"Recording" light

I was just wondering if anybody’s figured out a way for the computer to feed or trigger a light when Cubase goes into Record mode. I’m thinking possibly a signal out of a USB port to some USB gadget I could wire a light up to?

Heh that’s awesome :smiley:
Shame it’s not wireless though, that would make it easier to place outside the door.

thanks for the 100% relevant link for a USB “recording light!”

well you could use a wireless usb extender, but that may prove rather expensive over a wire :laughing:

I only yesterday got the light below my ‘record’ button to work when I press record. Not sure why it works because it isn’t supposed to, seeing as the loop toggle button doesn’t light up while it has the exact same settings :confused:
That’s another topic though.
