Cubase le 4 help! OPEY PLZ ENTER asap!

[.Bullet.]

So ive got a rhode nt1a mic and a lexicon lambda amp. ive been trying to mess around with this prgram for a few hours, ive read and setup the project from the "getting started" manual, but then theres another manual for the operations that says i have to setup something else er w.e


but my problem is everything is hooked up and working and being registered by the amp and the program, but i can only hear the intrumental through the amp and the headphones that are plugged into the amp. but no music is being played out of my laptops speakers.)actually real cpu speakers, i just plug them into the slot where your suppose to plug your hd phones to listen to music)

and also, i found this unbelievable weird, that the manual did not show me how to setup the things i need to record "my voice" in a track, i mean it showed how to setup to add the instro just not vocals.


and also, do i setup the intro track im using in mono 1? and the vocals stereo 1 aswell. and what busses do i set them too.

i know this is alot of information to help me with, but if somecan can shed some light on me it would be much apreciated.

thanks.

put the instru in stereo as well as ur vocals... i onno y u should put them in mono

for the rest.. i dont know

[.Bullet.]

lol because the manual said put the intros in mono 1.

Ok first of all, you don't record vocals to a stereo track. Mono is ONE channel. Stereo is TWO channels. One mic plugged into one pre amp is one channel. Vocals = Mono. An instrumental is stereo. It has a left and a right channel. That's 2 channels. Very simple concept.

Also, your Lambda is your soundcard. Not your built in laptop soundcard. You need to plug your speakers into the lambda.

ok on the lambda theres 2 whole to plug in, 1 for instruments and 1 for hd phones, now i would plug my speakers into the hd phone section on it im assuming, would i put the hd phones into the insert slot on the actualy speakers themself?

[Opie M.]

What? Dude you have a bunch of INS and outs on the back. The speakers plug into the line outputs.

[.Bullet.]

LMAO hold on bro, ok im looking at the back of it rite infront of me as we speak, it has at the top " line in- 1 and 2" underneath that "insert- 1 and 2" insert 1 is for mic 1 and insert 2 is for mic 2. then at the bottom i got " line out- 1 and 2" but these dont fit my hd phones, but i got a connector that will make it fit, so insert 1 for mic 1 i would put them in at the back?

[.Bullet.]

or should i plug the speakers into insert 1 for mic 1 in the back of it?

[Opie M.]

Dude. I said plug the speakers in the line outputs in the back. How did you get "plug the headphones into insert" ???? Lmfao

plug the speakers... Into line out 1 and 2. Plug the headphones into the headphone Jack in the front lol

[.Bullet.]

o my bad bro, its because on insert 1 theres a line going rite to mic 1 and insert to theres 1 going to mic, so i thought that where it is, but its cool, thanks.


keep looking in here every so often im sure ill have a few more questions

[.Bullet.]

wait hold on. my speakers im using are cpu speakers like a said not monitors, so there is only 1 wire attaching all of them together, and in line out there not numbered, they lettered L and R left and right, where would i plug into from there? or either one?

[Opie M.]

You'll need an Y adapter. 1/8" stereo female to two 1/4" mono male. Try radioshack or google it.
