bryaneaves Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 It’s been awhile since I’ve done any recording and I want to lay down a few videos for personal use, Youtube, etc. My old setup was a Lexicon U42 interface into Cubase 5. As I understand it I can now omit the interface and recording directly from Helix into Cubase. I assume I do this through the FireWire to USB cable. I’ll connect it up for a test but my question is since I’m using a stereo sound patch can I record into Cubase in stereo through the USB cable? My old method was to duplicate the track in Cubase and apply an offset/pan for the stereo effect. I’ll have to figure out how to make Cubase record in stereo since I’ve never done this but I assume it’s pretty straightforward to get it to activate and record the left and right channels simultaneously. I would love to hear anyone’s comments that done this before. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 What computer are you using? The Helix interface uses USB on both ends of the cable. I don't know if Firewire will work but others may have experience with that. As for stereo, use a stereo audio track in Cubase and select Helix USB channels 1+2 as the record input.

bryaneaves Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 My mistake. Shouldn’t have said firwire. USB is what I meant. I’m using a windows computer. You answered all my questions, even the Cubase question! Thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
