Just got an updated LE, can't figure out device setup

[FunkyDrumz]

Hey guys! I'm glad to be in a specific Cubase forum!

I recently installed an updated version of Cubase because the old one would no longer install on my Mac. I'm running a firepod with it, and I used to have no problem running the device setup.

But as of now, I am not able to follow the instructions in my manual to configure the device because the program has been changed a bit. My main problem is that I am not able to assign an input for each mic, which puts a demise on multi-track recording.

Can you guys help me out? I am running Cubase LE 4, Macbook Pro, Firepod.

Thanks a lot!

Have you looked under Device Management/Multitrack Setup? There you can select your device and once it is configured with the correct driver, I would think you would be on your way?

Also on the devices are the VST Inputs settings - make sure you can see all of your Firepod ports are there. You can rename them from here as well.

Idk on cubase 4 but in LE 1 you go to Devices-Device Setup - VST Multitrack : then select presonus ASIO under the driver drop down.

This is how I setup on my XP machine running LE 1.10.101 so I don't think I should have changed too much Steinberg likes to keep things similar (this may have changed after the buyout by Yamaha)

I can second what odd says. That is exactly the setup I am running and that is how I did it.

My drummers dad just gave me his old cubase 4 licence (upgraded to proTools) and that is how I set it up. The multi channel setup is alittle different you go to conections and make subgroups and such then add the inputs

That is a hell of a gift. Enjoy. I have just ordered the Studio version, which was only $199 b/c I am a night student in college and got the educational version. The full on 4 version is like $899 or something. Sweet.

I know he almost gave me sonar back when all I had was my GNX4. He lost his big studio when he moved so I might have to give it back when he builds out his new studio . Now he's just running out of a little M-audio while his huge 16 channel rack is in storage. I'm gonna take advantage of this as long as I can, although his studio was much nicer and I didn't have to worry about cleaning it.

Uh. Since when has Pro Tools been an upgrade from Cubase?

And with that...out come the angry Cubase fans, villagers with torches in their hands, all

Seriously, because of Pro Tools position in the industry, I think the majority still believe it is the best you can get. I know I did only until about a month ago, when I started researching which DAW was the way to go. Your forum here convinced me to go to Cubase, even though I personally knew Sonar, Ableton and Acid Pro users all telling me that their system was the best. The number one issue for me with PT was the hardware limitations.

Which industry? Pro recording or home recording?

This is unfortunate. I can't recall ever saying Cubase was "the best". There are many great options. However, my experience with Cubase SX3 has be great!
