Could someone point me in the right direction within the forum site to find info on basic recording technique Q&A,
cheers
You mean Cubase specific? Check out the getting started manual you got with your Cubase version.
Point mic at sound source, press record
Best to google that one, this forum is more about the technical side of Cubase.
Tried pointing mic at sound source but nothing happened
PS Whats the black lead connected to the mic for?
(split - yr reply made me smile, if only it were that simple. One thing I’ve found is, when you’ve got an acceptable result, stop tweaking!!)
That is indeed a great bit of advice. Sounds like you’re getting there.
