I recently got a TASCAM 1800 interface to connect to my laptop. Im using cubase LE as my current DAW.
As its all new to me, ive tried connecting up a keyboard to the interface to just record a “test run”…
Well FINALLY after more than a few failed attempts I finally got a reading on the mixer that cubase was picking up the signal from the keyboard. … This was a good sign… Also, I could hear keyboard in my headphones coming from the interface…
So away I went and pressed RECORD and played like a real amatue r…
When I pressed play to listen back there was nothing… No sound… Interestingly, there was written waveforms on the cubase screen, but no sound…
Yeah im pretty sure I dont have the outputs set up properly, but I am not sure what they should even be because there was no instruction on how or what to do here…
normaly there should a short setup guide included with cubase LE 5.
Please go in Cubase to devices → VST Connections and select here the output tab, and be sure that your audio device is seleted and the right outputs of your audio device.
Yes the thing I dont understand is I have 16 input channels and ONLY 4 outputs…
So before I had the keyboard assigned to Input 11 (I knew this because it was in input 11 on the interface)…
But on the outputs, I have 4 outputs and im not sure which one its supposed to be assigned to. Is there a correct one?
Also, when I mic up my drum kit using channel imputs 1-8, how do I know what outputs should be used for each channel on vst connections. This is a mystery to me…
You really should break out the Getting Started portion of the manual and go through the set-up steps one-by-one. Not understanding that you want to select the output your speakers are connected to really emphasises this.
