Since everyone - especially Brandon - has been so good with questions, I'm going to ask a couple more.
Now that I've had that problem of 2 souncards sorted out, here's what I did to make sure I would continue on a straight path. I uninstalled the Sound Blaster and actually removed the hardware, so there's no way there'll be any mixup on any level. Now I have only my Delta AP on board, and Cubase is working fine. I can record, listen, etc. I also discovered that Finale has a synth (which I believe either Brandon or someone else suggested it must have, in an earlier post). The synth uses a font, so I just routed it to the best font I have, which I was using with the Sound Blaster. Now I get playback in Finale without the Sound Blaster, which is great!
The only thing is - and this is kind of interesting - I am unable to input to Finale. I don't know why. I'm going to check and see if Finale is the only other program that won't take input, or whether it's other programs as well, besides Cubase. Cubase works fine - I can input OK - I just have to make sure that the Delta Control page is set to the right parameters. But this setup, for some reason, doesn't work with Finale. I've been looking at the possibility of using virtual cables, such as Hubi's Midi Loopback Device, because it would seem that Finale isn't registering the input through the Delta Control Panel.
Other than that, I feel pretty confident about just about everything else on my system. Would appreciate any input. I've been studying all about signal routing, so whatever I learn here will be advantageous.
Thanks.
Mike.
