Piano is recording fine.. but no vocal...im going "la la la"...but i guess there maybe things Im not doing . My brain hurts! HELP!
First post so please bear with me
Start a new project.
First off : your ASIO shoudn't be ASIO multimedia , it should be the one that came with the M-Audio drivers . Go into Devices\Device Setup\VST Audio Bay menu and select the M-Audio FastTrack Asio driver. Unselect Direct Monitoring. Check you have the required inputs and outputs using the next two menus below all point to the M-Audio Buses.
Next from the Project menu add a new Track - Audio
On the new track make sure the speaker icon is on ( coloured in )
Select the Mixer from the Devices menu
At the top othe the track make sure the input and output busses corespond to M-Audio Fastrack Asio ins and outs
Play something into your Fasttrack you should see the level meter move and hear the sound, if not save the project , exit Cubase and open the M-Audio Fasttrack control pannel as the problem is probably in there . You need to check that your headphones ( if you are using them ) are monitoring the correct output bus if it's configurable. Also check the levels in there. Reopen Cubase and the project you saved see if it worked.
