Hi MD,
Thanks for the pointer!
I'm an electronics technician/songwriter so I can generally work things out on the techno buzz words front, but I haven't got a lot of experience on the Terratec control panel.
I have made it work and recorded with it quite a bit, but I need to read up on what all the control sections actually do and what they apply to.
I am conversant with master /slave stuff etc but I am not really clear about the difference in 'Analogue inputs' and 'Digital Mixer' etc...
I take it that the 'analogue inputs' are referring to when you input say, up to 8 live instruments via a 'real' mixing desk to the 8 inputs of the breakout box?.
Of course, the breakout box inputs are 'mapped' in the 'VST Connections' section, in Cubase under the DEVICE menu...
As for the 'Digital Mixer' section - I am a little puzzled here.
Is this for mixing the output of synths - none analogue signals?
I guess in that case, I would have to select the Digital Mixer option to record
them separately?
I will have to get swatting on this, and I will certainly consult the info you have pointed out to me, but I am thinking that it's a complete 'overview' of the cards control sections in English that I need.
What we all need is answers in plain English not techno speak - as has been highlighted by our glorious system overlord in his introduction. lol
Songwriting is a doddle, but this stuff takes some thinking about - it's very satisfying when you understand and apply it though.
I am very pleased that I finally got the card sorted and working late yesterday - I had not got the exact right driver for XP(64) - I had heard of XP Home, XP Pro etc but not that!
I only noticed because of a sticker on the machine! lol
I have also been sorting 2 other computers out with a lot of help from my tech pals here, and getting into drives, formatting etc.
I will have pretty much also finished my songwriting site tomorrow when the captcha is sorted - (
Homepage) and I will get my little studio working a lot better than it ever has tomorrow.
After that I will probably start sending some current recordings to get opinions on my budding production skills I have to develop now.
I have Cubase SX3 and Reason 4, so I should be able to do some stuff good enough to at least continue at demo level recordings.
Any comments MD?
Thanks for your help!
