Dear Anyone.
NOOB here, so if it’s an easy answer for you experts, be nice!
I’ve got Cubase 12. I use Realtek High Definition Audio Codec and couldn’t make Cubase find it, so I got Asio4All and it’s found that fine. Remembering I’ve only had Cubase 4 days and don’t know what I’m doing…
I choose a VST and put it on a channel (or whatever the correct techie word is!) Then I select STAVE for that channel and start putting in notes with the mouse - but I can’t hear any noise whilst I’m doing that. If I select PLAYBACK for that channel, I then hear all the notes I’ve put in - but of course it’s complete gibberish because I couldn’t hear what I was doing.
What do I select so when I put a note on a stave it immediately plays the sound so I know I’ve put the right note in? And is it possible to see more than one stave on the screen simultaneously so if you’ve got - for example - 6 instruments going you can see all 6 staves so you can add notes to whichever instrument you want to, without having to close the current instrument and open another one? It’s just I find having to go through the close/open thing every time I want to put notes in a different instrument VERY destructive to thought patterns - by the time you’ve closed one/opened the next, you’ve forgotten what you were going to put!
Usually I use Quick Score Elite Level 2, which just lets you have all the staves open and in front of you at once, a much better way of working! BUT - it can only handle 32-bit VSTs and JBRIDGED 64-bit ones don’t always work that well. There’s GOTTA be a way of entering a note with a mouse and hearing it as you’re entering it in Cubase, hasn’t there?
Yours puzzledly,
Chris.
