Creation
Recording multi-
tracks with ASIO
You can create a home music studio using Cubasis VST. It lets you put together your own productions
consisting of multiple music tracks from a MIDI Synthesizer (internal or external), your guitar or
external musical instrument (Line-In), a digital device (SPDIF), or a microphone. ASIO support allows
you to create all these with amazingly low latency (solving multi-track sync issues).
Creating music
You can create desktop music on your Sound Blaster Audigy using Cubasis VST. Hook up a MIDI
controller keyboard to the MIDI/Joystick port and you can access the high quality Audigy synthesizer.
The sequencing software provided also lets you compose your own music compositions and
arrangements.
Recording and
transcribing music
Using Cubasis VST, you can record your own music and do musical notation transcriptions. You can
even print your own music score.
Recording and
editing musical
instruments
You can record any sound effects or sample loops and then use them as a MIDI instrument — all using
Vienna SoundFont Studio. You can also edit existing SoundFont banks.
Recording digital
audio
You can do digital recording and editing (16-bit, 48 kHz) on your computer with Sound Blaster Audigy
using Creative Wave Studio and WaveLab Lite. Connect any SPDIF compatible device such as a DAT
deck and select Digital In Creative Surround Mixer.
