Newbie saying hello, etc...

Hello folks

I'm a guitar player using Cubase SX 1 and an old SBLive!Value card for a couple of years, and I've just installed kX to see what it's like.
Well... it knocks the Creative driver into a cocked hat, that's for sure...

I can't get Cubase to see any signal (surely ASIO / kX DSP setup problem), which I suppose is standard for ignorant newbies

. I don't want to start asking the same questions you've heard a million times already - can someone just point me to a FAQ page somewhere?

Thanks a lot...

Doh!

It finally sank through my thick head that I was recording in mono, on the right side only... OF COURSE nothing would happen in Cubase on "Audio 1", which is a left channel.... :shame:

I do have a question which I haven't seen mentioned here... How do I disable the monitoring of the signal that's being recorded in Cubase??? (I want to monitor it with fx, just via my mixer, whilst recording a dry signal)

Thanks for any help you can give me

hmm monitor w/ fx, record dry signal… i kno logic does that… but for cubase you may have to set 2 audio channels to get audio from the same source, one w/ fx and one recording… hopefully that works.
Or maybe look for an option called non-destructive recording if there is one.(This function is what you are describing)

Thanks for replying :up:
In fact, by trial-and-error playing around in the DSP window I got what I wanted... It isn't a Cubase function, really - it's a card thing, and in fact the main reason why I changed from the Creative driver.
So now I can record a dry signal, which doesn't appear at the card's output during recording, whilst bathing in the luxury of reverb and stuff via the aux send of my (hardware) mixer. Wonderful!
I have to say that kX rocks!!

And thanks for the getting starting link...

I had the same problem as you, and I just got it working. This is my experience:

- On the mixer AC'97 page, the recording source should be "line in" (or whatever you want to record) and the volume knob should be all the way down.
- On the mixer in- and output page, AC'97 input should be turned on.
- On the recording page, seems like this page doesn't matter at all. (Maybe the ASIO recording doesn't pass through this page.)
- And the final thing: in the DSP, make sure you disconnect the two AC'97 input from the prolog to the xrouting.
