Subject: slightly OT: AN1X/cubase problems

From: "Randy Johnson" <daltec@...>

Hello all, and please excuse my somewhat off-topic post. For some time now I have been using the midi features of Cubase to get music out of my AN1X w/o too many problems. I have not used Cubase's audio, preferring instead to stick with what I knew best (Deck and Vision DSP). Well, some time ago I thought I'd use the audio functions of Cubase to record my AN1X, and there my troubles began.

It seems that no matter what disk buffer and ram allocation settings I use, I always get these horrid clicks and pops when recording into Cubase. Large buffer, small buffer, lots of ram, not much ram, does not seem to matter. Even when recording a single mono track! I researched the steinberg pages and the cubase forums, where it seemed this issue was not all that uncommon. The best advice I got, however, was to experiment with the settings. Which of course I did, but as I said, it does not seem to matter much what combination of settings I use, I am always getting clicks and pops.

At any rate, my set-up is as follows: I am recording onto a 4-gig barracuda, internal scsi, 7200 rpm. It is not my startup or system drive. I am using a Mac 7500 (upgraded to a 233-mhz 604 processor), 224 megs of ram, OS 8.6, cubase 4.2.1., built-in audio (Sound Manager). I have 135 meg of ram allocated to cubase itself, and presently the disk buffer and memory settings are at the maximum. Note that I can record mono/stereo in Deck and Vision DSP without any problems at all, but Cubase just does not want to play ball.
I feel certain that there must be something wrong with my set-up or the settings I have made, but I sure cannot figure out what it might be. I know that alot of you guys use Cubase, so if anybody can shed some light for me, I would REALLY appreciate it. I am at my wit's end, and am also rather disappointed, becase as things stand now the audio featuers of Cubase are absolutely useless to me.

Thank you all for your patience! I really do appreciate it!

Randy Johnson
