Cubase LE users HELP

I've got two problems with my system (lexicon Omega, Cubase LE 1gig ram), that I can't get around. 1) I've got a 8K continuous tone in the right side. 2) Some tracks will play out of time. If I look at the waveform, you can hear the sounds play about 500ms before the actual wave hits. Doesn't happen on all tracks, only after you build up about 12 tracks. Anyone? I can't figure it out. — |

Did it use to work correctly? And it sounds like you don't have enough ram for problem number two. And/or the audio interface doesn't like it. 12 tracks is a lot for a simple home rig. |

1gb ram is only just enough to run xp. |

Also, I should point out I had tons of problems using two of my old PC laptops to multi-track record with. I love PCs, but as far as laptops go, you really need a Mac to record with. A desktop is different because you can buy a sound card for it. Also, as crumb mentioned, are you running XP, Vista or Windows 7? |

It uses the Lexicon drivers, Cubase requires 256, so I assumed that 1G was enough, (I know, can't have enough). The processor speed is fast, can't remember, but more than enough for Cubase requirments. I have a 1 TB external HD for archiving, Cubase is the only program running (beside the MS crap) and the OS is Vista. I have at least 100 GB of internal HD...the computer is just the audio work station nothing else. Its clean, defraged, dosen't even surf (the net). — |

If it is a desktop, look into getting a dedicated recording sound card. That should take care of your latency problems. Vista is a troublesome OS. It does require a lot of memory to run. Try opening task manager and ending the process dmw.exe But really, if you are running on a laptop, the problem is lack of a soundcard. I had a horrible time trying to get Sonar Home Studio 7 to work on my PC laptops. In fact, I never got it to work without latency. And I had an audio interface. |

Jake, I design audio systems for a living, when we discuss the latency of a processor, were talking micro seconds. My problem is at least a half a second. You can hear the sound way before you see the waveform scroll by. — |

That is what I was looking at with my recording issues, on my PC laptops. It was utterly frustrating. I was running Vista as well. I tried once with Windows 7 to the same result. That was Windows 7 Beta though... But even that was really stable towards the end of its run. I remember, back in the day, running Cool Edit Pro with a 10-15 tracks and having no issues whatsoever. |

Had a quick look on the net. Lexicon have a Asio driver for this model and they're saying buffer adjustments are critical. |

you need to be RECORDING to your external drive, not just using for archiving. give that a try... Good Luck! |

Brian, system is: Dell / pentium 2.8 GHz memory 1024 MB hard drive 80 GB internal Cubase requires: 1.4 GHz with 512 MB Dave, so Cubase should reside on the external also? Thanks Guys, we got new songs, maybe the end of this year at this rate. — |

Cubase should be installed on your system drive. It is highly recommended that you record to a seperate drive. I would also recommend taking your problems to the forums on Cubase.net - you might find people who can help you there. — |

I agree, a seperate clean drive which doesn't use virtual memory is best. |
