I am doing a little composing and have used 8 Instrument tracks(Using Kontakt 5) in Cubase LE AI 8, I need to add more but it won’t let me. I have followed this video(below) successfully so I should have 12 Instrument Channels. It says in Cubase that I have 12 when I do what this guy does.
Is the problem caused by my Controller Keyboard(Novation Impulse 49) only having 8 channel faders on it. I have tried without the keyboard, but it still won’t allow more instrument tracks. The Keyboard is automapped to the cubase, so it doesn’t like it if I don’t have the keyboard plugged in.
Thanks, Martin. I maybe will upgrade in future, but money has to be spent on other things at the moment. Are you saying that 8 Instrument tracks is the maximum on Cubase LE AI 8? Are the other factors I mentioned irrelevant? The Controller Keyboard and the Adding Channels to 12 in Kontakt etc? Would just like clarification.
I happen to have AI 7 installed, so I checked this out.
I was able to create 16 Instrument tracks, but 8 VST instruments in the Rack. Make sure you are using the correct terms. If this question regards the window that comes up when you hit F11, you are talking about the VST Rack. Instrument Tracks are created (for example) by right-clicking in the Track area.
Sorry for the confusion guys. On my Cubase Desktop Icon it says “Cubase LE AI 8”, I didn’t realise they were two different versions, but thanks for clarifying which version I have.
