Could someone please give me a step by step instructions to record a guitar to cubase? I have the signal going into the mixer on pulsar but cannot route it to cubase

try and get the signal to an ASIO destination module (depending on the SFP mixer, via direct out or master, or whatever, ...), then in cubase, make sure all your asio settings are correct (enabled, routed to the desired channel). normally, you would have the cubase master going out through ASIO 1/2... in SFP connect the ASIO source to your output/mixer. just make sure that this incoming ASIO signal doesn't create a feedback loop (Asio going back to cubase). you'll notice should this be the case

I am now stoned and depressed I cannot figure this out???????? to get rid of the feedback do I turn down the track channel in cubase while recording

there are several options:

use the 'high end' SFP mixers (1632,2448), so you can get your guitar signal out via the direct outputs. now you have the option to include or not this signal in the final output of the mixer (maybe best to leave it out for sound qualities sake)

when using the smaller mixers (no direct out per channel), you'll have to use the master output to feed asio dest, be sure to mute the channel (in SFP) which has the signal coming from cubase while recording.
you can also connect the asio source directly to your outputs. it would look something like this:

guitar>input module>mixer>asio dest>CUBASE>asio source>output module (analog/spdif/adat...)

it's not a good thing to smoke when being down... emotions will be fortified, for the good and the bad

use it when being in high spirit.

There will be an option in cubase to mute the output of channels when recording.

Another suggestion is RTFM *before* you get stoned! Worked for me.

Yes, RTFM was the only way for me too, to learn the first steps into Cubase and pulsar. I'm only a musician with a very small technical knowledge, but I think I could learn! Of course, in this great forum I got so many solutions and suggestions. But the basic knowledge about routing, recording, midi<->audio etc. you can get with your manuals. "Try and error" is not the best way with this software, the joy will be lost soon.
Anyway, here you find so many people who will help you.
Good luck, Thomas
