I just recieved my new edition of cakewalk home studio 2004. I am trying to use it with my tascam us 428. I have no idea how to get started. There is nothing in the manual about the Tascam. I called cakewalk before I ordered home studio 2004 and asked if it worked with the us 428 and they told me it would. The software runs a wave profiler upon installation. It recognizes my sound card for audio input, and the tascam for midi input. I disabled the soundcard, and the wave profiler then recognized the us 428 for audio input. The software will not recognize the tascam as a remote. In other words, none of the controls on the tascam control anything. When I tried to record my electric guitar plugged into the "D" input of the Tascam, I had the tascam C input selected as the input in track properties, adjusted the trim on the tascam so it was getting signal (but not too much) , used the record button from the pulldown menu, recorded for about 5 seconds, rewound, and tried to playback, I got nothing. My computer is a compaq presario with a 2.4 ghz processor, 512 mb of RAM, and a 80gb hard drive. I tried to listen to the playback back through the tascam with headphones. This setup worked with cubasis that came with the tascam, but i had a lot of dropouts witht he cubasis and thought that new software would help with that. Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful. Also, I know this is the cakewalk forum, but I have a version of cubase 5.1 but I dont have a manual. Does anyone know where I could get a manual for it online?
