Highlight a track in the arrange window, and
that track will automatically be Record-
Enabled. (see illustration 6.07)
Verify that the drop-in and drop-out features
in Cubasis (on the transport bar) are not
enabled (or if so, that they are enabled at
the desired locate points). Press the
RECORD button on the US-224. Cubasis
will issue a one or two bar countoff
(depending on what’s set in Cubasis’
Metronome preferences menu), then
commence recording.
6.4 Transport Controls and
Locate Points
The transport controls on the US-224 are
set up to directly correspond to the on-
screen transport controls in Cubasis. So, for
example, pressing PLAY on the US-224 will
activate the PLAY mode in Cubasis.
Pressing STOP will halt playback on
Cubasis. Pressing REW or FFWD will
activate Cubasis’ transports to Rewind or
Fast Forward, respectively. The DATA
Wheel will also act as a shuttle wheel for the
transport. (See section 6.6 for details)
Cubasis will record audio or MIDI into the
track that is highlighted on the Arrange
screen (see above). Pressing RECORD will
start Cubasis into a count-off, after which it
will begin recording audio or MIDI data into
the selected track.
The locate points function much like the left
and right mouse buttons in Cubasis. To
jump to the Left locate point, press the
LOCATE << button, and to jump to the right
point, press the LOCATE >> button.
To set locate points, hold the SET button
and press the << or >> button to set the
corresponding locate point. This will work
when the transport is stopped or when
moving, allowing you to set locate points on
the fly.
