Subject: soundcard troubles sb64g help a newbie
Original Message Date: 03-Dec-98 @ 08:05 PM - soundcard troubles sb64g help a newbie
system-P11 with a 440bx mother running at 66mhz
P266 processor,64 memory,4gig dedicated hard drive. I have distortion in cubase and none in
cakewalk express using audio tracks known to be good. It works so, so, sometimes and then next time I'm up, distortion??. I have played with all
the controls in mixer and volume with no avail.
I have removed cakewalk and did everything mentioned in cubase troubleshooting manuel. If you know anything, please respond. also, asio has
sb picked as choice. Changed the card three times. Thanks.

although i am able to change settings (communicate with) an external synth (alesis qs6), I am unable to record midi in cubase. I've been using an astex labs card for midi and a midiman for audio. after installing aw64 i cannot record midi. can you recomend a setup. thanks chris

For those of you having problems with sound you might want to check your mother board. Some of these sound cards are installed on the mother board and can take away from the original card. Make sure the soundcard on the mother board is not in conflict on IRQ's somewharer. I personally like CakeWalk better. Just got in volved with this thing cus of the VST. If any of you know of a great site for me to learn more about cubase or cakewalk please email. Hope you all solve your problem.

what version drivers & active-x do you have??.... i found changing up to Direct-x 6 help fantastically with my soundcard.....
http://www.activex.com/
direct-x 6 is there... get it downloaded, then re-install the card... but first remove it, and all it's drivers... and clean out the registry by typing at the START-RUN command... REGEDIT.....
search and find any entries for your card, and remove them.....
then get the latest 64 drivers... there is at creative (i went yesterday)... a driver that it says fixes problems with some digital recording programmes.... choose the comprehensive FTP menu... which gives file descriptions... (middle one of the three)....... get the latest Creative drivers.... install the direct-x 6 (3mb download).... then DONT let windows install the creative card, cos you get all that creative junk added with the drivers... just do add-new-hardware... follow the prompt... reply: NO, when it asks to search for the hardware..... click 'HAVE DISK', and add the driver.... try that.....
also, if the card is Fake full-duplex, maybe it's an idea to check the 'FULL-DUPLEX' setting in the ASIO setup....... try it with this item DE-ticked..... try it set to : 'OPEN ALL INPUTS FIRST', maybe that might help??...... i setup a VST system with a crappy soundbaster yesterday for a client.... and it took about 3 hours of changing drivers and messing about.... but finally worked ok.... check also the windows multimedia mixer settings....... good luck....

Hope it helps if not tuff shit

LAYLA PROBLEM! WHEN TRYING TO DO A MULTIRECORD (RECORDING MULTIPLE INPUTS TO MULTIPLE TRACKS) I CAN ONLY RECORD ENABLE 2 TRACKS. I HAVE READ INSTRUCTIONS OVER AND OVER AGAIN, DOING EVERYTHING INCLUDING ACTIVATING ALL INPUTS, SELECTING CHANNEL "ANY", MAKING SURE MULTIRECORD IS ACTIVE AND IN MERGE MODE, ETC. AND IT STILL WONT RECORD MORE THAN 2 TRACKS SIMULTANEOUSLY. PLEASE, IF ANYBODY COULD HELP ME OUT I WOULD APPRECIATE IT GREATLY!!!
Message 19/19 12-Feb-99 @ 09:19 PM - OKE HERE IS THE ANSWER !!!!
I'am also the owner of a AWE64... the answer is infact very simple... and their is a solution... more or less...
TWO FACTS :
1) The awe64 is basicly a very SLOW card when it comes to Direct Control (try playing fifa99,sin, etc. with a AWE64... - causes distortion or missing sounds)
2) Cubase is basicly a very SLOW program that mixes sounds (uses a lot of effects, parameters etc...)
because cubase is so slow it requires a fast soundcard... (not the awe64) when the soundcard is to slow strange things can happen like distortion (in most cases by cubase)
SOME SOLUTIONS :
1) The speed of the AWE64 can also be degraded by the drivers... installing new drivers (including directx) may help !!!
2) Buy an extra soundcard (with a DIGITAL OUT) not an expensive one just a simple 16bit soundcard with DIGITAL OUT (I have heard that these things can be very simple created - search on '+electronics +digital +out +soundblaster +cheap')
3) Buy a faster computer - when the computer is faster your awe64 is faster (drivers react faster etc. etc.)
4) Mess around with the ASIO settings... may help...
