Ok Ive never really recorded stuff before but I know a few things.
Basicly I have cubase SX 1.01 and I want to D.I. my guitars through my Line6 flextoneII (the phones out double up as a D.I.) How do I do this, how can I D.I. into my PC. I have an ok PC, but I read soundcards are an issue when it comes to recording, I have the stock one still which is a MME nvidia(R) Nforce(tm) audio (.... I think) But in preferences I can also select ASIO multimedia driver??? Im lost on this stuff.
Help me make semi-decent recordings guys!

Feb 17, 2005 12:26 pm Thanks! This may sound retarded but my soundcard is in my PC which 'in' do I plug into on my PC?
Feb 17, 2005 12:33 pm the black one if it's color coded, look at it real carefully, it'll have an arrow pointing twards the center with circular rings around it
NOT the one with a pic of a microphone!!!!
Feb 21, 2005 10:44 am Hey, I got started and got good signal and levels but now every time I record a new track through line in it records the playback as well as the guitar. So every time I hit record on a new track it records everything going trough the sound card, so like if im tracking to a click beat that will end up on the recording and so on until every track is quadroupled!!!! Is there a way around this, or is it just that im using a really basic setup?
Feb 21, 2005 10:56 am If you're using an amplifier to monitor with when you do 2nd & 3rd tracks, and you've got a live mic in the room, kill the monitor volume and use headphones. If you're already using headphones or just the DI, make sure you're not "record enabled" on the playback tracks. If it's none of the above, things get slightly complicated. Let us know.
Feb 21, 2005 11:17 am Hmmmmm basicly I have to monitor out of my main speakers I guess. When I click monitor in cubase I just get a massive loop build up until the noise is out of control (slow feedback basicly) If I go through the phones port on my PC its the same deal as I guess it all goes through my 1 sound card. My setup is real basic you see, PC and the speakers and stuff that came with it, im going through the line in with my Line6 DI (which defeats its own speakers) Ummm Unless theres some box somewhere un-checked somewhere on my computer I guess I may need a better setup?
Feb 21, 2005 02:00 pm Possibly. Your sound card may not be capable of true duplex (or whatever that term is for simultaneous playback and recording). I'm still not quite catching what happens, tho, when you're recording. I'm not familiar with your software, either.
Are you getting another track, an exact copy of the 1st track (in the software), in addition to what you are recording on the 2nd track? You then end up with 3 tracks instead of 2? Then if you add a 3rd recording, do you get another exact copy of the 1st track & and exact copy of the 2nd (for 7 tracks instead of 3?), and so on ad infinitum? -OR- Are you getting the 1st track you record, recorded again with the 2nd track, in that 2nd track? And if you add a 3rd track, you then get the 1st track & and the combined 1st & 2nd track, in with the 3rd track? Sort of like an undesired sub-mix?
1st recording, record-enable the track your going to use, and it only. Be sure ALL mute & solo buttons are off on each track. Record your track. Use your headphones, plugged into the line-out of your soundcard, to monitor your 1st track as you record the next. Record-enable the 2nd track, and it only. Be sure you've dis-abled record on track 1. Record your 2nd track. You should hear the 1st track and 2nd together in your cans, but not be combining them in the software. After you've recorded the 2nd track, mute the 1st and be sure they are separate. Do NOT feed your sound card to the interface, or that'll do a feedback loop, also.
Feb 21, 2005 02:13 pm start menu > control panel > volume control
options > click RECORD
make sure the "what you hear" is not selected

Feb 21, 2005 04:06 pm whosyourdaddy You deliver once again :D I selected line in.
Jmail to cut a long story short it was recording the monitor output as well as what ever i was going to put in the track.
Track 1 = Fine
Track 2 = Track 1 + whatever i was going to put there anyway
Track 3 = Track 1,2 and what i would put on 3
But whosyourdaddy hit the nail on the head.
Sorry for being a noob at this stuff.
