hi again,
Cubase LE seems fine with whatever bit-depth I chose in Device manager, and of course it loves the ASIO drivers. But oddly enough, Cubase seems to have no mechanism to recognise a USB mike, enabled as primary recording device in Win7 control panel.
Sonar X1 LE on the other hand easily integrates the USB Mike, but only recognizes 2 out of 4 Scope drivers, no matter how many times I check the "enable" boxes in pref's and "apply".
Also Sonar now has decided that it won't play any audio files since I've monkeyed with the Device Mgr bit-depth settings in windows. I reset them back to 16 bit, which is what my audio is all recorded at, but it still registers a driver conflict. Looks like Cubase is the winner so far.

Sonar & Cubase quirks
Re: Sonar & Cubase quirks
windows bit depth has nothing to do with Scope. bit depth is decided by which module you use.
a driver connects hardware to software.
Sonar should be used with ASIO. Sonar definitely recognizes all ports. actually, there are zero problems with Scope and Cubase or Sonar. the driver conflict is likely that you are using wave drivers in Sonar and windows is also using that driver.
the USB mic would be a problem, since it would want to use it's own ASIO driver and neither sequencer can use two ASIO driversat the same time. i suggest a regular mic and mic preamp.
