I’m on Artist 9 and have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4.
Using only 2 microphones to record my acoustic guitar, but I need at least 7 tracks for overdubbing, rhythm, soloing etc …
I have a trouble assigning, say mic from input 1 (on the Focusrite) to record only on channel 1 and not an all audio tracks I have created for a project. If I create a single Audio track in Cubase, and connect 2 microphones on each of the line inputs on my DAW, both microphones are recording on the single channel??
Been struggling with this for a while (thus the title).
Can you please help me with the following:
How can I assign the mic from input 1 on my DAW to record to a particular channel on my Cubase (say channel 7), and the other mic from input 2 to records on channel 11 (for example)?
I know it must be some kind of mapping to connect an input with a channel on the Cubase, but I can not simply figure it out.
In Devices/VST connections I have made Inputs - mono 1 and mono 2, and Outputs are Stereo 1 & 2. The Audio Device is Set to Focusrite, as it should. Also when I created Audio Tracks in Project/Add Track I’ve selected Mono in, Stereo Out.
Can you screencap vst connections/inputs and your track inspector showing the 2 inputs selected for 2 different tracks.
It sounds like you’re doing it right but I can’t actually think of any other reason than an incorrect setting that would cause both mics to be recorded on one track
Please do send a screenshot of what Grim asked for.
But, in general, if you are using the front connections on your Focusrite for both the guitar and mic then you should set these up as seperate mono busses. The 2 outputs on the back should be set up as one stereo bus.
In the CB audio track inspector section click on the track # to expand the section to assign the input and output busses. Assign one of the mono input buses to the audio track as you want. The output bus would be set to the rear stereo bus.
