Hi,

I am having some trouble recording sound into my new Cubase LE 6 program. I set up the Scarlett 212 usb interface that came with the software on my computer, however, I am unable to successfully record sounds via the microphone attatchment. I see on the program that there is an output line, but there is no input line. Does this confirm that there is a hang up? If so, how do I go about fixing it?

In VST Connections, do you have a mono input assigned to the Scarlett input?
