However, it does not give detailed instructions on how to set up your audio and MIDI system and how to trim your settings for highest possible performance. This information can instead be found in the User Guide document. This is what you need... To use Cubasis AV you need the following: • A PC computer with a hard disk and a monitor. For more details about the computer requirements, see below. • Windows 95/98 or 3.1x installed on the computer. For Audio • A Windows Multimedia compatible 16 bit audio card. By audio card we mean a card capable of recording and playing back digital audio using your hard disk as a storage medium. Aside from these basic re- quirements there are other considerations which affect the performance and use of the card, such as full duplex mode, stereo/mono, etc. See the chapter “Optimizing Audio Performance” in the User Guide document. -3- For MIDI • At least one MIDI Interface. Cubasis AV can be used with any MIDI interface that comes with a Windows Multimedia driver. • At least one MIDI instrument. Sometimes, the MIDI interface and instrument are built into the same card. As far as Cubasis AV is concerned, such a card is equivalent to a regular MIDI in- terface connected to an external MIDI synthesizer. You may also find MIDI synthesizers and/or interfaces on many audio cards. • Any audio equipment necessary to listen to the sound from your MIDI devices. • At least two MIDI cables. This is only needed if your MIDI instruments are external – not mounted in- side the computer. For Printing • To print out scores, you also need a Windows compatible printer. -4- About the Computer Requirements Processing Power If you want to be able to record and play back audio in Cubasis AV, the absolute minimum requirem…
