Hello all, first time post so if I skip something important I apologize now. Here is my issue. I recently bought Cubase 7 Elements and a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8. Connected to the 18i8 is a Arturia MiniBrute, Kork MS2000r, and a Novation Ultranova. On initial setup of Cubase I had it showing signal and recording audio from the M/B. I then attempted to save everything as a template which after pushing save disappeared. Second attempt same thing. Now, I cant get CB to show any signal from any external hardware. Everything shows is recognizes the 18i8(my laptop and Cubase) but once I open an audio track…nothing. It comes through my monitors but nothing on the DAW side. All drivers have been removed and reinstalled and are the most current. The only thing I have not done is reinstall CB. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply Bane but the mix control is def. set to Daw1…still nothing. Now if I set it to analog and whatever input I have the synth plugged into then I hear the signal and it registers but it doesn’t in cubase.
Focusrite USB driver enabled. 8 inputs with 2 outputs in connections. Cubase shows all active. Correct bus on track. Monitor button selected. No sound or levels.
Hey Bane, update/solution! After trying to just add an audio file to see if it would play(it didn’t) I knew it was not Cubase acting up. I strated messing with the routing on the Scarlett Mixer Comtrol. Boom, sure enough once I cleared all routing and reset to DAW tracking, all was well. I just hope I don’t need to reset everytime. Then again things could be worse so I’m not complaining If I had to. Thanks for the direction and help.
Well just always make sure that in the “routing presets” you either have one of your mixes or DAW 1/2 displayed. If you have a mix showing make sure your DAW fader over on the right has singal coming through, and that it isn’t muted or an input channel is soloed.
