Ok I found a tutorial which is laid out very well......

http://www.espace-cubase.org/anglais/appcub.htm

I was following it quite easily. I got to the bit where I set my metronome click to record a track and there's no sound, I know my soundcasrds works because I played an mp3 file and it came out fine, I have managed to record and playback stuff in Cool Edit pro but I can't in cubase. I fiddle with some menus about output and set anything I could to my soundcard but with no luck, can anyone please help a beginner.
 
I think it's under file/preferences. Somewhere in there, there is a reference to metronome and a 'audio click' or 'audible click' check box and volume setting for it.

It's been awhile since I used Cubase but I think that's one possibility.

Is it a just the metronome you can't hear, or anything you record?
 
I sussed it and now I can record stuff but I cant add eq or effects whilst monitoring the input! I have turned all sends on and chosen effects and fiddled with nobs but the input sound is still the same!
 
Haven't used cubase since 3,72 - though I've downloaded the 5.1 upgrade, I'm using Nuendo, but ... when I was using cubase it wasn't able to monitor through the effects, loaded up some of the new effects in Nuendo - no monitoring :( Guess it's a cubase problem

Do you mean have VST/DX effects on the live signal, while monitoring, while it records?

I don't think this is possible in Cubase or Nuendo.

If it is, I can imagine some wild CPU resources would be required, as well as latency issues.

I just record the tracks first and add effects later. Maybe I don't understand the problem.
 
it is possible in Nuendo with all the DX and Nuendo plugs, it doesn't take more cpu than adding the effects after recording

do'h.. actually the reason you ain't getting a real click is because the click sound is first based upon the device you choose for the click and then the channel (usually channel 10 which i personally never use).. other than that you have to enable click on the funny little bar where your master, sync, play, stop-and-shit-like-that-buttons are...
now.. see cubase also lets you decide a specific note for the click so if you ain't got a sound on that note it might be a good idea setting it to a note where there is some sound..
personally i never use it. I just start the beat two bars before. press play and then record quickly and you're much better set..
i have a coca cola and i'm not afraid to use it...
