Recording
In Cubase, you can record audio and MIDI.
This chapter assumes that you are familiar with certain basic recording concepts
and that some initial preparations have been made.
• Set up, connect, and calibrate your audio hardware.
• Open a project and set up the project setup parameters according to your
specifications.
Project setup parameters determine the record format, sample rate, project
length, etc. that affect the audio recordings that you make during the course
of the project.
• If you plan to record MIDI, set up and connect your MIDI equipment.
