Basic Recording
The following step by step tutorials are designed to get you recording as quickly as
possible. After you have finished the tutorials we encourage you to read the Cubasis pdf
manual in order to learn about the many features of this powerful program. We have
provided special PatchMix DSP Sessions, as well as a Cubasis Recording Template Song
to go along with the following tutorials.

Recording into Cubasis

Follow these instructions if you have an 0404 system and Cubasis is installed on your
computer. In this tutorial, we'll assume you're using just a single input or pair of inputs.
For more advanced recording, refer to the Cubasis manual.
To use PatchMix with Cubasis, you must have 4 basic components in PatchMix:
a) a physical input strip for your input source.
b) a send from this strip to an ASIO input so that Cubasis can receive your input.
c) an ASIO output strip for Cubasis to output its audio through.
d) an output assigned to any physical output.
