recording dj mix through ultralite mk3

Post by jpetrou »

hey guys, i need help recording my dj mix into cubase5 using my ultralite mk3. I have the RCA going out from my mixer to the channel 3in 6.5 plug into the ultralite.

i get a recording, although it is very very quiet. how do i turn up the track? is it done on the ultralite or in cubase5?

probably a simple question but i have looked everywhere and cant find it, and im new to production.

thanks.

Hi:

Increase the input gain on the Input tab of CueMix FX. I hope you have the lastest drivers (3.6.8.1410).

If you don't get a strong enough signal by increasing the trim to max for the input of the UltraLite ( I think you said ur using input 3-4), you may have to use a preamp.

That means you would send your mix to a preamp before you send it into the UltraLite. The preamp can be used to increase the signal gain to a good enough level.
May a song always touch you in a possitive way!

I've had great results with Vista 64.

Go for it.
