[. . . ] Next, in the Start Menu, open Steinburg Cubase's "ASIO DirectX Setup". Check the box to the left of "Roland UA-1A Direct Sound" and press "OK". Then, open Steinburg's "ASIO Multimedia Setup". From the resulting Window select "Advanced Options". You will not be able to record or playback. Also, if you should unplug or turn off the unit while the software is running you will lose record and playback function until you restart the software. And, in some situations, you may experience errors, as some software is not programmed to deal with hot-swappable audio and/or MIDI devices. 8 General Troubleshooting If you should experience problems with audio or MIDI playback such as stuttering, distortion or timing issues, first consult pages 49­65. Try each suggestion, even if the symptoms of your problem are not exactly as described. Individual computers react differently to certain combinations of issues. Also, you may attempt to lower your display adapter's settings to determine if your video card is interfering with operation. First, in control panel double-click the "system" icon. The output can also be chosen manually in the Output section in the lower right. The left Source Select (in white) is what you hear from the speakers. The right Source Select (in red) is what you record. To help you understand the signal routing, there is a block diagram. Block Diagram · Open the Block Diagram by pressing the icon of the magnifying glass. Position the windows so that you can see both the mixer and the block diagram as much as possible. 10 With the block diagram you can trace the path of your signal from left to right. On the far right there are two gray boxes, the Record Selector and the Master Selector. You can route the signal so that what you record is different than what you hear. It is a common practice by most audio engineers to record a track "dry", or without effects added, so that you always have the choice to make a new mix from scratch, or to make changes to your current mix. If you recorded your vocalist with hall reverb, you would be committed to that choice. Recording your vocalist dry leaves you the most options. But the vocalist may prefer to hear their performance "wet", or with reverb (or other effects) applied. [. . . ] In the Compact Effects controller box, choose Filter. Under that, for the type of filter choose Stereo EQ (experiment later with Spectrum, Enhancer, and Humanizer). In Cakewalk record at least 3 tracks of MIDI. Record a drum track (chn. 10) pan center.
