Recording with Cubase SX

Charmour · Jun 2, 2006, 09:55 PM

Im using the kX Driver version 3534f. I want to make my own DSP configuration and tryed something. Here is my DSP http://www.bilder-hosting.de/img/ZIAC2.jpg. And i want to record my Vocals with Cubase SX i tried to configure but i couldnt do that. Can you say me how i must setup Cubase SX and the DSP to record my Vocals. Please help me please.

I have wired prolog in0/in1 to epilog aiso0/asio1. And i choosed on Cubase SX by Inputs In00 and In01, by Outputs the same. But i cant get a signal from the Mic.

Depending on which card you have, ASIO 4/5 may be a better choice (ASIO 1/2 is not useable on some card models).

To actvate the MIC inputs on prolog, you need to unmute the AC97 slider on the 'Ins and Outs' page of kxmixer, and select the MIC as the AC97 Source (select in the dropdown box) on the 'AC97' page of kxmixer. The first you should do, is connect a peak meter to the top 2 pins of prolog, and make sure you can see the MIC signal there, as if you do not get a signal there, then you will not get it in Cubase.

BTW: A better/easier option would be to use ProFX : ADC rather than prolog.

Beyond the above, search the forum for Lemury's (Lex) guide on 'How to setup Cubase SX with KX', and his guide on 'How to setup your own DSP'.

Ok, i tried your hints i have now a signal from the mic but the signal is very low here you can see that in the picture. http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/5448/kx9ff.jpg
But i dont think so that my DSP settings are right for recording.

Yes it works!

I cant explane were the fault was, but i put my mic cable in the mic in of my soundcard again and it worked. But i have a one problem, if i speak in the mic i can hear my voice from the speakers, how can i disable that? My current DSP settings are these http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/5448/kx9ff.jpg

Mute the MIC slider on the right hand side of the ADC window (click the little blue button. above the MIC boost button), and adjust the appropriate MX6 slider, so that it is muted there as well.

BTW: If you want to increase the volume of the MIC, use the slider(s) on the left hand side (L/R Rec Gain) of the ADC window. Also, you do not need the Peak plugin when using ADC, since it has one built in.

I noticed you are using ProFX : ASIO and not epilog. You do not have to worry about the thing with ASIO 1/2 with that plugin (you can use any pins on that plugin), but you still need to be aware of the ASIO mapping issue. See Lex's guide for info on that, and how to map between the ASIO pins in the DSP, to the ASIO inputs in Cubase (or any ASIO host for that matter).
