PLESASE HELP! SX - SFP problem

Nestor · Post by **Nestor** » Tue Feb 10, 2004 3:22 pm

Hello there...

I need to get to work as soon as posible, but my system is not allowing me to record correctly, while a song is finished.

I'm having the following problem:

SX: several VSTi as usual, a few FX.

SFP, a couple of synth, FX, mixer.

When I finish a song in Cubase, trying to pass it to WaveLab, the sound goes on correctly for about 20 seconds and then, Cubase starts giving up with some instruments, some from SX some from SFP, till the song stacks and repeats a very tiny portion of it in loop mode, and the whole thing gets locked, so I have to close everything, and can’t get things into WeveLab.

My system has 1GB RAM, fast drives and a Pentium 4 2.4, far enough power, but something is going wrong… It is perhaps a sharing IRQ problem, I have changed the card to other PCI slots, but the problem persists. Any ideas please? Thank you!

I'm only talking about SX2 (in XTC though) and I can't see great need for wavelab now. (however, mine is Lite version)

Sorry, I can´t help to solve your problem but as a momentary turnaround..., why don't you route SFP mixer back to SX and open the file in WLab after that?
(Just for you to know and to do not forget that running both (=3 apps) you're putting very hard work on your system though it's a fast and good one, I think)

OT: let me congrat you for that great playing demoing BAM, very good indeed

I have to agree. Why you record the sum of all in WaveLab?
Connect the sfp synths direct to the asio dest and let the cubase stuff come back with the asio source directly into your Pulsar mixer.
When you setup a bus for each asio channel you can add sfp effect to all channels if you like.

Problem solved so far, it seems there was a driver problem, nothing with the hardware.

I'll have to chime in that bouncing back to the same audio application makes a LOT more sense, and would reduce the demands you're making on your DAW.

I always do this for not just the full bounce, but bouncing parts to track them as audio or use them as samples. They come out perfectly placed and nicely trimmed (in Logic and Nuendo both).

Valis, I am very interested in this way of doing things, could you please pose in the Tips and Tricks the procedure? Of course, if you want and have the time to do so.

It will be also nice to post a little Pro file, to get started.
