No Audio In Cubase

[savant421]

Hello everyone! Here's my gear list!
Cubase 4
Presonus Firestudio
DFHS 1.0 (looking to goto Superior 2.0, asking for advice)
Studio Projects B1, C3, T3 & VTB1 tube pre
Presonus Eureka comp/pre
Adam A7 monitors
Sennheiser 421
Shure SM57 & 58
Tons of plugins (Wave Diamond Bundle, Antares AVOX2)

Having trouble with signal not always transferring from Firestudio to Cubase. Can see signal on Firestudio but doesn't show up in Cubase. Noticed USB cards aren't good, took that out. Running AMD X2 4800 w/Abit KN9 SLI mobo. Could this be bad?

Also can't get audio from DFHS in Cubase. Ideas?

Recorded original called "Come to An Understanding" that needs vox. Will post when done. Also recorded acoustic version of Maiden's "Wasted Years"

Thanks for all your help!

Assuming your installed your Firestudio correctly and you don't have a chipset conflict, this sounds like a routing issue. Are you positive you have the routing for each track setup correctly?

That is probably a routing issue to. The source of your problems appears to be in the F4 screen.

Can I get a sample routing setup? I'm clueless when I comes to this. Thanks!

I'd start with importing a wav file that works in media player into Cubase. Hit play. In the routing menu (F4) make sure the outputs are routed to the outputs of your audio interface. That should take care of it. It should be that simple assuming that the audio file plays correctly in Media Player.

The inputs work the same way. You want to route the inputs from your audio interface into Cubase (F4 again). Then on each track you need to select the correct input.

All of this is in the Getting Started Manual in Cubase.

Yep, sounds like a routing issue. I still mess up sometimes and forget which input is going to which track. I'll be pulling my hair out and then realize that the mic may be plugged into channel 6 on the board, but I have it routed a bit differently so that it's named input mono 2 or something...

Is it just me or is the learning curve with Presonus/Cubase combo really high?

When I went with a Presonus Firestudio, I followed the directions and was rocking in about 5 minutes. It took longer to screw it into the rack than it did to install it.

Recording software always takes time but I did fine when I followed the getting started guide.
