Cubase to Firepod missing channels !

[maddog2112]

I have the same problem as everyone else seems to so I can not image why it is not spelled out in the help sections of the manufactures lit.

I connect the firepod to the LE but it will only see 2 channels. I try to follow the examples listed but they always list drop downs that do not exist or "click on the ...." that does not exist. can anyone tell me 1 how to open all 8 channels and 2 where I could have found that in the documentation?

What role does the sound card play in a setup with a firepod and CUbase LE?
are the audio singles sent via firewire or does the soundcard get involved. Currently I have my sound card audio out doing to a mixer that is not invovled with the firepod at all. is this problem? Do I need to upgrade the sound card to get 8 inputs or will the standard windows card dell ships with be ok?

Does LE even support 8 channnels -

I am very frustrated with the included documentation !!!

Not sure why people are having these problems. I have tw pods and I recognize all 16 inputs. In LE are you activating 3-8? By default it will only activate the first 2. If they are not blue, they are not activated.

Also, I agree, the documentation absolutely sucks for LE! I beleive you have to go to devices/VST devices and then make sure that all 8 are blue. You may onle see 2 right away, go to the lower coner and make the window larger and you should see the others.

What version of LE are you using. 1.08 won't do the 8 simultaneous inputs. That could be your problem

Thanks all. I figured it out but I could not say how. I never say anything blue or red though?
