I have the Emu 1616m and have installed Cubase Essential.How do I create a template in Emu that utilizes/activates ALL inputs for simultanious recording and how in the world do you bring up each input up in cubase?
There are 4 unbalanced inputs on the back of the dock-BUT- there is only one channel strip for 1/L & 1/R and one strip for 2/L & 2/R. How could they make this any more difficult? I need to have each quarter inch input independent for sending to cubase don't I? I have read the manuals and just don't get it and I aint that stupid! I tried to set a template in the Emu software to activate all inputs simultaniously at all times and I am totaly discouraged...I don't believe I am at all concerned with SPDF, ADAT or MIDI-I just want to record vocals,bass,guitar and real drums.-Drums via the 4 quarter inch inputs on the back of the dock. SPDF,ADAT and WAVE come up alot in Emu. ON Top Of ALL OF THIS; When I do lay down tracks with the Emu template I have managed to create, I hear all tracks in all tracks even when soloing a track. I am sure this is a routing or setting issue because I had the same problem with the Cubase LE. If any of you have the time and knowledge to help this newbie out, I would be so very grateful.This is draining all of the fun out of creating but I really want to learn this and I am very thankfull for Recording review.
Sighned, Struggling like a Mo Fo.
