Using Firepod with Nuendo

[metalhead]

I just bought a firepod today to record my drumset (I only have 1 input on my soundcard and getting a firepod was the better option over buying an 8 track mixer to try and mix it through). I installed everything fine, windows recognizes it, nuendo knows it's there, but I can't figure out how to get nuendo to record from it and when I set nuendo to use the device it messed up some other stuff so I went back to recording from my sound card.

Now I can't export audio mixdowns for some reason, the "attributes" parameter is blank, so even though it says 'export PCM/uncompressed wav, stereo interleaved, 16 bit' and all that, when I export, the file is blank.

So I need to know how to set this thing up to record all 8 tracks thru firewire, all at the same time but coming in on different tracks. And I need to still be able to use the midi on my soundcard, since I record some drum stuff from guitar pro.

Can anyone give me some suggestions?

oh, forgot to mention, I have at least double all the system requirements, and the sync light is always blue, so I know it's working, and I know something is wonky in my settings. I just don't know where/what.

Have you checked the Getting Started manual about doing your export?

[metalhead]

If you're referring to the one for the firepod, yes. It just walks your through the installation.

I've been using Nuendo for a while, and even though I don't know it inside and out, I've had no problems with it thus far.

Have you addressed the soundcard inside Nuendo?

[metalhead]

Umm, if you mean go into device setup and fart around in there, I've been trying that unsuccessfully for 3 days.

No matter what settings I change, nuendo only seems to allow me to choose "Input 1/2" from my sound card.

And have you setup the I/O busses to address the I/O's of the firepod?

..............2-15 of the manual.

To everyone who has attempted to help me, thank you. I got my answer from Rick Naqvi. I am very grateful as I now how exactly what I wanted working beautifully.

Cheers.
