SFP + XPPro + CubseSX + 24/32bit Resolution

This has probably been addressed but just don't have much time to do some searching...

I just got my hands on Cubase SX (Xgrade) and judging by my very early use, it sure sounds pretty darned good! It seem a lot more easier than Logic's more complex ergonomic design.

My question lies to the sample rate/resolution on XP. I've read somewhere that XP cannot perform 24bit wavs? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Checking out Pulsar's properties, on the WAV Setup section, the preferred bit depth is only given at 16; both the 24 and 32 are greyed out.

Also, Cubase's ASIO Multimedia Setup only runs on 16bit in/out.

While trying out the demo, Cubase is piped through the WAV module - not the ASIO 24.

I'll dig in the manual a bit more before I hit the sack but if you've got any inputs, I'd much obliged!

Thanks!

XP wav drivers are limited to 16bit.
XP ASIO drivers have 16-24-32-flt bitdepths.

Load the Asio Dest and desired Asio Source into your SFP Project. You can now select ASIO Scope drivers in Cubase ->Devices ->Device Setup ->VST Multitrack. Here you also find 'Release ASIO driver in background'. I strongly recommand NOT to activate that if you use SFP Asio.

Asio Dest shifts automatically according to Cubase record settings: Cubase ->Project ->Project Settings

Thanks Atomic!

Yup, I figured it out while I was playing through the device setup.

Although, it's still 16bit on the ASIO Multimedia's Card Options. Everytime I declick the Use 16bits only... It fails the 32bit test run....
