The Whole Scheme of Things

[MusicMan91]

If anyone can answer these questions I would greatly appreciate it:

So, basically you can just hook up USB to the Mac and it will work? My Card Reader seems to be working though. It shows up on my Desktop and voila, I click open the folder and there are the .wav file/s. Is Cubase simple to use? How do you open up the .wav files that you want to edit with Cubase? WHat version do you have again? And what is this about, on playback its sent back out to the mixer? Do you mean that on playback it is sent out ot an external hardware mixer? What do you mean by on playback, and what is the point of sending out back to an external mixer? I could see this route: Recorder->Mixer->Computer for Mastering, but Recorder->Computer for Mixing->External Mixer?? How would htat set up work, and why would it be beneficial? Also, is the Mass Storage by Apple a good thing to download, even if the Card Reader seems to be working properly? Thanks for all the comments.

Which of your 20 questions did you want answered? You might want to break it down into more specific questions in the appropriate forums. You might also want to peruse your manuals that also have all the answers.

I'll give it a go:

USB you hook up and it works. Yes. Wouldn't it be funny if none of it worked? Then people would be really screwed.

In cubase (I'm guessing here) go to file and open wav.

And what is this about, on playback its sent back out to the mixer?

I'm pretty sure you can assign in Cubase where the playback goes (outs of soundcards you have hooked up).

Do you mean that on playback it is sent out ot an external hardware mixer? What do you mean by on playback, and what is the point of sending out back to an external mixer?

Some people like mixing on outboard mixers instead of 'in the box.' Some like using external hardware devices instead of plug ins. Some like the 'analog sound' more than digital. Some like the character. Some like the hands on feel instead of mouse work. Tons of different reasons for this.

Playback is what is playing back. All of the .wavs you have opened summed to one, usually.

Also, is the Mass Storage by Apple a good thing to download, even if the Card Reader seems to be working properly?

I have no idea on this one.
