Teac US-224 - Manual (Page 23)

6. Interfacing with your
Audio Software
This section is intended to present the basic
concepts needed to interface the US-224
with the bundled Cubasis VST application.
This discussion, however, is not intended to
replace your software’s users’ manual. If
you’ve got questions specific to Cubasis,
please refer to the Cubasis User Manual for
the program for further detail.
Note: While the US-224 will function with
many of the same applications as the US-
428 when in US-428 emulation mode, the
full operational details of each individual
program are beyond the scope of this
manual. Details on using the US-224 in US-
428 emulation mode may be found in
chapter eight. More specific information on
how the US-428 interacts with a number of
other applications may be found in section
eight of the US-428 manual, which may be
downloaded in PDF format from the
TASCAM website. You should also refer to
the manual for your particular audio
application for further details.
6.1 Selecting the US-224 as
your Audio Device
6.1.1 Audio Control Panel
In Cubasis, open the Audio Control Panel
(see illustration 6.01). It’s located in the
Audio pulldown menu, under System. Select
the ASIO Device pull-down menu, and
select ASIO US-224 Driver. If your software
only supports 16 bit recording, a 16 bit driver
has also been included.
In the Audio Control Panel, you can select
the number of audio channels you wish to
use, as well as the sampling rate, Disk
Cache settings, and MIDI to Audio offset.
See the Cubasis manual for more
information on these settings.
6.1.2. ASIO Control Panel
In the Audio Control Panel, click on the
button marked ASIO Control Panel. The US-
224 Control Panel will appear. In Cubasis,
make certain the protocol is set to US-428
Emulation Mode. Refer to chapter five, US-
224 Control Panel for information on these
settings.
6.1.3 VST Remote
In Cubasis, the program will automatically
recognize the US-224 as a remote controller
unit. In most other applications, you will
need to select the US-224 as the program’s
remote control. In the case of applications
which do not directly support the US-224,
you will need to select US-428 as your
control device, and select US-428 emulation
mode in the US-224's Control Panel.
