Hi!
I recently setup a mini-studio using Steinberg UR22 sound card, Cubase AI 7 and a PC laptop (Realtek audio card). I use a Nord Stage 2 keyboard and both MIDI and "real-time audio" recording. The setup looks like this (where my Nord Stage 2 is connected to the two line-in connectors on UR22):
Steinberg Recommended Connection for UR22
Everything works fine except one thing. When listening to the audio from the Nord Stage 2 using the headphone jack on the UR22 it sounds a bit muzzled, like it's being played in a box. If I record that audio (still listening to it from the headphone jack) and then playback the recording it sounds perfect, exactly like the sound I would have got if I connected the headphoens directly to my Nord Stage 2! I have recorded the two different versions using an audio recorder connected to the headphone jack on the UR22:
The "bad" (listening while recording) version
The "good" (listening to the recorded audio) version
The difference is quite clear from the recordings. I don't really understand why this happens. There's not a lot of configuration to do on the UR22 itself and I have twisted and turned every knob without success.
I am very grateful for any help regarding this issue!
