a small problem with the ASIO4ALL configuration. It is the following: I have two sound cards (a Soundblaster AE9 and a Steinberg UR24C) that I want to use with Cubase 13 Artist so that with one I can record the sound of both the microphone and other instruments plugged into the inputs of the UR24C and, to listen, use the AE9 since it has a Toslink output.
Everything works as expected except that the analog input channels of the UR24C mix their signals, the microphone input can be heard in the line input, as well as the connected instrument. If I use only the Steinberg card, this contamination does not occur. I suspect that I must have something wrong configured, but I can’t find it.
Does anyone know where the fault could be?
Thank you very much for the help, I attach one screenshot with the settings as they are now.

Greetings

Hi,

Double-check the Loop Back settings in the UR’s Control Panel, please. It should be disabled.

Hi Martin,

Good evening. Thanks for your help. And sorry for my stupidity, but, Where I can see the UR’s control panel in Cubase?

Thanks a lot,

You can’t see it/open it from in Cubase because you have ASIO4all in use…open it from windows.

I think it’s called dspmixfx or something like that.

Making progress with ASIO4ALL, Cubase 13 Artist and two sound cards?

Hello,

First of all, thank you very much for the help I’m receiving.
Good. Continuing with the subject (my UR24C management does not have the Loop Back setting), I have managed to record with the UR24C and listen to the result of the recording with the AE9 (we are on the right track) however, when I export the work to an audio file (WMA, MP3, etc) the analog channels are not exported.
Let me explain, I have created a small project that includes two voice tracks (micro line in 2) a guitar track (line in 1) and two instrument tracks that I have recorded with my Minilab 3 controller and Analog Lab V. I have exported the entire project, but only the Instrument tracks can be heard.
I attach a video file in which you can see the activity in the project, a file with the exported audio, and several configuration screenshots.
Thank you very much for the help





The audio routing of each track and your settings in the export dialog would be equally interesting.

Hope this help

I can hear voices in the audio sample??

Hi Grim,

Good afternoon.
Thank you very much for your help. There are two tracks with vocals. When exported they are inaudible. However, in the mixer they are heard.

So what is the audio only sample you have posted if that’s not the export?

Yes it is. Do you need anything else?

It has voices (spoken) in it. So I don’t understand the problem. You said it should only have instruments.

Hi,

Aren’t the Monitor buttons enabled on the tracks, while Export Audio Mixdown?

So you don’t hear the voices when you play the audio sample??

I seem to be slipping into some alternate reality here :slight_smile:

…Well,

If I listen very carefully (really very carefully) I can hear, in the distance, some voices between silences or low volume parts of the instruments, in the mp3 export file. However, in Cubase the mix sounds fine. I don’t understand why.
I’m going to have to start looking for an Indian cemetery under my house :-))

I don’t know how the mix sounds in Cubase so I have nothing to compare to but I didn’t need to listen at all carefully to hear voices. They’re right there in the mix, clear as day.

Are you re-importing the file to Cubase to listen…could be something weird in the software you use to playback?? Or if you are reimporting to the same project could you be playing with the other vocals and causing cancellation?

Hi Grim,

Good morning. First of all, thanks very much again for your help.

It’s a Miracle!!! I can listen the voices.

I don’t understand how (it’s a miracle)

Thanks again for your help, I’ll continue checking what it could happened. We may consider the post closed.

Regards and thanks again.
