About 7 years ago, I used Cubase for a while, in a setup with Phonic Firefly 302 USB interface, a Yamaha digital piano with MIDI in/out (which I used for playing/recording VST instruments) and a microphone. Everything worked and I really loved it :-).
Now 7 years later, I want to start using Cubase again.
I have successfully installed Cubase 12 Artist and am using the same setup (interface, piano, mic). Cubase recognized the Firefly interface. When I play available loops and samples in Cubase, I can hear sound. When I press âplayâ with the metronome switched on, I can hear the metronome.
The problem I encounter is that when I open the VST instrument, the HALion Sonic SE, I canât hear any sound. I can see that if I press a key on my piano, the same key is being played in the HALion Sonic SE, but I donât hear any sound.
If I look in the main screen, bottom right. I can see thereâs âMIDI-inâ activity (a blue bar appears when I press a key on my piano), but thereâs no indication of a signal in the âMIDI-outâ activity.
I am a total newbie, but that struck my attentionâŚ
So⌠the thing is, I canât hear sound. And I wonder if anybody could help me out with this problem.
I would check your Audio Connections by pressing F4. Make sure that the correct outputs are being used in either the âControl Roomâ or âOutputsâ tab.
Does it work if you temporarily disable your preferences? Hold Ctrl + Shift + Alt while Cubase 12 is starting up. This window should appear:
I guess you have loaded a sound from within HalionSSE?
Edit: You will not hear any sound from it after only loading it up, You have to select a sound from within it.
