im quite familiar with cubase, with the college macs anyway, but i got cubasis with my soundcard for my pc and im having set up problems. it just doesn't seem to register a microphone. i have my mic connected to a p.a., which is connected to the soundcard. everything is plugged in correctly, but cubasis seems to think i only have one input, when i have four. i don't think it is registering my sound card, but i have no idea how to set this up.

any help much appreciated.
 
Are you getting any sound from cubasis? Will it record and playback on the one input it thinks you have? Have you tried the manual for telling you how to set this up? You might want to try the mixer section of your soundcard and make sure you have line-in selected for recording. Also check the windows volume control and make sure nothing is muted.
 
i am getting sound from cubasis, from the click track anyway. nothing is muted on windows and i think the soundcard is set up correctly, im getting sound through the speakers when i use the microphone.
 
please, if anyone has any idea what the problem is can they share their thoughts, this is very frustrating, i have everything ready just my microphone doesn't want to work with cubasis. it works fine with cool edit, its probably something in the set-up i havn't done. i am just getting no signal at all with cubasis...sound is coming from the moniters but nothing is showing up on the program.
 
there is a input menu in the panal toolbar, and when you go to inputs. my guess is that the certain line in is not lit up in green or the analog mixer is not selected, hope that helped
 
what soundcard is it? I'm guessing an aardvark product. THe problem most likely is the asio setup for cubase. Its kinda of a seperate programbut its in the same folder as cubase. make sure your soundcard has a X by it, and you may just have to mess around with the settings.
 
my soundcard is a creative audigy 2 z5...anybody any more ideas, ive tried all the suggestions and thanks but its still not working...i have no manual btw because the software came with the soundcard.
 
I went looking at steinbergs website for a manual for you, and it appears that they don't have the pdf on the site anymore since they have shifted from cubasis into other products.

It sounds like this is an issue of getting your soundcard recognized in the right way inside cubasis. If I were you, I would go to steinbergs wesite and look at the pdf for Cubase SL. If they have the getting started manual for it in pdf that is where I would start. While they are seperate programs, I would think there is a good chance that the method of setting up your soundcard in the program would be similar enough it might solve your problem. The only other suggestion I have is to look at every single menu option you have in Cubasis and poke around until you come to something that looks like it deals with setting up your system and soundcard.

Good luck.
