ESI ESU1808 - Manual (Page 19)

ESU1808 ESI
Although we strongly recommend a Power PC G5 or Intel Macintosh system, this setting would
allow you to use ESU1808 under a G4 (equipped with USB 2.0 port) with limited performance.
7.4 Cubase LE 4
ESU1808 ships with a DVD-ROM with Cubase LE 4 from Steinberg. If you are using a different
recording software, you can skip this section.
Installation
To install Cubase LE 4, insert the DVD-ROM into the DVD-ROM drive of your computer. Under
Windows, the installation will normally start automatically – if not, you can launch it manually by
starting the installer from the DVD-ROM drive. To install Cubase LE 4 under Mac OS X, double
click on the installer icon.
To proceed with the installation, follow all instructions on screen. During the installation the
Syncrosoft License Control software will be installed as well. To use Cubase LE 4 for more than 15
days, you need to activate it with this software via the internet. This means that you need an active
internet connection on the computer you are installing Cubase LE 4. We recommend you to activate
the software as early as possible.
Initial Setup
As most digital audio applications, Cubase LE 4 requires some initial configuration, before it can be
used properly with a new audio interface like ESU1808. Start Cubase LE 4 and select Device Setup
from the Devices menu. In the dialog (the Windows Version is displayed below, under Mac OS X
the look is slightly different but the functions are identical), select VST Audio System on the tree
structure on the left part of the window.
Make sure to select ESU 1808 USB ASIO driver as ASIO Driver entry. You can verify your
selection by selecting the ESU 1808 USB ASIO driver device on the left. The dialog (as shown
above on the right), now lists all input and output channels. Note that the Control Panel button has
no effect. Confirm your changes by clicking OK.
