Cubase LE?

[TetraFish]

Hello Home Recording community...

I just joined and found this post first up and it applys to me... I recently bought a Tascam US-144 mxII and it came with Cubase LE... I can barely get the thing to work... It recognizes the audio but will not record... Or...Sometimes it will... Then it may start popping and stuff...

It took me forever just to get the thing registered... Fighting pirates I guess..

I'm used to a stand alone digital recorder... Or even better a cassette 4 track... I have tons of demo's recorded this way...But my new girl has encouraged me to move up in the world... So I bought the Tascam.... I finally printed off the 274 page book for cubase...Still, these bugs... I set the input VST whatever to the tascam and the outputs to the computer speaker Asio or whatever...

I just wanna record something... And what I managed to get recorded sounded really good...But now these problems have returned..
Reboot.. Try again... Repeat...

I have other issues with it too...But will maybe post that in an actual question thread... I just saw this post and thought I'd say hello...

I'm looking at Reaper right now... Maybe I should give that one a shot... If it will work I'd pay the bucks... I have used Acid before but not to record guitar music.. Ya know?

Thanks!!

The popping is probably a problem with your set up not the software, by all means try reaper but you'll probably have the same results.

Have you optimized your computer for recording?
Try using the tascam as the outputs and listen through headphones (one ASIO driver for ins and outs).
You may have to adjust the buffer size, a bigger buffer will increase the latency but will also improve stability.

I have Cubase LE too (came as bundled software with my TASCAM interface I bought). Are there different LE versions then?? Mine just says "Cubase LE." If there are, are the more advanced or improved LE versions free too like mine was when I bought my interface? If they're all LEs, is there really much different in the first one and others?

There are 3 versions, LE1, LE4, and LE5. They are all different compared to each other.

While I like cubase a lot, dealing with Steinberg is just TERRIBLE. Everything they do online is a hassle, major pain in the ass to register cubase 5.

I have been wrestling with Cubase LE that came with the hardward for a couple of weeks... I installed Reaper and was able to record right away with no popping or crazy set up or anything... It installed in under a minute... I'm gonna try it for awhile and see what happens...

And license is only $40 for a basement hack like me.. .I just wanna record some songs.. I don't wanna fight with something... Ya know?

Thanks for the quick responses ) I'll be checking this forum out much.. Great place here

Yeah as a cubase user I will concede that most other recording programs are WAY less hassle to setup initially. I was very impressed with how Reaper just made use of what I/O I had available.
