What he said... If your sync is tight but playback of VSTi's out of
Cubase is glitchy it's likely you're exceeding capacity of that
system. The engines are buckling, Captain. Set latency low for
playing/tracking VSTi's, and set latency high for playback... Also,
I'd render one or more of those VSTi tracks out of Cubase and drag 'em
into Paris as audio files... That's "Export Audio" out of Cubase --
with the track you want soloed, and markers set to top and end... Snap
that audio file into your Paris editor on the right bar and you're
good to go... If you need to make changes later, get back in Cubase,
edit, alter, whatever, export and so on... I once imagined a system
where I could play whatever number of VSTi's I might want out of
Cubase in sync with Paris, but I found that I always ended up wanting
them over in Paris as audio files when it came time to mix anyway. I
still like reaching for a fader, and I think there's something going
on with the Paris mix mojo, when it comes to pulling everything
together and making it all seem "real"...
Whew -- long note for me -- coffee's workin' good today.
good luck with it -- Chas.

Hi,Don
Don't bother trying to adjust settings within Cubase, as the buffer/latency
settings are locked
once Cubase nabs the soundcard driver.)
If you have a Dakota, (as have I), you'll find the buffer size settings in
the "System" tab in the Dakota control panel which you can access in the
Windows system tray. Try the highest setting first, and see if this cures
your problem.

Kim

I took it to it's lowest setting and the noise became worse (32 I believe)
....presently back at 256 but still getting the occasional pop.
Right now I have two midi tracks...one soft synth and every 60 seconds or so
"pop" I can always render to audio but that too is a pain
I don't notice anything with audio tracks so I'm thinking this is a soft
synth resource thing

Hmmm.
Sorry, Don.
Without knowing more about your Cubase System, I am at a loss.
I have no problem running a bunch of softsynths with a buffer setting of
64, on a 2.4ghz P4. The XP install is fairly clean.
(no antivirus/firewall or background stuff).
I did notice that the midi timing went caput when
sending to an external synth, and almost felt like CPU overload. I never
noticed popping with the VSTi's, though.
What is the VSTi you are using, and, dare I ask, how fast is your
processor? I am only an occasional lurker here, so I do not know
who is using what.

Hey Kim
1.8 gig Pentium with a gig of ram on XP completely stripped of all non
essential crap.
I get pops at 256 &128 - anything less and it's noise over the synth sound.
I have on loan Absynth, Hypersonic, Korg legacy collection, Kontact, Halion,
NI - Pro53 / B4 / FM7 / Battery as well as Reaktor (I believe)
Latest project is with Absynth - two midi tracks - one sound and Battey -
three midi tracks - one patch - pops occur randomly i.e. no midi
correllation to pops

In Cubase SX 1.06, it is definitely *not* locked. There is a place in one of
the menu pages where buffer settings can be manually set to match the buffer
settings of the Dakota card and this needs to be done for things to work
properly. I remember this distinctly. This is what I used to have to do when
I was using a Dakota/Montana combo with Cubase SX 1.06 or I could not get
reliable timeline sync between Cubse and Paris.. This ability to manually
set buffers from within Cubase SX to match buffer settings in the control
panel of the audio hardware was not implemented in v2.0..........and believe
me, I tried. I even used beta drivers from Froniter in hopes that the Dakota
Driver would work properly in the Cubase SX 2.0 environment. It didn't work
and this is why I now have RME cards in my DAW. I have heard that there is
now a working Dakota driver for Cubase SX 2x-3x, but I'm too deep into the
RME stuff to think about going back at this point.

Pretty slim for a VSTi machine... try upping the setting on the Dakota
from 256 to 512. You do realise that if you have any of the VSTi's
showing in the Instrument window, they draw CPU power even if there
are no MIDI tracks running at all. Try activating only ONE VSTi at a
time.

I've made sure all unused instruments not in the instrument window...latest
project was Absynth, Hypersonic - 10 tracks and when I added Battery 2 and
went to play along (trying out ideas) all hell broke loose re: digital
distortion.
For the record this machine wasn't supposed to house all these VST synths
but the synth fairy dropped by and well, I just couldn't say no so the game
plan is to ramp this cubase rig up to a 3+ gig machine in the very near
future.
Will try upping things to 512 and see what happens fingers X'd
