;>>had going were pushing the limit already, but when I tried
>>>>>running them in v3, they started to glitch & have playback
>>>>>problems - you could see the CPU meter in the "VST Performance"
>>>>>window, go up a little more than it had in v1.xx - apparently
>>>>>just enough to cause problems). So I get a new mobo/CPU combo -
>>>>>an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ sitting on a Gigabyte GA-K8U with a ULi
>>>>>M1689 chipset.
>>>>>
>>>>>I install the new stuff, and expect the usual - a few glitches,
>>>>>a handful of reboots, and we're off & running, right? Nope.
>>>>>This thing has been a nightmare from day one - lots of issues,
>>>>>including getting stuck in a boot loop that took me half-dozen
>>>>>attempts of having to boot into "safe" mode in order to undo,
>>>>>and finally, getting stuck in another boot loop, at which point
>>>>>I even brought it to a service tech - never had to do that
>>>>>before... ended up having to wipe the hard drive clean,

>>>>>OK, so now it should be OK, right? I try to install the drivers
>>>>>for my RME Multiface, and no luck, the PC is not recognizing it.
>>>>>I e-mail Synthax (the folks that do RME support for the US),
>>>>>and they tell me that it might be my card - which is an older
>>>>>version and has been known on some systems to have problems -
>>>>>but the good news is for $40 and a return of my card, I can get
>>>>>a factory refurb which addresses these issues. So in the
>>>>>meanwhile I decide to buy a new card, since I've been wanting
>>>>>to go to 16 inputs anyway & I have two of the Multiface i/o
>>>>>boxes.
>>>>>
>>>>>I get the new card, install it, load the drivers, and after
>>>>>several hours of trying every combination of possible drivers,
>>>>>flash updates to the firmware, clearing out extraneous entries
>>>>>in the ASIO portion of the system registry, and another e-mail
>>>>>to Synthax just to make sure I'm not missing anything, I
>>>>>FINALLY get it to work... what worked was to reinstall the
>>>>>chipset drivers, THEN reinstall the RME drivers, then reboot.
>>>>>Why the chipset drivers? I dunno, I just figured I'd try it.
>>>>>I have major suspicions about this chipset by now, so why not
>>>>>give that a shot?
>>>>>
>>>>>So now we should be OK, right? It works, right? Nope, I install
>>>>>CubaseSX v1, which you have to have residing on the PC before
>>>>>you can install the v3 upgrade), install the update to v.1, and
>>>>>that all works fine, USB key is recognized, etc... everything's
>>>>>cool. Set a system restore point titled something like: "OMIGOD,
>>>>>SX V1 IS WORKING!", and proceed to install CubaseSX v3...
>>>>>everything's cool, USB license key is recognized, I open up a
>>>>>project & it plays fine... open up another project, same thing,
>>>>>everything's working (I'm missing some plugin's of course,
>>>>>because I haven't reinstalled any of those yet) then all of a
>>>>>sudden I get a glitch.... an error msg that spews out a bunch
>>>>>of numbers, and I didn't have time to grab a pen & write it
>>>>>down. Hmmm... SX won't re-open. OK, reboot. Now my USB License
>>>>>Key isn't being recognized... and neither is the key for SX v1.
