sorry if this is in the wrong place .i am new to cubase and i have read many different tutorials and tried many different things , but can not get a recorded file to play back in cubase. i have a casio keyboard and a realtek sound card on pc.i can play songs(seems to auto convert them to WAV files), that are on my pc in cubase and metronome plays , but if i record a track with the casio it won't play back.the song appears in the the track and i can see the volume bars going up and down like there is sound present as it moves along the track but can't hear anything.i record it as a MIDI track and in project setup it is set to record as a WAV file , but it ends up making it a CPR file.if i select casio MIDI out in inspector it will play back through the keyboard. but it seems the only other option is GS wavesynth.3 ASIO drivers are available- full duplex , all 2.0 , or generic low latency . i have tried all drivers and all kinds of inputs and outputs and tried setting locators and exporting to convert CPR to WAV and WM files but they don't play in cubase or media player or anywhere else. also tried recording them as instrument and audio files but no luck.i'm ready to get a multitracker and monitors for guitar and such , but i want to see if this all works first.
 
If you want to record audio you need an audio interface, not midi OR you could create an instrument track and assign a VST synth to it and the midi data will play the synth.
 
so your sayin i can only play something on the keyboard and record it on an instrument track and then assign a cubase onboard synth or downloaded VSTI to it and it will play back? and with an audio interface or like a multitracker(as many of them act as both), it will play back even in MIDI ?keyboard is connected to pc via USB.
 
Ask your question in the Cubase forum. It's more specific and you've been there before, or so my spies reliably inform me..........
 
When you record something midi, you are only recording the keystrokes. So, in order to hear it back, you need to send the recorded keystrokes to a sound module or soft-synth and choose the sound you want to hear the parts played back through.

If you want to record audio, you need to come out of the audio outputs of your keyboard (or the headphone output if it doesn't have dedicated line outputs) and plug that into the line input of your soundcard and record it on an audio track.

midi is not audio and it can not be converted to a wave. MIDI records the keystrokes.

Record the same stuff in an instrument track, then assign some VST such as Cubase's Halion Synth, the preset that you want, and then you'll be able to hear it, it may not be the best solution, since you're not actually recording the sound of your CASIO, but its a good simple way to keep recording while you find the way that best works for you
 
thanks , i think i understand better now, will give it a try.
