Really Need Help With Cubase, Can't hear it when I record Options

[coolguy4747]

I just got a Presonus Firepod w/ Cubase LE and I'm having several problems.

1) When I click the record enable button on a track, it doesn't stay on if I press the enable record button on a different track, does this mean it isn't on?

2) When I record something, I cannot hear it through the computer when I play it back, only through the firepod, is there a way I can change this?

3) Sometimes the sync light on the firepod turns red and the computer doesn't read it, how can I fix this?

//edit//
Now I fooled around with the audio/midi settings and now Cubase won't even recognize my firepod! ahh!!!!!

btw, in case it matters I'm on a 1.6ghz G5 with 512 RAM and OS 10.3.8

Any form of help at all would really be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

2 ways to record enable tracks:

1) If 'Enable record on selected track' is checked in preferences,
either to select consecutive tracks i.e. to select tracks 1,2,3,4:
select track 1 (the record button goes red) then shift/click track 4, all 4 tracks are record enabled, to select non consecutive tracks i.e. tracks 1,2, and 4:
select track 1 (the record button goes red) then apple key/click track 4, 1,2,4 are now record enabled.

however if you then click one of these tracks it will disable.

2) If you un-check 'Enable record on selected track' in preferences
you then just click the record button on each track you want to record on but you will also have to un-check them.

Different methods for different ways of working, if you do lots of multiple source recording (a miked up drum kit for example) then method 2 is best. If you just do one track at a time then method 1 is best.

If you want to use the computers built-in audio then you have to select it in devices/device setup/vst audiobay but why do you want to do this? Im sure the sound from your Presonus Firepod is much better! You can only use one audio device at a time unless you have audio devices that chain together (MOTU firewire devices for example).

I can't help with the sync light as I never used the Presonus Firepod.

If cubase still can't see the firepod go to devices/device setup/vst audiobay again and check its selected.
