Thankyou for your help. I still wonder if there has to be a channel strip for each input for a template to work. I just don't understand why you can't find this info anywhere. Cubase says everything is fine with my settings and that the channel bleed over is in the Emu software settings and of course they only provide email support. All I really need to know is how to take each physical input to a track in cubase. Seems impossible at this point. This all I am after with this wonderful endeavor;
input mic line A to track one in cubase
input mic line B to track two in Cubase
input 1/L.........to track three in cubase
input 1/R.........to track four in Cubase
input 2/L..........to track five in cubase
input 2/R..........to track five in Cubase
The manuals speak nothing of the concept. this is not rocket science, is it? why don't they make this a bit more user friendly? Hey I'm not snapping at you..I am very grateful for your insight. Plus I saw where Brandon let a fella know he was'nt being too nice on here. So lets get this strait; I am nice and I am very thankfull for this web site..I am also very frustrated and depressed about all of the money I have sunk into this awesome computer and the Cubase and the Emu 1616m system only to have it sit there and be unusable to me. lots of $$$ on credit! Thankyou again kind helpers on Recording Review !!!!!!!!!!!
