Two Issues - Pulsar, Cubase SX

The Z Station · Post by **The Z Station** » Thu Apr 03, 2003 2:44 am

Hello!

I hope all of you are doing well....

[PULSAR II]
I just built a new PC box for Creamware Pulsar II+ running on Win XP Pro. I noticed that the WAV properties can only handle 16bits. The 24&32bit radio buttons are greyed out.

[CUBASE SX]
Cubase doesn't start at all. It initialises through and that's about it.

[CONFIG]
Asus P4P-E
Intel P4 2.53GHz
1GB PC2700 Kingston VR (2x 512MB)
ATI Radeon 8500 128MB
Adaptec 29160 SCSI
Pulsar II+
Windows XP Professional
Service Pack 1
latest patch updates
SFP 3.1c
Logic Platinum 5.5.1 (runs fine)
Cubase SX 1.051 (no start)

My old System Host:
Asus CUBX
Pentium III 700MHz
512MB generic
ATI Xpert 2000 Pro
Adaptec 29160 SCSI (cannibalised to new box)
Windows 98SE/XP Professional dual boot

I think I had similar problems when I first got Cubase SX but forgot how I solved this one. I thought to check Pulsar's properties and that's when I discovered that the WAV properties can only be set at 16bits...

Any advise would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

I don't know anything about SX, or the problem you have, but i can comment on the 16bits issues of sfp in winxp...

This is only for windows sound, and this does not affect your ability to use 24 or 32bits at all... You can do the test using 24wav module and recording into wavelab, and at the same times show the 'bit meter' in wavelab, you'll see that the wave recorded effectively have 24bits...

Cool! I didn't think about that one. Thanks for the info!

Regarding SX: I'm suspecting SP1 since I didn't have that loaded on my other setup. Can anyone verify this?

Thanks much again!

Does it give you an error message? Or just do nothing? Is your USB dongle installed properly?(you gotta follow the instructions to the 'T')

SX simply stopped after it initialised. The USB key was secured - red light and all.

Much to my hesitance, I went ahead and re-installed WinXP Pro (fresh). SX works fine now! I also went ahead and installed SP1 and it's a go!

The reason I suspected SP1 is that it killed my USB network on my other box after installing it. I took SP1 off and it worked again?! Not sure about that one!

Perhaps something went amiss during SX's installation, or even SP1. At least, everything is working!

Thanks for your help!
