Bugs, problems, setup and fixes

smoochy


i've been running the v on vista 64 bit since it came out... had the first one issued in Canada.   i trust that you've updated the firmware... that's the first thing it should clear up the driver problem.  made a big difference with the drivers.   next... i hope you weren't planning on using the v synth.... unless you want to load the 32 bit software and run both.  other wise it's a boat anchor.  other than that the v has performed pretty good.  also unless it's an audio track the meters on the console won't indicate.  it's apparently a bug their working on so don't be surprised if you don't see any activity on the meters when it's a midi track.... to tell you the truth they could have fixed it already and i just haven't noticed... i don't really look at the meters that much anyways.  the surround features of the the v studio where awesome i definitely recommend you set up for surround... the console and software excelled in that department.  your going to dig it.

I updated the firmware and ran all the updates possible when i installed the vstudio a week ago.  I'm now having a curious problem in addition to my other ones.  When running sonar 8.5 the v console stopped responding like it should and used to.  No time code, fakers unresponsive , no lights when selecting a track etc... After turning sonar off and on and a couple of reboots later it is back to normal.  Even though it now works fine, this kind of instability worries me.  My only guess is that I installed sonar 8.31 updated drivers, installed v studio, then installed 8.5 and that because of this order of installation, I've created 2 sets of drivers in my registry maybe?? are you using 8.31 and 8.5?

thanks for your response.

Hi Craig,

Thanks for your reply.

Under "options", "audio",  the box that you can normally select the default bit depth is grayed out and cannot be changed.  It is stuck at 24 bits but  when running Sonar the lower right hand section of sonars window indicates that it is running at 48000 16 bits.  Is there a different area in sonar where the bit depth of a project can be altered? Could it be that i should completely disable the mobo audio so it doesnt interfere at all?

By rca I meant spdif, sorry about that. 

and as far as the console acting strange goes -- it seems to be back to normal (without me changing anything other than doing a series of reboots)
Initially I installed 8 on the new system, updated to 8.31, installed the vstudio, updated vstudio drivers and firmware, configured it in 8.31 then installed 8.5, then configured vstudio for 8.5.  I was taking a guess that the faliure in 8.5 might have been driver related because the vstudio worked fine in 8.31 after it failed in 8.5. I am using 32 bit plug ins so maybe the 8.5 bit bridge isnt too solid yet, but I was also loading a blank project to try to get the console to work.  I guess I'mn going to cross my fingures and hope that it doesnt happen agian.
