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.

6.4Transport 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.
