I recently aquired a Yamaha ‘MD8’ MinDisk hardware DAW, and having spoken to a Yamaha rep about it, I’ve been told it can be used as a mixing desk as long as I have MiniDisks, which I do.
However, I was wondering which connections and wires I’d have to use to be able to use it in Cubase as a mixer or to allow Cubase to accept it as hardware.
If it helps I can supply you with a diagram of the inputs/outputs of the MD8, sound card details and other such things.
Furthermore, I was wondering if I could use the Rec, Play and stop buttons and scrubbing dial on the MD8 somehow? How could I connect the Yamaha up to allow me to use these features?
Thank you
Well, MIDI is needed if you want to set up a Generic Remote to control Transport functions. As far as audio goes, it would depend on the # of mixer outs and soundcard ins as to what you could do with it.
