Hey folks... anyone familiar with this program?
http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml
I recently purchased the Alesis io14 (firewire) that I am gonna try. I need
a cheap something, but with at least 4 inputs. I tried to research, but
so few reviews... But the firmware/driver updates recommend this proggie...
Anyone?

Hi Ed,
Cubase doesn't crash on my machine, and I didn't really do anything special
to it. I would check the steiny site for the latest updates, as I do know
that the 'out of the box' version I had did crash a bit.

If you don't yet have your firewire interface, what are you
using for playback? IOW, I wonder if it could be crashing
because you don't have an ASIO-compliant soundcard/driver?
I've had Cubase crash or lock up only a few times, but it's
only been when I've inserted some new plugin I'm trying that
happens to have poorly-written code, or is a CPU pig to the
extent that it puts everything over the top & causes the lockup.
I don't beleive I've ever had it crash on on a stable rig under
any other circumstances (although on my last rig before this
one - there were some mobo/chipset issues - it locked up a few
times on that one, but then other funky things would
happen that didn't occur on my current rig or the one prior to
that imtermediate one - like losing sync with word clock from
time to time, for example, so there was some PC hardware funk
goin' on there.)

Hey Neil,
Yeah, I don't have the firewire device yet (suppose to arrive today), but
I just installed Cubase on my notebook (AMD Turion 64bit) and imported some
wav's from my Paris... just wanted to play a little... to get a feel for
Cubase. Well, I first ran into issues with converting from the Paris 24
bit. I normally use CoolEdit (older version). Of course, it brings Paris
24 bit files in as 32 bit. I am not sure why, but it does. But when I pulled
up a converted 24 bit from Cubase, Cooledit started doing 24 bit. Don't
ask.. cause I am clueless. However, I got my wav files finally converted
to 24 bit properly and Cubase recognized them. It didn't like 32 bit files.
So I brought them into a new project. I had to do one wav at a time because
Cubase would sometimes crash after I imported a new one. Not evertime.
So I had to import it, save it, play it, close it, open it, re-play it...
and hopefully didn't crash again. There were about 9 wav files for this
one song I was playing with and it took hours to just get the wav files in
and levels adjusted. Since I am not recording yet, ASIO isn't an option...
and playback were just through the speakers... Oh, it crashed almost everytime
on certain plugins.
Anyway, I don't have my notebook tweaked for audio yet, so perhaps that is
some of the cause... but from my little experiment... I have real concerns
for Cubase stability. I'll keep playing... and get it tweaked... maybe I'll
have better luck. i was just wondering if others had Cubase Studio 4.0 issues...

Hey Chuck... are you saying your box version crashed, but then you downloaded
the updates and it stopped crashing? Weird.
I am trying the downloaded trial version. I would assume that it is the
most stable one. But not on my machine. The Cubase LE comes with this Firewire
device... I hope it is more stable than what I experienced with the trial
version I downloaded.

I can't speak for 4.0, as I'm still on v3, but I know very
few instances of people here complaining about Cubase being
unstable - you can probably move forward with confidence.
There was one version (beta) of the RME HDSP driver that both
Deej & I had some issues with - that caused some aberrations
with Cubase, but they cleared up with the driver rewrite/final
version of it.
Let's put it this way... JohnB RAVES about Cubase & how stable
it is - and he doesn't rave about ANYTHING.
:D
BTW, just curious - you're not running WinVista on your
notebook, are you?

No sir. I am still on XP...
We just bought a new laptop for the wife tho. We went with the Acer 5920
from WalMart. Awesome notebook.. but it comes with Vista. You almost can't
find a new one without it. What pickles me is that XP is still out there
being sold at original price in Best Buy and the other stores. Some places
have marked it down a little... Folks in Best Buy claim Microslop will stop
support of XP soon... I told the lil youngin geek... I am not sure microsoft
is gonna force it on us this time. First, there are way too many issues
with drivers that it is almost worthless! And just watching my wife play
with it... it looks like it's got the resources constantly doing something,
and the operator doing nothing.
I just received my Alesis io14 via UPS, but I have to wait until I get home
from work to play! lol. Hopefully everything works out. I just need a simple
firewire recording interface with 4 channels. It comes with Cubase LE, so
I'll try that and stay away from the trial download. That is what I was
playing with that was crashing so much...

Hmmmm.. I am wondering now if maybe my issue(s) with Cubase crashing is related
to midi and it's settings. I don't do midi and know absolutely nothing about
it. In my Paris, I always turned it off within the cfg file.
Is there an easy way to turn midi completely off in Cubase? I see midi settings
in the devices/settings area, but I see no where to actually turn it off.
Or do you normally turn that off on the device control panel. I'll have
to look at that when I get home from work; it might be in there.
