Honestly right now I feel like slapping myself in the face.

Downloaded Cubase Elements 9.5 because I was thinking "oh yeah since Vocaloid is compatiable with this, it'll be perfect to use to make music.". The programme itself is fine and very simple (although cluttered incomparison to 8) but I really wish Steinberg would just use my "default" settings for my audio instead of trying to set it up for me (and giving me 'audio' which in actuality, is not). And trying to change it to a different output/input is even more frustrating (especially when it cant seem to find my audio source). Then again this is all probably because I'm trying to get it to use my HDMI built-in speakers. I don't have seperate speakers.

I don't expect anyone to help as I'm primarily venting my frustrations but as someone who wants the most convenience out of everything, DAWs are buggers for making things more and more unnecessarily complex. If they werent, I'd feel as though more music curators would un-earth (especially western producers for VOCALOID but thats my own assumption).
