Re: x3 live problem in cubase elements 6

Have you tried asking this question in the Cubase forum? It seems likely that it's a Cubase setup issue rather than a Pod issue.

Are you sure that the track was recorded? Do you see the sound waves?

    If you don't see sound waves in the track after recording I think you may not be recording anything. Check the Record Inputs for the track in Cubase after you arm the track. Make sure you select the appropriate input from among the 8 availableRecord Send options in the X3. For instance, If you are using a single Tone patch in the X3, and you have Cubase set to record only Tone 2, well - that means you are recording nothing.

        That's a Cubase question as far as the details go. But in any recording software, once you arm a track for recording there's a way to specify the audio source/input for recording the track. With the X3 there are multiple options. In Cubase look for a drop-down menu of some sort that is associated with the track after you've armed it. The X3 Record Send options should be visible; select one.

Re: RE: x3 live problem in cubase elements 6

Hey bcrichboy08,

Sounds like you have everything on the POD X3 Live setup correctly. The second part of this is the setup within Cubase.

Thanks for your suggestions silverhead. As he mentioned, the principles of the setting up and arming a track are relatively the same but the specifics are different for each recording application.

If going over the basic steps silverhead provided to you didn't get you recording within Cubase, please reference the POD X3 Live advanced manual page 8-2 for USB recording setup and page 8-3 for the description of the sends of the POD X3.

In addition, please reference the POD Farm Recording Setup Guide to see how to configure the Cubase Audio Preferences for a Line 6 device:

If you are still having a problem I would suggest contacting Cubases support for further assistance. They can be reached at the link below:
