Note from mod- here’s a thread for early adopters to troubleshoot for each other if you would like to, since there is no official Windows 10 tech support yet. Please stay on topic.
Not for me using Asus P9X79, RME 9632 and ATI 5450.
What i did:
recovered fresh Windows 7 x64 backup image
upgraded to Windows 10
installed ATI, RME, eLicenser latest versions
installed Wavelab 6 Studio
till here everything went fine and seems to work
installed C8 Pro with no problems
first start C8 Pro → hangs while initializing VST 2.x Plugin Padshop
system reboot → C8 starts fine
loading Halion SE hangs
testing Wavelab 6 again → hangs initializing Padshop
I tried “run as administrator”, but no luck. I’m logged in as local user/administrator.
I forget to mention that I already tried that. The elicenser maintenance freezed at about 20% in step 1. I waited 30-40 minutes and had to force close eLicenser.
There seems to be at least one usb port on the backside of my computer, where i had originally connected my two Steinberg keys via an usb hub, that is not working properly. The problem is, that eLicenser Control does not indicate a possible problem (shows all licenses - no error msg) and Cubase does not throw an error message too. So you think it’s alright.
Connecting them to another usb port seems to fix the issue. I can load and play Halion SE now.
I went through and did the upgrade only to find out that Windows 10 and the VIA Firewire do not get along. With that said the Sapphire Pro and my drive were not recognized by Windows 10 so I had to roll back to 7. I didn’t even get to see if Cubase or anything else would really work because without a soundcard, the rest is kind of pointless.
@roel
The beta drivers are USB drivers for the scarlett interfaces.
"We have become aware of a connectivity issue running Saffire units on Windows 10 connected to firewire cards with a VIA chipset. We are currently investigating this issue as a top priority. In the meantime, if you are using a VIA chipset, we recommend you do not update to Windows 10. " -Focusrite webpage
I’m using latest Windows 10 RTM, no issues in terms of crashing that I know of, I haven’t ran Cubase 8 on any other Windows verisions on this build yet.
However, I’m very new to Cubase 8 and Cubase in general, and apologies if this is too off-topic, but can I not select a driver other than ASIO (with USB audio.), or is this an issue with Windows 10? I just want confirmation that it may or may not be a bug.
Thanks R, I’m aware of how ASIO works, but for example the DAW I just migrated from (Image-Line FL Studio), you could switch between MME and ASIO. After conversing with a friend of mine that has been using Cubase for awhile, he confirmed to me that it wasn’t possible.
The reason I needed this, was ASIO locked control of the driver device, and I was trying to do a screen recording but I know from FL that it’s difficult with ASIO mode. However I think I figured it out using a program called Virtual Audio Cable and a tutorial I found on YouTube.
Now that I re-read this thread and the sticky concerning the topic, it does seem like my projects/vst channels are loading/unloading more slowly than it seems it should be, in addition to the processing driver load being a bit high, but it’s not bad enough to not use the DAW.
EDIT: For reference here are my machine specs:
Gigabyte GA-970A-D3SP
AMD FX 6350
G.SKILL Ripjaws 8GB
HiS AMD R9 270 2GB
