[cw-discuss] Cubase LE?

[jbrave]

Hello,

I noticed that there is an entry in the database for Cubase VST, so I  
downloaded and installed Crossover with the hope that I could run  
Cubase LE on my new Mac Mini (I can run the Mac version, but I want  
to use all my pc based VST instruments on my mac mini). When I launch  
Cubase in Crossover, it starts to launch (bouncing icon), but then  
just stops, no error message or anything. There is no real logging  
being generated as far as I know. The ASIO directx full duplex driver  
will launch (with an "undefined error" in its dialog box, then it  
does not see any audio i/o ports) and the  The ASIO Multimedia Setup  
will run, and will see audio i/o ports, and one can check  and set  
the buffers/latency etc, but Cubase will not run.

So: first of all, I want to get Cubase LE running. If anyone has any  
ideas on what might be needed, please let me know.

Second of all, there are no input audio ports detected I'll try it  
with some audio hardware firewired up, but I wanted my first tests to  
be with the out-of-the-box mini itself.

Also, is there a way to install drivers on crossover? For instance, I  
have a Tascam firewire audio interface (18 inputs and outputs, 24 bit  
96khz). Would it be better to A: install the drivers somehow into the  
bottle, or  B: to just use the drivers that are already installed on  
the mini (they are Universal Binary).

Another issue that would ultimately need to be addressed for Audio  
Apps ( and I think many many people would be interested in having  
this kind of functionality) is latency. The mac mini output shows up  
with 5512 samples of latency from the ASIO Multimedia Setup. That is  
prettymuch useless for any kind of real-time music making.

Thanks

Joel
