Re: No compromise Windows choice for Xite-1

I guess I'll be learning all of this when I get my MOTU interface!

Re: No compromise Windows choice for Xite-1

A bit off topic, but why Bidule vs. something like MIDI-OX and the built-in MOTU routing options?

What are you using, Valis, since you have a similar setup, no? Separate Scope machine?

Re: No compromise Windows choice for Xite-1

But Scope 7 can run on earlier OS's right? I have Scope 7, just looking for the right choice of Windows

No compromise Windows choice for Xite-1

Hi all,

I know this question has been asked a thousand times here, but I've been searching and searching and can't find a definitive answer to it. What would you recommend as the latest Windows OS version where I can get the maximum value from Scope v7 and Xite-1? Criteria:

- Compatibility with ...

Re: An audio player that works nice in Windows ?

Foobar2000 has always been my go-to on windows.

If you want something more feature rich then Roon is excellent. I pay for that and use it every day

Re: will this spring reverb work as an aux (impedance/RCA)

I've always used my behringer ha400 on line output from my mixer... would that also be an option?

Re: Please choose: Sony MDR-7506 vs. Beyerdynamic DT770

It really is a bit of a minefield. I recently bought headphones for "budget audiophile" listening in bed and ended up pretty happy with my choice. Arguably it would be a good option for transparent monitoring too. Some considerations I hadn't thought of before researching:

Re: Please choose: Sony MDR-7506 vs. Beyerdynamic DT770

Recommend the Hiphop Evolution show on Netflix for lots of reasons, but particularly interesting to hear about the evolving production techniques.

It highlighted this same point of mixing for where your audience is. If they're listening on crappy ear buds, check what it sounds like there. For A ...

Re: CMS-1

Strange! I assume you've tried the obvious things, like restarting scope and/or your pc?

Other things that could be a problem would be if the c++ redistributable didn't install properly or if you have a firewall that is blocking the dll.

Re: CMS-1

Try running the cms installer again and pay close attention to the directories tab. Do you see that dll file in your scope xite/app/dll folder?

When I run the installer on this Windows laptop, this is what ends up in my Scope PCI folder:

Re: CMS-1

By the error message, I would suggest that the DLL file didn't end up in the right place in the Scope directory. If you have Scope installed in a non-standard place, you need to tell the installer, so it knows where to put it.

Re: CMS-1

Sorry, it's been three years now since I last looked at this, so I'll have to do a bit of catching up myself :)

Did you use the Windows Installer to install CMS-1? Theoretically that should walk you through all of the steps to choose the right directories to install stuff, including dependencies ...
