View Full Version : Windows Vista, Cubase Sx3, FireWire Solo and a song that have to be done...
Hey
I am actually trying the Windows Vista and I can say that I like it very much
But...
Cubase Sx3 don`t seem to have the same opinion with me. It just stop working when loading Asio Multimedia Drivers on the start up...
Cubase Sx3 and Nuendo 3 (yes, It dosn`t work also) are "old" Steinberg products and as they are saying here...
http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=65451
...they don`t support them anymore!?!! They want to sale Cubase 4 now so maybe this is the reason why everyone in the pro audio net community is complaining about SX3 and Nuendo 3 on Vista, but no one about Cubase 4...
M-Audio FireWire Solo drivers for XP don`t want to install by saying that they are not compatible with this operating system. M-Audio have no updates/drivers for Vista users that own FireWire Solo...
What an amateure behave.

That's not quite correct. These programs are still supported by Steinberg, but they will not be updated anymore. Asfar as Vista compatibility goes, nobody has ever specifically stated that SX 3 or Nuendo are supported in Vista. In fact, Steinberg lists XP Home or Pro only: http://www.steinberg.de/39_1.html. Cubase 4 is not supported in Vista yet, either: http://www.steinberg.de/987_1.html
What I don't understand is why you are trying to load software on an OS that is not supported by the software, then wondering why it isn't working.
If the song has to be done, then you should install your gear on a compatible OS.
My man you speek like you know everything but from your answer someone can easy understand that you don`t.
I don`t write this here for finding wonna be "smart guys" but for finding some solution on my problem.
However, I fix it even that officialy Steinerg don`t suport still Vista.
Some low profile dude had post a trick knowing that they are many users like me that have this problem.
So what ya sayin ?

Huh?
I'm trying to follow what it is you are saying. It's hard because you're not exactly speaking the king's english.
From what I can gather, you are trying to use Cubase SX3 with Windows Vista. Cubase SX3 supports Windows XP, but not Vista. It's an old versin of the software, and although registered users can still get tech support for it, Steinberg is no longer developing new versions of SX3.
This is essentially what tech1 (who happens to be an expert on professional audio applications in Windows and a Steinberg-certified support tech, so I'd say he knows what he's talking about) told you, but it's not what you wanted to hear, so you chose not to believe him, and insult him instead.
It's not a matter of whether or not it's "officially supported" by Steinberg. It's the simple fact that Cubase SX3 was written long before the release of Vista, and was never intended to be compatible. It simply doesn't work, and there is nothing you can do that will make it work. No tricks, no hacks, no secret handshakes. It just doesn't work.
There is a version of Cubase 4 that will work with 32-bit versions of Vista, but not 64-bit. Full support is coming, but not here yet.
I'm with tech1 - if the song really needs to be done, then why are you trying to do it with a software / OS combination that doesn't work?
So what ya sayin?
Audiodude:
I am saying that the song is ready.

English is not my first language and not even my third so learn more languages that me and come again.
But even you that know well english dosn`t seem to speak like a king.
So what ya sayin?

What he is saying...
Do not complain about software not working when using it on an unsupported operating system.

I was not complain, but searching for a solution. Don`t you think that is a lil diference between them?

The link you posted just pulls up an error for me and asks for a user name and password, so I'm not sure what you wanted me to see.
Do you mean "ready" as in "finished?" (If so, what is it that still needs to be done?)
The bottom line is that you are using software and an interface that do not work in Vista. Use the same software and the same hardware on a Windows XP system, and it should work.

Ok, I see the image now. It looks like it tried to run, but the screen didn't draw correctly. This is exactly what I would expect using software on Vista that was designed for XP.
The screen that you see is 100 stayble. I have open not one but two projects and they work.
This is not what you expect from a non "certified from Steinberg tech support expert", so pls, say that you was wrong and don`t try to argue your opinion with "...so I'm not sure what you wanted me to see..." and "... it tried to run, but the screen didn't draw correctly..." because it make you look like a beginer and this is not the best image for a site admin like you that snoob people that don`t speek "...the king's english..."
100 stayble = 100 % stayble
And for closing this discussion, I was searching as I said for a solution to my post and not for a English teacher. Thank you for the lesson anyway. I wrote this before I find the solution and this is why I said that the song is ready. Ready mean finish for the one that do not understand my English or English generally. Uff

All perceived insults and grammar lessons aside, what did eventually fix this? You said a "low profile dude had post a trick." Is there a link we can follow to see this trick? I'm just curious to know how people are able to get unsupported software working.
Sorry but I am not goin to do that. When i was searching for it, you and your friend insted of helping me, start teaching me english. Not you really, basicly I don`t know what make me saying you "you don`t know nothing".
But i can send prove that SX3 work on Vista with every way that you will ask.\
You can ban me now, so have a nice time!

So, you've got it working, and it's 100% stable. What was your question, then? I guess I don't follow. If you've already got it all figured out, what was the reason for your original post?

I re-read your orginal post. No where in it can I see you asking for help. Just stating that things do not work.
As for not posting the link so other can benefit from it, is just childish.

Cubase Sx3 don`t seem to have the same opinion with me. It just stop working when loading Asio Multimedia Drivers on the start up...
.
He likes Vista but doesn't have the same opinion of Sx3 because it stops working with Vista (supposition about Vista because of later comments).
Cubase Sx3 and Nuendo 3 (yes, It dosn`t work also) are "old" Steinberg products and as they are saying here...
http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=65451
...they don`t support them anymore!?!!
Legacy products aren't supported anymore and he doesn't like that either. Not sure if he is implying Vista only or any OS that doesn't support them.
M-Audio FireWire Solo drivers for XP don`t want to install by saying that they are not compatible with this operating system. M-Audio have no updates/drivers for Vista users that own FireWire Solo...
What an amateure behave.
He isn't happy that after attempting to load XP drivers on Vista they don't work. When he found out they were'nt compatible and there was no support for Vista he felt that wasn't professional.
I didn't see anything in his text that related to the subject line. Mostly comments and disatisfaction about going to Vista and not being able to use or update what he has. Lot of that sort of commentary in the threads, including by me.
There wasn't a direct question that I could see in the post, though he did point out a crash problem. I think that was answered as well as could be given the information provided.
I too would like to see not only the solution but also what exactly the problem was past "It just stop working when loading Asio Multimedia Drivers on the start up...", which could happen on any system or OS for many reasons.
He is trying 2 show his self as the smart one but he is saying b******* ...
I have 2 remember him that Vista is the continuation of Xp in the same way that 98 was the continuation of 95 at least in the eyes of the simple final user.
So is it really so strange that the I am disappointed by the fact that 2 big and important audio pro companies (Steinberg and M-Audio) do not support the latest PC OS (Vista) and the continuation of Xp?!
I am not speaking about the time when they "write" the programs. I am just saying that they know that Vista is coming but still they did nothing for drivers for their products ?!?!
If it is so strange for you, then it is your opinion, but from the first answer to this post i saw a ironic note. This is the subject that we maybe should talk about because I don`t have anymore a problem with SX and Vista at least.
I just saw that the link do not work anymore. Audiodude saw it. Whatevah, you can see the image by click-ing here:

I believe that by installing the latest syncro drivers, cubase will then install and work, but you need to update the dongle first. You will take a performance hit unless your running with a monster system....ie. Quad core processor and at a minimum 2GB of ram(I'd recommend 4GB as minimum for Vista/Cubase).

i`m running my ultimate version of vista on 3GB ram. I really dont know how did u install sx3 on vista.. because everyone looking for a way to install that sh... on vista. the only thing that I could done in vista was to find a driver for M-Audio Firewire Audiophile .
I really wanna know that how did u install that??!!!

Try upgrading the Syncro drivers first, then try installing cubase by browsing the CD and looking for the CubaseSX.exe file in the installer data folder.

I haven't, but you can upgrade the driver here.....

You may want to ask nagal for tips as I believe he has had some success in running a Vista/Cubase setup.
There are also some users that have claimed to have had some success over at the Cubase forum, you may want to check there as well.
However, if it's at all possible, I would stay with XP for DAW use(dual boot). You can also use another app. like Sonar or Cubase4.
I've read claims made that state CubaseSX was installable by first copying the CD to desktop and running the installer from there....it may be worth a try.
