Hello Budgymax,
I think your problem could well be rewire, I Had the same problem myself, Abelton live installs its own rewire which conflicts with the cubase reason, When using cubase call up rewire under devices look in devices you may have an abelton and a reason rewire in there. open both and have a lookturn on channels in both and left and right mix in reason this sould be working ok. Also check you plugins sometimes they can cause a problem. Let me know how you get on and if it sorts problem.
ok cu laters  |

Rewire Issues and Successes I was hoping SX could do a better rewire than Logic. Guess what. It can.thank god cause im not using logic, Things are still a little rough around the edges. Cubase goes to Reason's tempo sometimes when you start out (it's supposed to be the other way?). Sometimes audio cuts out in SX when you touch a reason screen. Rebooting fixes that. If the secondary rewire application crashes, Cubase doesn't know about it and you can't exit unless you forcibly kill it with the Windows task manager. But it is much better than 1.01 where I had a situation where the SX mixer popped out bass plosives while the rest of the reason track sounded "tinny". In version 1.02 Reason comes up after about 10-15 seconds. Big improvement over 1.0.1. One very COOL thing about using Reason in SX is that you CAN play the Reason synths and drums and Dr Rex right from the MIDI keyboard in SX. That's ReWire 2 talkin'. Latency? It's FINE! I've been trippin' out dialing up Subtractor patches, playing them, quantizing and effecting in SX. Reason Lovers, take note. |

More Good news on the Rewire front is that the Ableton Live (V 1.51) is working well with SX. The Loops are locking tight to tempo and there is just a little "operational lag" with mouse moves and screen updates. So cool, there are 12 stereo busses in the Live which correspond to 12 busses in SX's mixer. Assign those to all your audio outs and you can get a killer mix. I'll be playing with that setup again! This gives SX the powers that Sonar users have with loops. The only glitch is entirely Ableton's fault, the program insists on being on the left video monitor in a 2 monitor system. But that's no biggie. I give SX/Live 2 thumbs up |

Rewire was developed by Steinberg and Propellerheads software. It is a method of transferring audio data in real time from one application to another. Imagine a big cable stretching from one program to another. That is essentially what ReWire is. ReWire allows up to 64 channels of audio at practically any sample rate. When 2 applications are "rewired" their transports are synchronized. The audio data from the "slave" rewire application will play through the "Master" rewire application, and the audio can be further processed with plugins then mixed down to audio tracks or master wav files. |

I should have pointed out that I was using cubase Vst 32 and not SX.
I have a chance of buying SX2 soon so hopefully that will sort it.
Which leads me to another question, will cubase SX run on win98?
most people say it doesnt but I have heard that some have got it going.
cheers PJ |

Yea PJ/spono
After biting the bullet and installing windows Xp on my system,I have now got the KX drivers for my Soundblaster card all up and running. but the main thing is I have now got Cubasesx and reason and albeton, all running together!
i followed your xp tuning tips and seem to have really good performance up to a point, but one thing, I dont seem to be able to run as many VST instraments and effects as I used too?
have i got something wrong?
Everything else seems too run really well albeton on its own runs superblly and even with cubase and a couple of synths but if i put one thing too many it starts to Fluff up!
But its all running a lot better just got to learn cubase all over again! any quick tips converting from Cubase VST32 to Cubase SX?
cheers PJ |
