Not to be rude or anything, but a good place to start is to read the manual. The Scope-system isn't exactly plug and play, and you need to learn the basics of the system in order to do what you are asking.

Have you chosen the "ASIO Scope" in cubase?

Have you routed the asio connections and the analoque connections correct in the Scope-routing window?

Show us a screenshot of the routing window and a description of exactly what you are trying to achive and we will be able to help you.

Don't give up, it will all make perfect sense in due time :smile:

The two software-packages you are talking about are some ways the same driver just different version = only one of them will work at a time.
So the first place to start is to uninstall all Creamware related up until now. Then you go to Creamware's site and download, as suggested, SFP version 3.1c, or maybe even Scope v4.0 (I can't remember if this is/was a free update), but version 3.1c should work just fine in your case.

Hope this helps.

well, what are you sending to the recorder on what path?

just like with a real mixer and recorder, if you send the mix out into the recorder everything will be recorded. the equipment doesn't read your mind to know what you want to record. you must use busses(on the stm2448 or 4896) or direct outs or connect the source to the recorder directly.

a hint, any output can feed multiple inputs. inputs can only connect to one output, however.

there's always the manual...

routing in scope is the same as routing real hardware. it is virtual reality. the routing window is an imaginary room that, although 2d, follows the same rules and logic as gear in your real studio room.

the mixers have the usual connections...

cubase, as a sequencer, is just a recorder, like a multitrack tape machine. cubases audio jacks(a tape deck has jacks, no?) are the asio modules. you can right click on the asio source module and choose settings and the determine how many ins and outs cubase has. this step must be done before you open cubase. when cubase opens it "sees" how many of what type ports are available and configures itself accordingly. for midi, the sequencer midi source and dest modules provide i/o "jacks" for the program....

there ARE some suggested projects for using cubase in the manual and on these forums, but please, don't be afraid to customize for your needs and experiment!

it WILL take a minute to get your head wrapped around the logic involved, but the effort is way worth it....
