Anyone out there have Cubase SX? I am attempting to get it to recognize the Asio drivers for my Pro Tools rig and it will play audio out through my PT console, but will not recognize the channels on my MBox to record audio into the app. I think its some form of setting that I am missing to enable it for input caus I can use my hardware just fine with my PT software, but I wanted to use Cubase for VST's and DX plugs primarily and to learn how it functions just incase I have to use it in any studio sessions. :) If anyone has any idea's I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Jul 03, 2004 11:03 pm Ok, I'll start by saying that I have been remis in learning the computer specific technicalities pertaining to SX. I have concentrated more on the sonic aspects. I found the spot in the SX manual under Remote Controlling the Mixer pg. 12-262 in the version of the manual I have. Basicly you choose your controller from a list of MIDI controllers that should be present to SX post installation of the controllers driver. There is a rather limited list of supported controllers as of the print date of my manual. Stienberg, CM, JL Cooper, Radikal, Roland, Tascam, and Yamaha only.
Hope this helps.
I have a little Tascam 428 hooked up to mine and it does work well, obviously within the limitations of the physical device.

Jul 08, 2004 12:52 pm Thanks for the help Walt. I ended up finding out that it needed a reset from the software in the asio configuration utility that comes with the update for SX. (long story) I am now able to successfully record in SX or PT though. :) Let me know if you run across anything in SX thats interesting. I am attempting to figure it out to take a crack at the Nuendo systems eventually as I hear they are competing with PT for top industry standard. :)

Jul 08, 2004 03:56 pm My pleasure RG. As far as what is interesting, that is a very open question. I find the more I use it the more I abandon other applications. Even the wave editing function is very ample. I have really been digging into that lately with no dissapointements.

Jul 08, 2004 04:18 pm lol sorry, didn't mean to be vague with the question.
yeah, the two main things that bug me about SX is the mix window and then the fact that I can't access half the plugins that I currently own for Pro Tools (thats a different story all together though and I know they're not compatible by far and I have to export .wav's between systems to use them.)
Do you know of any way to customize the mix window a bit better more like a standard mixer setup? I guess it is just me being used to Pro Tools, but it seems like a whole new universe. lol

Jul 08, 2004 08:29 pm Sorry, on the mixer appearance I can not help at all. In as much as I have parentheticly grown up with Cubase, it is totaly logical to me. Starting with the input at top, moving down to output at bottom. I don't care for the equalizer set up at the top so I basicaly minimize the top half, bring in the masters from the right and use a minimal mixing display.
Jul 09, 2004 06:45 pm I know you can save your Mixer settings when you do hit the spot and use these every time for all your projects. I need to refresh on you do this with the manual again but its handy.
You can minimise/maximise the unused channels and/or define your VST Connections so you only have what you need but as to how you customise it further I Think is down to you own preference.
I personally think that the mixer in SX is better than Sonar but then I only ever used these 2 apps (and Pro Audio 9 a while back) so I am no expert.
