Thx anyway.
No it’s not a bug. You have not configured your Studio correctly.
Start here:
Dude, you really need to spend some time with the manuals, it’s all there. And maybe watch some tutorials. It can be confusing at first, but you’ll get there, I’m sure.
From your MixPre manual:
https://guides.sounddevices.com/mixpre-ii/#h.hnseoi3wkl1i
" Using the MixPre II as a USB Audio Interface
The MixPre II Series perform as highly capable and pristine quality USB audio interfaces. They support up to 96 kHz sample rate at
bit depths of 16, 24, 32-bit integer or 32-bit float. The MixPre II’s 32-bit float USB audio path makes it possible to record into a DAW above 0 dBFS without clipping.
A list of compatible 32-bit float OS and DAW’s can be found at www.sounddevices.com/32-bit-float-applications
For PC users, the MixPre II appears as a 2x2 audio interface unless a specific ASIO® driver is installed. The latest ASIO drivers are
available for free at www.sounddevices.com/download
A PC running Windows 10 or higher is required to stream 32-bit float audio. A PC running Windows 7 or below will not stream audio at 32-bit float. Please install the correct ASIO driver relative to your operating system.
To work with the USB audio from a host computer, it is necessary to route the USB 1 - 4 sources appropriately. To mix the USB audio from the host computer with live audio from the inputs to the LR bus, use the channel screen and select input source. To hear the USB host computer audio in the headphones only, switch the HP preset to USB 1,2 or USB 3,4.
The MixPre II is capable of recording and streaming audio to a USB host simultaneously, or recording the USB audio stream out of a computer directly to its SD recorder.
When connected to a computer as a USB Audio Interface the sample rate of the MixPre II is determined by the computer.
Low-Latency Monitoring
Latency has been minimized while using the MixPre-II as a USB interface. In situations where the throughput latency is higher than desired, the input can be directly monitored in the headphone output.
To Monitor With Zero-Latency:
- Connect via USB-C to the USB port on your computer.
- Confirm that the LR Stereo HP Preset is selected.
- Select USB 1 for Channel 1 source (MixPre-3 II), Channel 5 source (MixPre-6 II), or Channel 9 source (MixPre-10 II) and Pan L.
- Select USB 2 for Channel 2 source (MixPre-3 II), Channel 6 source (MixPre-6 II), or Channel 10 source (MixPre-10 II) and Pan R.
OR
- Create a custom HP preset that mixes the microphone or input you want to record from with the USB 1 and/or USB 2 feed from the computer. For example, HP L = Ch1 + U1 and HP R = Ch1 + U2.
- Connect microphone or other inputs to remaining channels.
- Select USB 1 for Channel 1 source (MixPre-3 II), Channel 5 source (MixPre-6 II), or Channel 9 source (MixPre-10 II) and
- Pan L.
- Select USB 2 for Channel 2 source (MixPre-3 II), Channel 6 source (MixPre-6 II), or Channel 10 source (MixPre-10 II) and Pan R.
- Connect microphone or other inputs to remaining channels.
- Select the appropriate inputs for remaining channels.
- Setup your DAW software for a new track with its source being any of the available channels.
- Disable record monitoring or mute the channel’s output in the DAW.
You should now be able to hear and adjust the output of your DAW audio through the channels you set to USB 1 and 2 on your MixPre while adjusting your low-latency feed in your headphones (and send levels to DAW) using the remaining channel knobs."
Best of luck, and be patient!
I have other things to do now …
I do not want to use the MixPrem for output.
Just the
This is the wrong track. Pls forget about the MixPre here.
Why does Cubase not find it?
Reaper finds it, too
VLC, too
Cubase 13/14? No.
This is not very customer friendly…
Cubase windows has always worked with ASIO devices only.
The devices you want to use don’t have ASIO drivers.
Also it is only possible to use a single device at once with normal ASIO drivers (that’s a windows limitation)
If you absolutely have to use one device for input and another for output that has no asio driver you’ll need to aggregate the 2 devices with a third party driver like VB audio Matrix/Coconut which combines the multiple windows drivers into one ASIO wrapper and then you can select this as your driver. Performance will not be as low latency as using a dedicated ASIO driver.
Ok, pls forget the input here.
I just want the output to my standard sound device.
What is so difficult in 2024 to do this, while all other software mentioned, does this without any problems.
What is wrong with this?
I mean we are talking here about a standard Windows 11 operating system with a simple sound output. What is the idea to overcomplicate this?
This year I bought 3 pieces of software from Steinberg, nameley Spectral Layers, Wavelab and Cubase and as it stands today, only SL would be recommendable (even so it is kind of buggy, but it’s design is ingenious.). Not because the programs are inherently bad, but because of so many not well thought and customer unfriendly implementations of, for instance, simple stuff, like sound input/output design. As a customer in 2024, I expect a flawless functionality of those basics without even thinking about them. What a waste of time and ressource is this? Now, one might say, this software is meant to be used by “professionals”. Seriously? A professional does not want to waste his time and money with such simple installation issues. The company gets paid for its software in expectation to work.
Studio/Setup/Audio System - Try Generic low latency.
Where to find “Generic low latency.”? (Forget about the MixPre here…)
Out 1/Out 2 nothing happens, because they seem to be connected to the MixPre (don’t care)
This is needed (as all other programs work with):
???
The connection to the sound system of windows is missing here.
I did reinstall Cubase already.
Again: Studio/Setup/Audio System
You got as far as setup but you haven’t clicked on Audio System!!
