Quick Guide
This quick setup and operation guide covers everything from installing the Cubase AI software to using Cubase AI for recording and mixdown. While going through this section you might find it useful to also refer to the Controls and Functions section on page 18, as well as the pdf manual supplied with the Cubase AI software.

Installing Cubase AI

Since the End-User Software License Agreement (EUSLA) shown on your PC-display in your installing the DAW software is replaced by the agreement at the end of this manual, you should disregard the EUSLA. Read the Software License Agreement at the end of this manual carefully, and install the software if you agree to it.

IMPORTANT !

Start the computer and log on to the Administrator account. Insert the included DVD-ROM into the computers DVD-ROM drive. Double-click on the CubaseAI4.msi icon in the Cubase AI 4 for Windows folder (for Windows users), or double-click the CubaseAI4.mpkg in the Cubase AI 4 for MacOS X (for Macintosh users). Follow the on-screen instructions to install the Cubase AI software.

In order to have continuous use of Cubase AI, including support and other benets, you will need to register the software and activate your software license by starting it while the computer is connected to the Internet. Click the Register Now button shown when the software is started, then ll in all required elds for registration. If you do not register the product, you will be unable to use the application after a limited period of time expires.
Connecting to the AUDIOGRAM interface
Be sure to turn the PHANTOM +48V switch on when using a phantom-powered condenser microphone.

LEVEL controls

OUT LEVEL control
Turn all gear that is to be connected to the AUDIOGRAM off or to standby mode (except the computer), and set the LEVEL controls and OUT LEVEL control to their minimum settings. Connect microphones and/or instruments. For details on making connections refer to the Setup section on page 7 and the Controls and Functions section on page 18. Set the MIC/INST switch according to the type of device connected to channel 1. Select MIC ( ) if a microphone is connected, or INST ( ) if a guitar or similar instrument is connected.

Powering Up the System

To prevent loud pops and noises, turn on the power to your sound gear starting with the sources (instruments, CD players, etc.) and ending with the audio system (monitor speakers).
Turn on the instruments and microphones. If you are using a condenser microphone for the channel 1, turn on the PHANTOM +48V switch.
Observe the following precautions when turning on phantom power.
Make sure that the PHANTOM +48V switch is off when phantom power is not needed. When turning the switch on, be sure that only a condenser microphone is connected to the MIC/INST input jack. Other devices may be damaged if connected to phantom power. This precaution does not apply to balanced dynamic microphones or instruments with the phone jack, however, as these will not be affected by phantom power. To prevent damage to speakers, be sure to turn off audio system (monitor speakers) before turning this switch on or off. We also recommend that you set the OUT LEVEL control to the minimum position before operating this switch to avoid the risk of loud noises that could cause hearing loss or device damage.
Connect the AUDIOGRAM interface to your computer using the supplied USB cable. The POWER indicator will light to indicate that power is being applied to the AUDIOGRAM interface.

Preparing to Record
Click in the track list (the area in which the track names are displayed) to select a track to record on. The various settings for the selected track are available in the Inspector on the left side of the display.
[Record Enable] button Track list

Inspector Input routing

You will normally use a stereo track when recording synthesizers, and a monaural track when recording vocals or guitars.
Click the Input Routing eld in the Inspector to select the audio input source. Select Stereo In 1 for a stereo track and Left (Right)-Stereo In 1 for a monaural track. Make sure the [Record Enable] button for the track to be recorded is turned on. If the [Record Enable] button is off, click it to turn it on. Play the instrument to be recorded, and adjust the AUDIOGRAM LEVEL controls so that the Clipping indicator never lights.

<Transport panel>

Clipping indicator
Specify the point at which you want to start recording via the ruler at the top of the project window. Click the black area of the ruler to move the project cursor (the vertical black line) to that position.

Recording and Playback

Click the Transport panel [Record] button to begin recording. When recording is started the project cursor will begin moving to the right and a box that displays the recording results will be created.
Start Rewind Forward Stop Record

Recording results

Play the part. When you nish recording the track, click the Transport panel [Stop] button.
To hear playback of the track you have just recorded, use either the Transport panel [Rewind] button or the ruler to rewind to the beginning of the recorded section, then click the Transport panel [Start] button. The overall playback level will be displayed via the master section bus level meter on the right side of the mixer window, and the channel level will be displayed via the channel strip level meter.
Click the [Narrow/Wide] button in the upper left corner of the mixer window to increase the width of the mixers channel strips. To hear the playback sound via the AUDIOGRAM interface, adjust the volume with the OUT LEVEL control. The playback level will approximately match the recording level when the computer output is set to the maximum level.

Level meter

Bus level meter
To save the project le select [Save] from the [File] menu and enter a le name before actually saving the le. Save your project le frequently to insure against losing large amounts of data if a problem occurs. Repeat steps 1 through 5 to record further material on the same track. To record additional material on a different track, select a new track and repeat the record procedure.

Recording with maximum quality and minimum noise:
For optimum sound quality with minimum noise, the AUDIOGRAM signal levels should be set as high as possible without clipping. Check signal levels to be sent to Cubase AI for recording using the AUDIOGRAM level indicators while the Cubase monitoring button ( ) is turned off. Adjust the channel LEVEL controls so that the level indicator PEAK LEDs ash only occasionally on the highest input transients.

Monitoring button

Mixing with Cubase AI
In this section well try mixing down multiple recorded audio tracks to stereo, and creating a wav le. Mixes can be stored as WAV or AIFF les, which can then be recorded to audio CDs.
Launch Cubase AI and open a project le. Click the [Start] button on the Transport Panel. While listening to playback, drag the channel strip level faders up and down to create the desired initial balance, then adjust the overall volume using the bus volume fader. Drag the pan controls on the top of the channel strips left and right to set the stereo position of each track.
At this point you can begin to use EQ to rene your mix, and add effects. As an example lets try adding reverb. Click the [Edit] button ( ) on the left side of the channel strip to open the VST audio channel settings window. Click Insert 1 and select Reverb - RoomWorks SE.
For further details refer to the pdf manual provided with the Cubase AI software. Its a good idea to lower the channel fader a bit before adding an effect, since the effect can cause an increase in the overall channel level.
When the nal mix adjustments have been made, go to the [File] menu and select [Export] [Audio Mixdown].
Enter a le name and select a destination for the le as well as a le type. If you intend to use the le to create an audio CD, select the WAV le type (AIFF on Macintosh OS X), Stereo Out (stereo), 44.1 kHz, and 16 bit.
Click [Export]. Progress of the mixdown operation will be shown in a progress window. When the progress window closes the mixdown is complete.
Files created by mixdown can be directly played back using the Windows Media Player, or iTunes.

If the wave files you are recording or playing are not too large, changing the virtual memory settings can sometimes improve audio performance. In some cases it might be necessary to update your hard disk controller, device drivers, or BIOS. Refer to your computers support center or support page on the web for more information. Try adding memory. Adding more RAM memory can significantly increase your computers audio performance. Refer to your computers owners manual for information on installing and setting up extra memory. There is a delay when playing a software synthesizer via a MIDI keyboard (latency).
