computer. We encourage you to perform the steps on your computer as you read
so that you become familiar with the process. The first tutorial only takes about
half an hour to complete, by which time you'll know how to make a multitrack
recording.

Before you Begin...

• You should hear the computer sounds coming out of the E-MU 0202 USB 2.0
and your speakers when you play a CD or an MP3 using Windows Media
Player. If not, make sure your E-MU 0202 USB 2.0 is properly connected
according to the diagram on
• A source of audio should be connected to the inputs (a microphone, musical
instrument, or CD/MP3 player).

Getting Started with Steinberg Cubase LE

Steinberg Cubase LE is a 24-bit, multi-track audio/MIDI sequencer with high-
quality effects, automation, virtual instruments (VSTi), and many other profes-
sional features.
The following step-by-step tutorials are designed to get you recording as quickly as
possible. After you have finished the tutorial we encourage you to read the Cubase
LE PDF manual in order to learn about the many features of this powerful
program.

1 - Setting up Cubase LE

Follow these instructions carefully to ensure that Cubase LE runs smoothly the first
time. Cubase LE will remember these settings, so you'll only have to do this once.
1. Open Cubase LE from the Start menu. An ASIO multimedia driver test dialog
box will pop up to ask if you want to run the ASIO test. Choose No, because
you won't be using the driver anyway.
2. Select New Project from the File menu.
3. Select Empty and click OK.
4. A Select Directory pop-up dialog box
will appear. Choose a location on your
hard disk where you want to store your
audio files, then click OK.
5. The Cubase LE Project window appears.
6. Select Device Setup... from the Devices
menu.
