That’s a dense post so hard to make sense of it all. But just in case: there have been many posts about cubase 64 bit on windows 64-bit still finding and using the 32 bit vst plugins. I lost a week of work time trying to puzzle it all out as a new user. Basically, if you don’t use or ever want to use the 32 bitters, seek out and destroy them (save them to a backup somewhere …)
hi
no plugins at all except intern from c8
one vsti … bfd 3 in 64 bit mode
i dont know where else to look .
its plain to me that this post should be in the other forum but i have more chance of it being seen in here
the above post was a copy to what i sent to the focusrite forum …
no reply’s yet .
the audio card uses a 32 bit interface driver … or so it reads —
i wonder is this the cause or is cubase having problems with the asio and i/o from the audio card or is windows 8.1 just not up to working with A/V media ???
I know its not a palatable solution but have you considered trying (buying/borrowing) a different audio device to see if that works. I speak from my experience of trying 5 different audio devices on my macbookpro before I found one that didn’t glitch. Also you could try another DAW perhaps (in demo mode for a while?).
I just recently had a live chat with someone at Focusrite through their website. They were helpful, although it was only a simple licensing question. I did have to wait about 20 minutes for them to initially respond though.
hi Mike
thank you so much for yor input …
the guys at F.R are on it as we speak… if all else fails it could still be the unit itself … so as it is new i still have cover … i hope not though as i need to start writing and recording real soon … i have wasted enough time as is and that was my fault haha but now i want to work again i cant … murphys law i guess
cheers .
