CUBASE and creamware latency
I´m working with my pulsar2 and Cubase SX 3, and I´m getting lots of latency this time. The computer is well set-up. I did it many times already, so I don´t think I got anything wrong. I also have a working creamware plataform in my home, and it works fine for me here. But in the studio, I´m getting this latency in the ASIO audio playback, and I can´t be sure where it comes from.
I´ve set up the computer really well, no internet, disabled all services I don´t use (I´m really used to do it), and all windows frills. So, The cubase runs fine and even in the lowest possible latencies I can playback more than a hundred channels with good amount of reberbs and comps. The problem is that in the VST device window it shows the 4ms, or 7ms I´m used to, depending of my settings on the Scope program. BUT, still, I hear LOTS of latency, more like 200 or 300 ms... when I try to monitor throught Cubase.
Does anyone experienced this problem already?
It would be great for me if I can monitor direct from cubase in realtime, just like I do at home... I can´t understand why it´s not working at my setup the studio.
by the way, we are using XP pro, intel D865 PERL motherboard, 1g ram, fast hard drives and processor, so...

Thanks for all the roplies!
I don´t really get anything like "asio driver not found"... Like I said in the first post, it all works almost perfectly. The audio playback works nice, with no latency. It´s only when I try to monitor the signal going throught Cubase, in real-time, that I get all this "ghost" latency. I mean ghost, because it sayd "7ms" or "4ms" in the Device multitrack asio panel, at Cubase, but still I get a "ghost" latency of aprox 200ms, and I can´t say where it comes from...

What do you meas by delay compensation. I´m using other plugins in the studio. Not the same ones I use at home, but how can I verify if the problems lies in there?can it be that you are using some other plugins at your studio than in your home? I mean, plugin delay compensation might confuse things (just a guess).
Yes, that´s how I´m working. Only it makes working much more time dispending, believe me. And it´s not an ideal stup-up for tracking, definetly...monitor the cwa mixer. monitor cubase on the cwa mixer. don't monitor through cubase and this won't be an issue.
As I said, I´ve used Creamware at home for many years, and I´m sure everything is done right, I´m suery using ASIO SCOPE driver. No way to get it wrong.
Anyway, thanks for all the replies. I´ll keep searching for my problem. I´ll probably try unistalling all plugins, and if it doesn´t solve the problem, formating the HARD DRIVE again, and maybe try an English version of Win XP should do it. Only I take two days, to format it, install win, configure all the windows frills, installing all audio programs and plugins, etc... It sucks.

i disagree. it's the easiest, best way to track and the most likley way to avoid latency. it is the way real hardware would work, hence it's the most logical. it also offers the most flexibility. you just need to stop fighting it and get used to it.

The issue have been solved somehow???
The problem is... I don´t know what I did, because I set this problem aside and I was messing with other configurations and now the problem is gone.
mmm... I´ll try to find out what it was that I did.
But thanks for all the help.

I concur, I was having this "ghost" issue while monitoring the cubase signal sent to the cwa hardware while in Cubase. All I did was disable the monitoring when record enabling a track and monitored through cwa. Problem solved. You can still use the mute buttons and what not in cubase if you dont' want to hear a particular track so I'm happy. This has been one huge mind F*** in learning the software and hardware though. But I emphasize on LEARNING because it hasn't been a waste of time. Now if only I could get SFP plugins to work for post signal processing I'd be a happy camper. I don't understand how to get that one to work yet for myself.
