Tutorials Introduction

Introduction
This guide contains step-by-step walk-throughs of basic recording operations using PatchMix DSP and a variety of popular software applications. We encourage you to perform the steps on your computer as you read so that you become familiar with the process. The rst tutorial only takes about half an hour to complete, by which time you should be comfortable with multitrack recording using your new Digital Audio System. Once youre up and recording, you can nd detailed information on all aspects of PatchMix DSP and your E-MU interface hardware in the pdf Owners Manual.
E Important Note: If you need additional help with the bundled applications, please see the Technical Support Information pdf located in the Creative Professional, Documents folder.

Before you Begin

You should have already installed the E-MU hardware and software on your computer according to the instructions in your printed Getting Started manual. You should hear the computer sounds coming out of the E-MU hardware and your speakers when you play a CD or an MP3 using Windows Media Player. If not, make sure your E-MU hardware is properly connected according to the diagrams in the Getting Started and Owners Manual. A source of audio should be connected to the inputs (instr./tape/cd/MP3 player).
The Product Default Session
Before we begin, you should verify that the Product Default session is selected. This session has everything connected for you. A Session is a stored connection/mixer setup. You can create your own custom Sessions later on if you wish.

Digital Audio System gain controls. If you are using the front panel Mic/Line inputs, adjust the input gain knobs as follows. If you cant get a proper level from the line inputs, open the PatchMix DSP, Session Settings by clicking the O button above the TV screen, then select I/O. If your input signal is too strong, use +4. If your input signal is too weak, use -10.

Record a Track

9. Press Record on the Cubase LE Transport control and start playing.

Return-To-Zero

Record
10. Press Stop when youre nished recording the rst track. 11. Press the Return-to-Zero button

on the Cubase Transport.

12. Press Play on the Cubase Transport to play back your track. The audio from Cubase
comes back into PatchMix on the ASIO Out 15/16 Strip.

Record Another Track

13. Press the Return to Zero button
14. Add another track by selecting Add Track, from the Project menu. Select Audio. 15. A new audio track is added. Notice that the red Record Enable button has been
automatically turned on in the new track. (If you wish to record multiple tracks simultaneously, simply turn Record Enable on for each track you wish to record.)
16. Again, set up the track to be either mono or stereo, then choose the Track Input
routing. The input can be the same one you used for the rst track or you can choose a different input.

Save your Project

17. Choose Save As from the Cubase LE le menu to save your project. Choose a
name and location that will make the project easy to nd later.
f A quick way to record additional tracks using the same input is to simply drag the Part (audio region) you just recorded down to another location in the Cubase Arrange window, then hit Record again and go.
To record into Cubase LE, you must have a PatchMix session containing these 4 basic components: a) a physical input strip for your input source. b) an ASIO Send on the physical input strip (so that Cubase can receive your input). c) an ASIO output strip for Cubase to output its audio back through PatchMix. d) an output assigned to any physical output (to your monitor speakers).
These diagrams may be helpful to visualize the signal routing path.

3 - Export Audio Mixdown to Stereo
At some point, youll want to mix down your multitrack project to stereo. Cubase LE has a special function (Audio Mixdown) that makes this job a breeze. The Cubase LE Project window below shows a short song with 4 stereo tracks recorded.
Locator Drag from here to here
1. Drag the Right Locator (little blue triangle) to the right. Keep dragging until the blue
Locator Bar encompasses the entire song or section you want to mix down. See above.

Mix your Song

2. From the Cubase LE Project window, select Mixer from the Devices menu (or press
F3). The Cubase LE Track Mixer appears.
3. Play your song and use the Faders to set the levels of each part. (Note: These moves
can be automated in Cubase LE. See the online documentation for details.)

Creating a Headphone Submix
A headphone submix allows you to create a special mix for the musician while recording. In the example below, a headphone submix has been created from the rst three strips in the mixer using the Aux 2 bus. The three strips are muted to prevent the audio from going straight through to the main mixthe submix send amounts now act as the level faders. A reverb effect has been inserted into Aux bus 2 before the Send to the headphone out.
E 1212m Owners. Although the 1212 only has 2 analog outputs, you can stll create a headphone mix using these instruction and send it to the S/PDIF or ADAT digital outputs.
These three strips are being submixed to Aux Bus 2 which feeds output 2L/2R. The strips are all muted and the output of Aux 2 is turned all the way down to block the audio from the main output.
To Create a Headphone Submix:
1. Create Pre-fader strips for the inputs you want to feed the headphone submix.
(Otherwise the Mute button will mute the Aux Send.)
2. Turn up the Aux Sends (for this example well use Aux 2) on the strips feeding the
headphone submix and mute the channel outputs as shown above.
3. Turn the Input Send Level Up on Aux Bus 2 (0 dB or higher). 4. Turn the Output Return Level Down on Aux Bus 2 (-132 dB). 5. Right-click on one of the Aux 2 insert locations and choose Insert Send (Output to
ASIO/WAVE or Physical Out) from the popup list.
6. Choose the desired Send Output from the list. Choose a pair of outputs for your
headphone submix such as DOCK Out 2L/2R
7. Click the Output button at the top of the TV screen to view the output assignments. 8. Disconnect the submix from the main or monitor mix if connected. 40 Creative Professional

About PatchMix DSP

PatchMix = Patchbay + Mixer
Its a simple concept. PatchMix is a patchbay for your computer, where any physical input or output (analog, S/PDIF, ADAT) can be connected to any HOST input or output (ASIO, WDM, WAVE). Strips = Inputs and Insert Sends = Outputs. Thats the Patch part of the name. Now add a simple mixer with two auxiliary sends and a bunch of effects. This lets you hear zero-latency effects while recording, a feat that no plug-in effect can match. Its a super-exible patchbay rst and a mixer secondPatchMix.

Too Much Power?

We included the PatchMix DSP mixer and powered effects because they allow you to do things that you cant do with any other sound card. Howeverplease do not be intimidated by PatchMix, because you DONT HAVE TO USE IT unless you want to. The Product Default Session connects every input and output for you. Once this session is selected, you can forget about PatchMix and use the Digital Audio System like any other sound card without the hardware effects and exible routing features. PatchMix was never meant to replace the mixer of your recording application. Its forte is allowing you to connect your hardware inputs and outputs to your software applications in a number of useful ways. You may not need this additional power right away. Use PatchMix in the background if you prefer, and come back to it whenever youre ready.

About ASIO

ASIO stands for Audio Stream In/Out and is a standard communication protocol between audio software and a piece of audio hardware. The low latency made possible by ASIO, for example, allows you to sing into a microphone and hear your voice going through software and hardware effects with virtually no delay in the signal. The effects of a low-latency ASIO driver make it ideal for use with Virtual Studio Technology (VST) instruments, plug-ins, and all other software-based synthesizers.
IMPORTANT -> Activating ASIO
It is important to understand that ASIO inputs do not appear in Cubase or other host applications until they are CREATED in PatchMix DSP. This allows you to dynamically assign the 32 available ASIO channels according to your specic needs. An Example:
1. Create a new strip from a physical source such as S/PDIF L/R. 2. Next, right-click on the new strips insert chain and select the Insert Send option. 3. Choose an available host ASIO input. 4. This S/PDIF L/R input should now be available to record in your ASIO application.
ASIO Channels are STEREO!
ASIO channels are stereo, period. Even when you are recording a mono source such as a microphone, the ASIO stream is stereo (with the mono signal on both channels). To record a mono input, you simply set up a sequencer track as a mono track and use either the left or right ASIO channel from PatchMix as the input for the track.
