im recording each side of a cassette tape onto cubase as one audio track then mixdown that track
and export it to wavelab to be divided per song and burn to cd

i did it for the side A
but when i try to do the same for side B there is no graphic representation of the mixdown on the mixdowned track eventhough it went to the process of creating it (i.e Blue bar of progress)
all i get is just 2 flat lines (death) no sound

Can someone tell me what my other hand touched

Thanks
 
record directly from the stereo ? im trying to do that thru the manual
 
What are you using for recording the cassette? It sounds like a panning issue.

this is confusing? you have both wavelab and cubase on the same computer, right?

assuming that's the case - you can set wavelab up to record via the same interface that you are using to import your stuff into cubase...

on to your other point - when you play side b of the tape - are you getting levels in your recording program? what soundcard are you using?
 
i do see the levels when i record side b
i have a Q10 for soundcard

this is how i'm recording from the stereo

got a 1/4" going from the headphone jack on the receiver to 1 input in the soundcard
i record the sound from the soundcard into cubase as an audio track

this process worked for both side a and side b on 2 tapes

the bump is at mixdown
i did turned it down very low you think that could be a cause

i got one thing to check: the Background release

thanks for the replies

Guidance
 
I know you probably have already thought of this and retryed everything, but did you make sure that when you went to mixdown that the locaters were set right?

Once I had them backwards so it looked like they were in the right spot, but the L locater was at the end of the song and the R was at the start. It resulted in flatlines if I remember right.

Another thing is making sure that you have the right boxes checked in the mixdown box that pops up before it processes it, ie: the mixdown what is between the locaters box and stuff.

I hope I understand your problem right, sorry if I didn't and this doesn't apply to you. :p

Just to make sure here..

You are in fact using a "stereo" cable to get into your soundcard right?

How can you get a stereo signal into a single input on the Q10?

Are you setting up your recording software's track to record stereo?
