Hello!

Apologies if this is the wrong section to post this question. I've just bought a Carillon computer (2nd hand) running on Windows XP, Saffire Pro56 interface and Cubase5 (Studio).

When setting up a new project is there a particular order I should be doing things? This is what I've tried so far with mixed results!

1. Power up Saffire Pro
2. Power up PC
3. Load Cubase (Go to 'Device set-up' select Saffire Pro as ASIO driver etc.)
4. Create new project
5. Set up VST connections: 1 stereo output / several mono inputs (I haven't set up stereo inputs as I am mainly recording voice and guitar)
6. Add tracks within Cubase project (Mono In, Stereo Out)

These are the steps I've taken using the Cubase 'Start-up Guide'. The result has been a signal registering within the Saffire Pro mixer from the inputs, but no signal going into the recording tracks in Cubase. I'm also not able to hear the Cubase Click (do I need to set up separate routing into the Saffire Pro for this?). I'm using the 'Zero Latency Monitoring' pre-set in the Saffire Pro 56 which automatically routes DAW 1 + 2 outputs to the Saffire Pro mixer, so I assume there should be a signal coming through from Cubase - the problem seems to be in the VST input routing, but I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong!

Many thanks,

Paul
