audio recording

Post by tky »

hallo

i have scope project v4 and i want to records audio from my analogue console,

when i record in cubase (i have sx3) it records the files from the project with the audio (acoustic guitar direct to the consoles no mics used) i want to record.

i figured it is has something to do with asio.

u added more asio and tried to change the asio in and out in the cubase and than it didnt record anything.

can u please help me solve this problem???
debute album soon...

You have to follow the path which your audio streams need to follow.

From your analog mixer (mix-out?) to your hardware input (card's analog-in?), catched by (in this case) the Analog Source Module (presenting the analog hardware input) via the mixer to the ASIO Destination Module.
Choose the right ASIO input channel in SX3 to record from.

The trick is you need to isolate the audio you don't wanne record from the audio you do wanne record.
Normaly you use bus-outs or direct-outs of the mixer in SFP to split audio streams, you can route channels to mixer-internal busses and these to mixer-bus-outs to ASIO destinations, check the mixer's manual, it's quite clear.
Remember: you can not merge audio 'cables' at input stages, but you can split at audio outs...

welcom at the Z :-)

well the aux1 in my mixer is connected to the analog in.

u said "via the mixer to the ASIO Destination Module" at the moment it is routed as: analog source - IL1/IR1 and on the outputs of the mixer is mix L/R to asio dest 1L/1R

what i did earlier is adding some asio source and destination to isolate the audio signal flow from the audio that is already recorded in the SX project.

unfortunately it didnt work which means that something in my routing is wrong.

can u upload a suggested screenshot of how it should be done????

i couldnt find the bus out / direct out section in the scope mixer.

and about the manual ... the problem is that my mixer is beringher ub1832 (yeah yeah i know) and the manual is very "thin" if u know what i mean.
so what i tried to to is to send the signal via aux 1,2 and to seperate it from the rest of the signal that way. (and it didnt work)

thanks for your help

glad to be here :)

the manual of the Scope mixer, you bloody... :-D
In the 'real world' and also in the rest of the universe auxes are used for 'sends', hang typical send effects on it, like reverbs (sharing common channel-sends.
If you solo tracks and look at the meters of your Scope mixer, you can see what comes out where...isn't it?

If you use the mixer mix-out to record from, you'll get everything that's coming out of it, including the Cubase tracks that are routed to the Scope mixer.
Therefor I told you to use the busses or the direct outs of the mixer, to create a different (ASIO) path for the to record sounds...

edit: sorry, misinterpreted you partly.
If you use your external mixer's aux to record from, you have to input it to one of your Scope inputs separated from the input used for that Scope mixer's mix-out.
Create two 'lines', one for monitoring from your Scope mixer's out and one for recording in Cubase.
You also can cable the analog input directly to an ASIO destination channel, bypassing the mixer.

Summing; whatever (monitoring) setup you have, the message is: split monitoring and recording, use the Scope mixer to do this (busses) or cable directly.
