That's always a possibility, I suppose... perhaps having them

Was he on a flaming pie?For my last studio, we had the longest ground stake
we could find brazed onto a 4x6 fool plate and buried
that, than added a couple of bags of copper sulfate
and watered it regularly. Worked great...

>> NeilAndy,

For me, Paris stopped syncing to the Dakota card when I upgraded from SX
v1.6 to v2.0. I believe the reason for this to be that the Dakota drivers do
not somehow automatically follow the buffer settings in Cubase SX 2.0 or
vice versa. When I was working with a Dakota/Montana combo in SX v1.6 the
sync was perfect because I could go into the SX project window and manually
set the buffers for SX to match the Dakota buffers in the hardware control
panel. This functionality was not carried forward in SX 2.0. I sold my
Dakota/Montana, bought a pair of RME HDSP9652's and they have been flawless
with SX v2.0 thru my current v3.0.1.

Regards,

Deej
