Need help with cubase

[bauhaus77]

Before I begin, I have read and attempted to understand the basics of cubase, but I can't , for the life of me, register any sound from the vst instruments included with the program. Assuming that I have my audio interface set up correctly, what could be the source of this? I am thinking that my vst connections are not set up correctly. I begin by opening a new project, adding a new midi track, opening a vst instrument, and activating the instrument. However I am getting a message saying, "Your vst instrument is not connected". Exactly what does this mean? It has to be routed to a certain bus? I hope this makes a bit of sense. I realize it's such a "newbie" question.

Thanks,

Scott

The midi track needs to be "output" to the VSTi.

Yes, not 100% sure exactly how to do it right now, but it definately can do this. I think you can host reason as a VST instrument or something.

There is also a cubase forum, you will probabaly get more targeted responses there.

Look up "rewire" in your manual.

No. reason does not output midi. In a rewire setup, you can send midi to reason from cubase, but not the other way around. If you need to record the sequences you have in reason, you will need to record the audio via rewire.

Whatever midi pattern(s) you create in cubase, it will be played by the soft sampler or whatever from reason. each device in reason can have its individual track in cubase.
