■ While using the MG mixer with Cubase AI 4
The system doesn't work
properly.
No sound.
The recorded sound is too
low in level.
❑ Are the USB cable and all necessary audio cables properly connected?
❑ Are you using a USB hub?
USB hubs can interfere with proper operation, so try connecting the MG mixer
directly to a USB port on the computer. If the computer has multiple USB ports, try a
different USB port.
❑ Are you using other USB devices at the same time?
If so, try removing the other device(s) and connecting only the Yamaha USB device.
❑ Is the output of your computer operating system muted?
❑ Do you have several applications running at the same time?
Be sure to quit all applications you are not using.
❑ Is the sound output of your computer operating system assigned properly?
