XTC problem

[sertac]

Hi everybody.
I use CreamwarePro with ScopePlatform 4.5.
My signal following; mic -> Micpre -> Mixer(yamaha O1v digital mixer) and to CreamwarePro by ADAT cable.
Than while listening, I use DAC1 (digital-analog converter) with creamware's S/PDIF connections.
So my Routingwindow[ADAT source to ASIO24bit dest. and ASIO24bit source to S/PDIF for listen]
But Ican't use XTC mode. While runing cubase this like I can't hear anything.What's problem

[the19thbear]

Have you edited the xtcproject.pro file??
look areound here, there are lots of documents about getting xtc mode working. It works for me! with adat connections!
good luck!

I try XTC mode with this connections. Is it right?

looks right..
well first of all, try opening the project you posted, and open cubase, still leaving sfp running with the project.. do you have any sound?? if not, the soundcard is not the problem.
If you have sound, save the project, overwriting your existing xtcproject.pro, tick the "xtc mode" in the sfp box and load cubase.

NOW: when cubase starts up, do you see the XTC logo??

would be nice if you posted a little more info: have you got xtc mode working already? can you load scope fx in cubase etc etc? is it only the digital coneections that is a problem??

thanks and good luck!

Unless he edited his xtcproject and put the mixer in there?? I know its not the "correct" way of doing things.. but you should still have sound!
But first of all, what have you done so far?? is xtc mode working at all??

Hi the19thbear ,thx for all.
First, I do everythink what did you say.But ;

"NOW: when cubase starts up, do you see the XTC logo??"
No ,I can't see XTC logo when I start to cubase4

Than I open a project on Cubase and play.But no sound
anyway my Converter(DAC1) connection look "error".
And I try open effect(optimaster) on cubase , but it open like this.

scope is closed when you open cubase, right?

[the19thbear]

yeah..
First of all, install sfp with the xtc mode field ticked.

there is SFP mode and XTC mode. You can't run both of them at the same time.If you want to run things in xtc mode you have to close sfp
You can though, test your XTc project.pro: open sfp, open your xtcproject.pro, i would leave out the mixer ( as stardust pointed out), and connect the asio outs direct to your scope adat and scope spdif. ( just to test things.) open cubase, select the ASio scope driver in cubase, playback some random audio and see if you have sound..

If you have sound, it works.save your xtcproject.pro file

Now close sfp.

open cubase. ( it probably wont recognise your audiodrivers first time), select the asio driver in cubase. restart cubase.
Now watch for the xtc logo when cubase is opening!

[sertac]

yaeh, I know XTC mode and SFP normal mode different and when I try to works on XTC mode I close the scope program.I checked XTC mode enable.
So I do everythig.I can hear sound while scope working normal mode.But When I close scope Platform and open cubase ,Ican't hear sound.What s wrong, I don't understand
Everything like this.

[sertac]

and my outputs...
If am I correct ,I will remove scope and re-setup again

[the19thbear]

go to device setup, and to asio scope. then reset/refresh the ins/outs, go to connection setup (your screenshot), configure the new ins/outs..and restart cubase..

if it still doesnt work then:

did you install with xtc mode?
maybe downloading the cubase patch from soniccore website will help??
does that work??

if all fails uninstall and install..

and if it still doesnt work do this( this is what is partially is mentioned in the two links above):
1:Install scope with xtc mode.

2: create a folder inside your scope directory called XTC PLUGINS ( you decide) EG: C:/scope 4.5/devices/xtc plugins

3. open up the xtc configuration file in a text editor (scopevst.cfg )its located in some scope sub sub folder..
- In this file you should se a row of directories. One with the words mono in front of it and one with the words stereo in front of it.
Copy these two ( mono and stereo) text lines, and insert them in the bottom, right after the last line and edit them so they contain the path of your xtc folder.
EG:

ScopeMono C:/scope 4.5/devices/xtc plugins/*.*
and Scopestereo C:/scope 4.5/devices/xtc plugins/*.*
( i think that this is the same wording that is used in the file)

4. Go to your shared vst plugin folder, and pick a plugin that you know is working.( any plugin. not a creamware one) and copy that into your XTC folder EG:
C:/cubase/vst plugins/XTC

make as many copies as you need XTC plugins.
Now rename every single one of the copied plugins to match the names of the plugins in your C:/scope 4.5/devices/XTC plugins/ folder. but leave the DLL extension
example:
was supercomp.dll now renamed to minimax.dll
was supercomp.dll(2) now renamed to masterverb.dll
etc etc..

the actual dll files in your c:/cubase/vst plugins/ folder are actually not used at all.. they are just "shadows" of the files from the c:/scope 4.5/devices/xtc plugins/ -folder

5. edit the xtcproject located in some other sub folder to suit your needs. save it.

6.start cubase
Open the vst plugin menu in cubase and add the c:/cubase/vst plugins-folder as your shared vst folder, and restart cubase.
IF that doestn work, rename the vst plugins folder to something else, set it up in cubase and restart cubase again.

I know this seems like an awful lot, but when you get the hang of it, it is actually really easy..

the "samplerate could not be set" message occurs when the Scope samplerate is not what the last samplerate that cubase operated in, or if it is not the same samplerate as the project which is being opened. changing the samplerate in scope or cubase will fix the problem.
