Cubase LE 4
Cubase LE 4 is a fairly powerful program provided along with the
Helix Board 18 FireWire MKII mixer that allows users to record,
edit, delete, and alter their tracks. Please note that only 4 tracks
can be recorded at once with the version of Cubase included,
and users must upgrade or find other suitable DAW software if
they choose to record more tracks.
Installation
Insert the Cubase LE 4 installation CD that came with your mixer
into the CD drive of your computer. Run the installer. The serial
number will be automatically entered in when installing.
Setup
After successfully completing the installation process, the follow-
ing process must be followed to work efficiently with the Helix
Board 18 FireWire MKII mixer.
1. Open the Cubase LE 4 program.
2. Go to the 'Devices' pull-down menu and select 'Device Setup'.
On the left, select 'VST Multitrack'.
3. From the ASIO Driver drop-down list select the "Phonic ASIO
Driver". A pop-up box will ask you if you want to switch the
ASIO driver. Click 'Switch'. This completes the basic instal-
lation and setup.
4. Activating audio tracks received from the Helix Board mixer.
a. Go to the "devices" pull-down menu and select 'VST In-
puts'. This will display the various inputs ("Phonic HB 18

b. Activate 8 of these channels by clicking the "Active" button
located next to each channel name. Please note, only 8
input channels can be activated at any one time. This is
a limitation of Cubase LE 4, and if more input channels
are needed, we suggest upgrading to a higher version of
Cubase, or use other DAW software.
