Audio Drivers in SX3

Krabat · Post by **Krabat** » Tue Nov 16, 2004 8:22 am

Hi,
I recently installed Cubase SX3; now I can't get access to the ASIO-Ports nor to the XTC mode. All I see in SX3 connections menu are the Scope hardware I/O's. When I swap to Scope App during playback, then playback stops. In SX1 everything works perfect.
Any chance to get it to work without reinstalling Scope (btw: It's Vers.4)

Kind regards, Gunnar

(for non-XTC mode:)
In SX2 / SX3, you have to set-up the 'VST connections' yourself (i.e. "manually").

Make sure that you have the correct (scope) ASIO driver selected in the VST Multitrack dislog, then select the 'VST connections' menu item and add input & output busses as required, connecting them up to the ASIO busses as you see fit (you can freely assign I/O busses to ASIO busses).

I can't help with the XTC mode stuff, as I never use that!

When I swap to Scope App during playback, then playback stops.

You've got the "unload ASIO driver in background" checkbox ticked in the VST Multitrack dialog - uncheck this box.

HTH,

Royston

Well,.... I missed that. Thanks.

About the other points: It did confuse me, that the outputs are named 'Scope 16-bit', 'Pulsar SP-DIF' and 'Merge'. They are - in fact - all ASIO-Ports (which all are routed to the STM 1632); don't know, where they got their names from...

XTC: I don't use it either. I just tried to find the reason for the problems, so I tested it out. As it works with SX1 (although I get the message ' XTC does not work...'), I think it's a Cubase configuration problem. Maybe I find it uot later...

THANX for help, Gunnar

That's why I thought you were in XTC mode...one can't "see" the creamware hardware I/O from inside Cubase (as far as I understand things). Which ASIO modules are you using by the way? Maybe that makes a difference in terms of how Cubase names things (?)

Personally, I don't like the new "VST Connections" setup in Cubase, but at least you can save your connections as a preset after you've set them all up.

you can't use those other ports directly in cubase even though they show up in the menu. if you want to send one of those ports(like sp/dif) to cubase, wire it in scope(sp/dif to asio dest).

Is it (only) in SX3 that they show up? Can't say I've seem 'em in SL v.2.

i've seen them in sx2.

Might well be an SX-thing then!

well, unless you try to change the port on the bus you might never see it...

I'll have a look-see this evening!

Well, that were my thoughts too, and that's why I tried to activate XTC-mode.

It have been the simple ASIO1 16Bit-modules. But the naming is the same with ASIO2 24bit.

Personally, I don't like the new "VST Connections" setup in Cubase, but at least you can save your connections as a preset after you've set them all up.

I would prefer a routing matrix like in scope, too

It took me a while to understand things, especially if you try to open an SX1-project...

or just be able to set it up in the mixer like in logic, jeez...

another thing about the ASIO-Drivers:

after a bluescreen-crash of SX, where SX forgot everything, the ASIO-Names have changed to the actuelly names. But SX keeps the names, even if you change the drivers...
