    Hi StandThat Firestudio accepts microphones and instruments. It also comes with Cubase software if I am not mistaken. You won’t need other pre-amps either since that unit has a built – in pre-amp.Put the bass right through it and set everything flat. By that , I mean bass, mid, and treble at a dead center sort of speak.On playback, you can add or subtract bass, mid, treble but not while recording.You need the cleanest sound possible so you can tailor it later.

    While doing most of my recordings on either a 16 track reel to reel, or a self contained D.A.W. I had some suspicions on this, and contactacted 3 separate people who confimed these suspicions. 2 were recording engineers out of Professional Recording Studio’s in Detroit, and another was a recording specialist at Sweetwater Music. You do NOT have to upgrade your soundcard in your pc, and its recommended that you take the soundcard out of your pc. While the Pre Sonus is a great front end for your recording, it also has an internal soundcard built in thats better than what most pc’s have. A problem will arise when the pc starts to detect TWO soundcards. From what I suspected and been told….this could cause any other programs such as Cubase, Pro-tools.. whatever you are running to lock up. So… yes.. the Pre Sonus Fire Studio Tube does have a high quality soundcard built in. Looks like a great unit, and should really give you some outstanding recordings. And.. was not an “ignorant question”, as I have over 20 years of recording behind me.. and I still had to ask! I would highly recommend for future purchases going to Sweetwater Music. They are out of Indiana, and have what I think is the most knowledgable sales staff in the business. If you buy a piece of gear from them today, and 10 years down the road its obsolete, their staff will still assist you with that particular piece of gear! Hope this has helped.

    I’m not sure about Cubase, but in other platforms (Pro Tools) you need to set up a specific “MIDI track” instead of an audio track. Then, that can record the MIDI notes as they are played. Remember that MIDI and audio are not the same and MIDI does not make a sound, it can only trigger a sound or movement. So, on your MIDI track, you need to have some sort of MIDI software based instrument for it to trigger.Also, make sure you have the MIDI OUT on the Keyboard going into your computer interface. And you only need to connect the MIDI in if you want the computer to trigger the keyboad on playback.Your keyboard may not send MIDI out if you have something plugged into the MIDI IN at the same time.

    Do you want to get a notebook or a desktop? For a desktop, get a core 2 duo with speeds of at least 2.4GHz. If it’s a notebook, find a dual-core that runs at least 1.8GHz. For RAM, look for at least 2GB since computers these days come with 2GB. Hard Drive depends on how much you want to store on your computer, which ranges from 160gb-1TB. If you want to audio record, make sure you buy a dedicated sound card from a retailer store or on newegg. Below are links to some sound cards which are good for audio recording. These only work on desktops.
