0404 Owner's Manual - Creative

Basic Recording
The following step by step tutorials are designed to get you recording as quickly as
possible. After you have finished the tutorials we encourage you to read the Cubasis pdf
manual in order to learn about the many features of this powerful program. We have
provided special PatchMix DSP Sessions, as well as a Cubasis Recording Template Song
to go along with the following tutorials.

Basic Recording
f Because unused strips
waste DSP resources as
well as needlessly
complicating the mixer
display, you may want to
delete the strips you
aren’t using.
