Cubase Essentials 5. Recording audio via a Native Instruments Kore 1 controller. Works fine if I load old projects - I can see the audio input indicator moving up and down - and I can create a new audio track and record to it.
When I try to create a new project it doesn’t work. There is no audio input appearing.
Tried it with both create new project (default) and create new project (empty). It lets me create an audio track (mono or stereo) and select the monitor button - but not the record button.
Thanks for the prompt reply. In the Device Setup the left and right inputs have “inactive” in the last column. Is that the issue? If so do you know what I need to do to change them?
Yes I’ve selected the Kore ASIO driver - and relected it.
Noticed “no bus” on the audio track input. It won’t give me any other options. When I open a previous project it says “activate project” and when it loads the (stereo) audio tracks they all have “stereo In” showing on the track input.
You have the correct driver selected, you have inputs defined under the connections box but they show inactive? and you can’t select an input buss on the channel.
You could try deleting the current input connections by right clicking then create some new ones and see if that help
Or if you haven’t tried already restart the computer. (clutching at straws here)
Yes - afraid I’ve already done the restart thing twice.
If I start up Cubase and a new project - the L + R inputs have an “x” in the visible column but are “inactive.” If I then open a recent project it asks “activate project” and when I select yes the recent project opens. When I now go to the Devices bit and check the L + R inputs are “active.”
Had a look at that and found a folder via the start menu as they suggest - it has three sub folders and a lot of files - none of which look like the preferences files they’re referring to.
Copied all the files into a new folder on the desktop. Deleted all the ones as they suggest. Loaded Cubase again - it generated all the files I’d deleted.
Still getting same thing unfortunately - even after resetting the driver to the Kore ASIO one.
Devices - Show Panel - VST connections - Inputs tab
Then “add bus” - I selected a stereo connection and heard a crackle from the monitors - and the Kore inputs are on.
Don’t understand why “VST connections” governs the audio input. It’s a simple audio in - not a VST instrument or effect. It seems to be working again so I’m back in business.
Yes, you had, but “inactive” in device setup means device port not connected in 99,9% of all cases, no matter what someone tells you he thinks he has done…
