You will be able to hear your input signal, and you can regulate it on your audio interface, mixer, POD, depending what you use.



In the transport bar (the image) on the far right there are two indicators, the one where the two green dots are is input level meter, and next to it is output, the general rule is that the both of them have to stay in green color:)

So, the input level is regulated before signal arrives to Cubase, and the output is regulated in Cubase Mixer

I hope that I understood well your question smile.gif

i guess i understand you Dejan
in fact that i dont have my toneport ux 1 yet i have to regulate the incoming signal over the amp, right ?
when i get the toneport i can regulate the signal with it

am i getting you ?

another question according speed of a backing
i tried to change the speed of a backing but it always jumped back to the original speed
is this in general possible to change the speed of a ready recorded backing track ?
and if yes, should i change the speed first and then import the backing ?

You are right, the input signal can be regulated on your guitar volume pot, pedals, amp and also in Windows Mixer, whn you switch to Recording option.

About the speed of backings

Speed of backings in mp3, wav or other audio formats cannot be changed by changing the tempo of Cubase project, it can only work with backings in MIDI format.

For that purpose I use "Time-stretch" VST plugin to slow down or speed up a backing

1) To set up your connections in Cubase first press F4 for the "VST Connections" Window (Picture 1). There you can choose what kind of outputs and inputs you have. I have Toneport so you can see two inputs there "SEND 1" and "SEND 3". You may have different names for inputs. Here you choose your "input bus" like this:

- Click on the button "add bus". There you can add input in the Cubase mixer.
- Add one mono bus, rename it to "INPUT NUMBER 1" for example
- On the right you can see the name of your soundcard/interface, and the name of the input that your soundcard sends via ASIO driver to Cubase (picture 2). CHoose the input here that you plugged your guitar into on the soundcard.

2) Now create one audio mono track, and open main mixer in Cubase by pressing F3:

- TO the left you will see the "INPUT NUMBER ONE" bus and next to it to the right there is one "audio track 01" that we created.
- On the top of the audio track choose the INPUT NUMBER ONE bus as your input for the audio track. (Picture 3) Now the track will record whatever you plugged in to that bus.

3) You can fine tune your input sound by entering to the "input channel settings". Press the little "e" button (picture 4)

- On the last picture you can see VST input channel settings window for "INPUT NUMBER 1" bus that we created. There you can adjust the volume of the input, choose EQ settings, or choose some plugins to process the sound right away. Normally you should only adjust the volume here, and later do the processing.

THX for the answers Dejan

you mean "Time stretch" can also handle just MIDI files ? or is this also working with WAV or MP3 formats ?
dont think so ......

Press the "tempo" sign on the transport bar to change to "fixed" mode. Than the tempo will change.

Also you can draw custom tempo in the "track" mode by pressing ctrl+t

Time stretch can work only with audio files (mp3, wav), while project tempo works with MIDI

What is it the format of your backing?

I didn't quite understand mate, could your rephrase a bit please? You record guitar, and you can hear the backing recorded as well on that track? You probably haven't done the connections setup very well. What sound card do you have, and what input do you use?

it's just toneport has a really bad manual.... I did the same, Kaz did the same, now you... you've made it wrong... toneport is a soundcard, put your speakers into this, not into your soundcard, in sound preferences set Line6 as primary sound device and you're done smile.gif

So describe your connections:
your guitar is connected to what? amp? or soundcard? and if to amp, did you played your backings through it, too? wink.gif

Maybe you turned via accident recording from a mic on, instead from line-in?.... this is weird....
