Cubase LE Setup

1To prevent the playback sound from
Cubase LE from being directly
re-recorded, press the MW12 2TR IN/USB
(ST/TO C-R) switch so that it’s in the on
(TO C-R) position.
With the setting the playback sound can be monitored
via the C-R OUT connectors as well as the PHONES
jack.

Windows:
Click [Start] → [All Programs] → [Steinberg Cubase
LE] → [Cubase LE] to launch the program. If the ASIO
Multimedia dialog window appears, click [Yes].
Macintosh:
Double click the [Cubase LE] icon in your
“Applications” folder, or single-click the [Cubase LE]
icon in the dock if it has been placed there.
n• If you specified a file destination when installing
the Cubase LE software, launch the application
from that location.
•Create a Cubase LE shortcut or Alias on your
desktop so you can easily launch the program
when required.

menu to open the Device Setup window.

[USB Audio CODEC (2)], but if you will only be
playing back and mixing previously recorded data
you can select [USB Audio CODEC (1)] to lighten
the load on the computer’s CPU.
