Cubase SX Output advice needed

[sirade]

me: SB live 24bit with asao4all V.2.7 , 2 in 8 out

Cubase SX v 3.1.1

 

My question is in the output bus section im using the 6.0 music out and placing certain track on different speakers locations. However when i try to record it only offer me the first two channel.

How do i record the midi to an audio track and keep the speaker output location. further more how do i keep the speaker locations with the final mix to CD?

 

I have done some more experimenting witht he outputs. I can get the 6 speaker output correct if i export to a WMA file but all tries with export to wave or mp3 states that only the 1st 2 channels will be recorded.

 

I'm hoping i over looked something simple here. I have been experimenting with the output buses and the 6.0 music is my fav set up so far.

NVM i figured it out. I was able to port all 8 speaker out puts correctly to a stereo output in cubase. I need a better sound card but sb live beats te onboard card i have.

i still havent fixed my problem. the hard drive is now at 30% free,but the glitches are still here. am in the process of liberating as much space i can but its taking lots of time..

 

if i free the drive and still cant fix the problem i will switch to cubase or reason. sucks though cause i got kinda used to Fruity loops....

 

and i cant get the asio4all to work...

I have never gotten the hard drive to give me an issue. In fact i have never seen it show 1 pins. I do however get the CPU to max out, but that can easily be fixed by freezing a midi or converting to an audio track.

 

I have been in the Information Technology <I.T.> industry for the last 6 years. So with my experience i might recomend the following.

 

Simple stuff 1st.

 

1. Defrag your HD. 1st cleanout temp and recycle bin

 

2. Make sure all drivers are up to date. Including your mother board bios.

 

3. Depending on your hard drive ide or sata I'd swap out your ide cabel or ribbon. there is new technology with the cabels that allow faster bit transfer. Cheap fix

 

4. power supply issues, lack of power due to video card or other internal hardware can cause issues and a chain effect through out your computer. Try opening your box and unplugging your CD rom. Easy fix. Cheap enough to purchase a new more powerful power supply.

 

5. New hard drive. Newer technologies have faster bit transfer. Hard drives are cheap enough to get a decent HD with fast Bit transfer.

 

6. Memory. I have 2 gb of ram in my pc. Ram is cheap but make sure you get the correct type of ram for your mother board.

 

Don't know if this will help but it might help somone out there.

thanks mate!

 

I hope I'll manage to finally fix that damn bug!

 

defrag etc,is done on a weekly basis so I rule that out. I will try some of the other hard-core stuff you mentioned if all else fails...

 

its really frustrating
