Steinberg Audio Interface Ur44
Inacayal Tanoesoedibjo
The TOOLS for UR come with a Yamaha Steinberg USB driver component included. However, a newer version of the driver for your USB audio interface might be available on this page. The driver component can be updated separately in this case.
Hey guys, I am new to the forum but really need help with figuring out how to add a 3rd and 4th mic in audacity using my steinberg ur44 audio interface. I have a podcast and want to have more than just two people on it. Any help would be amazing!!!
I just got a Steinberg UR-44 USB Audio Interface so I can take 3 separate audio streams and record a multi-track session. I have installed the right driver from Steinberg, and on their proprietary software I can see the audio from the 3 channels. I would very much prefer to use Audition to record and then later edit the audio, but it appears that Audition cannot see the 3 separate channels and basically is recording the same audio stream on every channel in a multi track recording session.
Well, the first thing you do is go to Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware and make sure you have selected the right Device Type/Driver. In this case it will likely be ASIO with some reference to Steinberg.
Then go to File/New/Multitrack Session and create a session. In the Input selection box (the one marked with a right-facing arrow) it'll probably say either "None" or something like "Default Stereo Input". Click on the Input box for the first channel, select Mono, then pick the first of your Steinberg inputs--I can't give you the exact wording since every interface is a bit different. Repeat this in track two with the second Steinberg input and so on. Once you've done this, click the little red "R" on each track you want to record in to arm it for recording when you hit the main record button.
First, to avoid having to do this for every recording, once you have your session set up properly, save it as a template. (File/Export/Session as Template) so you can just open your standard work space every time.
Second, if there's any chance you may want to do multiple takes, when you make your Session Template, repeat the channel assignments a few times--so tracks 4, 5 and 6 are repeats of Steinberg channels 1, 2 and 3 and so on. No problem if they're not used (just don't arm them for recording until you need them) but a potential time saver later.
Still working through the problems described in this thread. It seems to be the Waves Soundgrid driver more often than not causing the high latency and then dropouts when running Cakewalk. I've been in almost daily communication with Waves, and one of their suggestions was to try a different driver/interface and see if the problem persists.
I own a Steinberg UR44 that I use as a mic interface for SMAART, so I tried installing it on my recording DAW. I went through Steinberg's list of order for the installation (their AISO drivers first, then the UR44 control panel). I have my Soundgrid AISO drivers set to Startup "Manually" ie: not when the computer powers on but only when I open the Soundgrid Studio Control panel. I've verified in Latency Mon that they are not running in the background and have also have them disabled under Sounds in Device Manager.
The problem is that I can see signal coming in on the Steinberg UR44 Control panel, but It's not reaching Cakewalk (see picture below). I've got my I-Pod connected and playing into the first two channels of the UR44. Everything is assigned properly in Edit/Preferences and I have 6 Tracks in Cakewalk assigned to each of the 6 driver channels. Tracks are record-enabled, but no signal. If I disconnect the USB cable from the UR44 Cakewalk will show the Audio Dropout warning in the bottom-right of the screen. Anyone else have this problem? This interface works fine on my other PC.
Yes I have. My computer has 2 USB-2 ports and I've tried them both. Same result: the UR44 "Tools" panel shows sound coming in, but when the drivers are assigned to Cakewalks inputs there is no audio going to the Tracks. I'm downloading Cubase today to see if I can get it to work.
I use the UR-44 with Cakewalk, don't have any problems, I have other DAW's as well, it works perfectly with all of them. The only DAW I couldn't get it to work with was Cubase, the DAW it came with! Good luck with Cubase, I spent about 4 hours trying to get it all to work properly but failed unfortunately so I ditched Cubase.
If the DSP mixer is showing that audio from the inputs is present and you can hear that audio directly from the headphones or speakers then all is ok with the DSP mixer and direct monitoring. Double check that you have the audio going into input 1 and being received in Cakewalk on the left side of the first stereo pair which will be input number 1. There should be audio there ready to record. If you are using front inputs 3 and 4 (line) that will be the second stereo pair. so you will have to assign the left side of the stereo pair for 3 and the right for 4.
I was thinking that having two sets of AISO drivers on the same computer (Waves and Steinberg) was a bad idea, but the Soundgrid drivers don't start running on startup; only when I open their control panel. I checked this in Latency Mon, which shows all running background drivers.
I also thought it might be a bad USB cable, but UR44 "Tools" shows that signal is reaching the computer. I'm installing Cubase today and I'll see how that works. I'll also try Reaper. I have a brand new computer and have spent over 100 hours trying to get it stable. Something has to work soon.
Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH announces the UR44 audio interface, a six-in, four-out audio interface that will be available in January 2014, further extending the UR range of USB 2.0 interfaces. With up to 192 kHz and 24-bit audio quality, MIDI input/output, Class-A D-PRE microphone preamps and its class-compliant mode for iPad use, the UR44 is a portable production studio with ample connectivity choices.
The UR44 is a USB 2.0 audio and MIDI interface with six inputs and four outputs. It offers latency-free monitoring with the DSP-powered REV-X reverb and the Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip in Cubase, or any other DAW software via the included dspMixFx application. Four Neutrik combo inputs boast D-PRE microphone preamps and phantom power, Hi-Z attenuation on inputs 1 and 2 and line attenuation on inputs 3 and 4, and two headphone jacks plus two additional balanced line inputs on the rear panel. Also available on the back panel are four balanced line outputs alongside two main outputs, MIDI I/O and a switch to class-compliant mode.
With the included software bundle, the UR44 transforms into a full system solution for recording music in studio quality. Cubase AI 7 is based on the same core technologies as Steinberg's highly acclaimed Cubase advanced music production system, providing tools for composing, recording, editing and mixing. The Basic FX Suite consists of a range of VST effects and sound-processing tools: the Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip, the REV-X reverb and Guitar Amp Classics with guitar amp simulations developed by Yamaha.
