I just purchased a Tascam US-428 and it comes with Cubasis and I'm an Acid user and I want to be able to use it to import loops into Cubase and I understand it is possible. Any help for a newb on getting started with Cubase will be great.
Thanks,
Bill
 
Gee, that would take a book.

In fact, there's a bunch of them at your local bookstore....
 
Any suggestions on a book that would be the easiest to use?
 
I dont know of any books on Cubase but to import loops it's at the top, File, import wav.
 
Good basic book for home recording and setting up a home studio (a must!):

Good book on Cubase:

Most Borders or Barnes&Nobles have the Cubase books. Go grab a cuppa coffee and flip through them in the cafe. But get the Home Recording book above; you'll save a LOT of time, frustration and money by learning the basics without trial-and-error....
 
Thanks for the advice. I have seen all of those books before.
 
If you mean that you want to import a completed song or loop pattern that was created in Acid then do the following

From Acid just select file, render as and select a file name and location to save it as a stereo wav file.

In Cubase start a new project, set it to the same tempo as the acid mixdown then on a new audio track select file, import audio and select the wav file to import.

If you mean that you want to use Acid loops within Cubase to create a song, then I'm not sure you can do that with the version of Cubase that is packaged with the Tascam. Only Cubase SX 3 is capable of doing that.

Hope that helps.
 
I bought a 224 and I had to upgrade the software almost right away, the bundled stuff will start to limit you very fast, of course I got cakewalk, but I'm switching back to Cubase when I get my mac for school
 
Cubase SX Ignite! and Cubase SX Power are both good for getting you up and running.
