Guitar port set up in cubase

[kanednable]

Hi

 

I recently purchased cubase elements 9 from you but I can't seem to set up recording for the equipment I have. What I want to use is guitar port (line 6) and gearbox (i have an external unit - guitar port, that the guitar plugs into and use usb to connect to the laptop). I can set up to hear groove agent using the low latency driver and I can change the driver from this to guitar port to hear the guitar but what I can't do is hear groove agent AND the guitar at the same time. Switching the drivers just means I hear one or the other.

 

I have looked extensively online and read cubase manuals but unless I am missing something I can see nothing that relates directly to this. I have also posted on the Steinberg forum without reply.

 

Is there any guidance you could give me on this? If not, can you point me some where else I could get an answer?

 

Thanks in advance.

How are you monitoring Cubase?

You should be able to use the Line6 ASIO driver and hear everything from your DAW by plugging you speakers/headphones directly into the Toneport.

First of all, many thanks for your reply to this.

 

The set up is currently down my brothers house so cannot check at the moment.

 

From your reply it sounds like I need to switch the driver over from ASIO to guitar port, then attaching headphones or monitors to the guitar port will allow me to hear the drum track I've created in cubase as well as the guitar I have plugged in to guitar port?

 

Anyway, thanks again and I'll let you know how I get on.

You will want to select the Line6 ASIO driver in Cubase.

I have already downloaded line 6 monkey and updated drivers on the guitar port. In cubase the only 2 drivers I can see is "ASIO low latency driver" and "guitar port". Is the line 6 ASIO driver you're referring to the one I'm seeing as "guitar port"? If not, is there a link you could post to the driver I need?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

Just to let you know that I am now up and running and can hear both groove agent and guitar.

 

Many thanks for your help. As you will gather I am relatively new to all this.

 

Regards

Hi again,

 

Just another question. Once we get a track together and want to put it on cd, I assume cubase will export the whole track including drums? Is it a case that once we add a guitar track for example to a drum track so they have both been "recorded", I will be able to hear everything through the laptop without the need for external monitors being connected to the guitar port? Is it a case that once I have a drum track I'm happy with, it then needs to be "recorded"?

 

I used cubase 5 quickly back along and could hear the drums and all other tracks without the need for monitors. I could hear the whole song just on my laptop with the driver switched to guitar port. Not sure why this is different.
