TUTORIALS
Introduction
This guide contains step-by-step tutorials of basic recording operations using your
E-MU audio interface and four of the applications in the E-MU Production Tools
Software Bundle.
•
Cubase LE
4
- a 24-bit, multi-track audio/MIDI sequencer for OS X/Windows
•
Sonar 6 LE
- a popular 24-bit multi-track audio/MIDI sequencer for Windows
•
Ableton Live Lite 6
- an innovative composition and live performance tool for
OS X and Windows
•
Proteus VX
- a software sound module with 1000 sounds
(Windows)
We highly encourage you to perform the steps on your computer so that you can
“learn by doing.” The first tutorial only takes about half an hour to complete, by
which time you’ll know how to make multitrack recordings and much more.
NEED MORE HELP?
If you need additional help with the bundled applications, please see:
•
Windows:
Program Files\Creative Professional\
[Your
E-MU Product]\Documents\3rdParty.htm.
•
OS X:

[Your
E-MU Product]\3rdParty.htm\
NOTE
Proteus VX sound banks are
loaded into system RAM.
Some factory sound sets
may be too large to fit into
your available RAM.
Proteus X2 and Emulator X2
have vastly expanded
capabilities over Proteus VX
and both stream samples
from your hard disk
requiring far less available
RAM space.
TIP . . .
Additional sound banks are
available for the Proteus VX
software sound module.

Before you Begin...
• You should have already installed and tested the E-MU audio interface.
• You should hear the computer sounds coming out of the E-MU audio
interface and your speakers when you play a CD or an MP3 using Windows
Media Player or iTunes.
If not, refer to the Quick Start Guide or pdf manual (located under Help in the
PatchMix or USB Audio Control Panel application) to make sure that the
drivers are correctly installed and that your audio interface is properly
connected. If necessary, uninstall the E-MU Drivers, then reinstall following
the instructions in the manual.
• You should have already installed Cubase LE4, Sonar LE, and Ableton Live
Lite 6 E-MU Edition software on your computer. Windows users should also
have the Proteus VX software sound module installed.
• A source of audio should be connected to the inputs (a microphone, musical
instrument, or CD/MP3 player).
IMPORTANT - 0404-PCI, 1212, 1820, 1616-PCI, 1616-CB owners:
Select the
Product Default
session in PatchMix before launching any of the third
party applications. This will ensure that ALL your inputs appear in the audio appli-
cations and will avoid unnecessary confusion.
To Select the Product Default Session:
1. Select
New Session
from the PatchMix Mixer view.
WARNING!
Windows Users -
After checking your audio,
be sure to quit Windows
Media Player.
2. Select
Product Default
from the list of available Templates and
click OK.
3.
Click OK
again when the Session Settings dialog box appears.
4. Close the PatchMix DSP Mixer.
