Original Message 1/13 17-Oct-03 @ 11:18 PM - SX2 and Hoontech/STI Audio
Was expecting Cubase SX2 today.... well excited, worked from home....
For a start Arbiter are about the worst distributor in the whole world. They assured me my copy would arrive today, arranged to skive and it didn't turn up. I knew it wouldn't but had to wait in anyway. Bastards.
Aside from that, I surf the STI web site (who have recently been bought out by EMI or someone) and find out that my audio card doesn't work in SX2 anyway. New driver due 'soon'.... yeh right.
Anyway, bag of shite. Needed to moan. Its really put a downer on my new toy joy.

Anyways, I been following the forum posts on STAudios website and without tweaks the ESI drivers work with the DSP24 (functionality is limited however), but it bodes well if they've got a better driver dev. team than STAudio..
Have faith mate..

ESI which carries SOME of the egosys products doesnt carry the products still being marketted by Tascam with Gigastation packages.
Bloody capitalism!
so you buy Gigastation, and the manual carries an EGOSYS.net address... you go there to get drivers and nothing happens....
but if you put in this whole URL - http://www.egosys.net/eng/egosys.html - (which you might have saved, OR you might find as a direct-link on sites such as *cough* dancetech).... you get the site pages. - They should sort it all out

Recieved SX 2 today and lo and behold it doesn't work in ASIO.... the sync is right out. Unlistenable.
The MME drivers work OK, must admit it does have a different 'sound' to SX 1, I am impressed. Only problem is with MME or DX there is massive latency.
Come on STAudio/ESI (ha) get those drivers bloody well written and released.

The thing is, STAudio have come under a LOT of flack regarding the quality of their WDM drivers under WinXP (if their forums are anything to judge by) - the BSOD issue has been a bone of contention for some time... having said that, I and pretty much every other DSP2000 user that I know has had no problems with the little beauties since we got 'em installed..
As STAudio/ESI have admitted that they believe the SX2/Nuendo2 problem to be a "driver" issue, I can't see Steinberg pulling their finger out at all.. perhaps they're (STAudio) original Asio2 driver wasn't quite as stable or conforming to exact specs as we all thought, hence when Charlie Steinborg and pals go and do something different, it all goes titzup..

Pop along to their website and check 'em out..
The "official" ESI based EWDM drivers are apparently still on course for an official public beta release "before xmas"
