I've been into some other stuff. Nothing special. Just:

1) moved to a new city
2) got a new job
3) bought an apartment
4) found a new favorite sports (disc golf)

About the original "announcement", yes, I neither have heard anything official, just a carefree promise from a SonicCore's support person.
I don't see why he would give total lies. So maybe there's still hope.

And at least I initiated some discussion :D

Did I choose my wording a bit.. eh, carefreely? Maybe careless would have been better?

I regret if my expertise in english philology is inadequate for constructing lingual assemblages that are of high enough level to enter the deeper minds of fellow Scopers.



(Ugh, did that make any sense :D)

Hey, I just heard on the Cubase forum that Scope drivers actually work with Vista!

here's the link: http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/viewtopi ... 654#660654

The vaticanSIN character had it on his signature - then confirmed it!

So, anybody gave it a try yet?

VaticanSIN is me, i been running Scope under Vista with Cubase since day 1 and works, but its not 100% but neither it was under XP with the little bugs. I am a bit of a hypocrit winging all year for Vista drivers when i could run it under Vista in XP mode... but the real hastle was i had to make everything else run on XP mode, Cubase, Wavelab, basically anything that whent through Scope ASIO.

Hello djsainz! Nice to see you 'round here... well, I'm the Tjakob character (stupid alias, I know, but I'm very bad at this, and all good names are taken ;) )

But that was some piece of news - I was just surprised I hadn't seen anyone 'round here with this bit of info, that's why I rushed over and spread the word...

I don't usually visit Cubase's forum, as it is too depressing. Damn, even I get in <angry mode> when I go there... What a strange company, that Steinberg... Cubase is such a great program, why can't they make it work before they try to "improve" on it? They had it easy these last years, without any competition from Logic... Things are about to change now, for sure. Right now, Cubase is hugely overpriced, especially considering the known bugs and limitations that make it the WRONG choice for a minimally professional setup. But I digress.

So, in order to use scope with Vista, you have to configure the whole system to work in "XP mode", or just the sfp application? I never used Vista for audio, just for stuff in the office, so I don't know these things yet... But, if I understand correctly, setting up th OS this way will reduce performance, probably even when comparing to XP?

We still need new drivers, then. I'd be happy if Sonic Core would let us know a time-frame for the driver update - 2008? 1st quarter, 3rd quarter, 2010? :-? Even considering the Solaris thing is taking up a lot of their time, it's not reasonable for a company not to have some sort of plan for their products - they're either not thinking about it, unless you ask them, of course, or they just don't want to tell us. Maybe it will never happen, maybe they'll do it in a couple of hours before new years eve, just out of the blue... But there's just no way to get a piece of their minds...

Anyway, thanks for the Vista tip, I hope Cubase doesn't get to your nerves as much as it's been getting to mine... I just got my v7 of Live, and tonight I'll be trying it out. I always enjoyed Live a lot, and, while being faithful to its orignal intent, it's been growing very well, and turning into a massive app. Excellent costumer support, too. I wish other companies would be more like Ableton.

Funny thing, but I get the feeling that there's more music made with Live that's getting released than music made with, say... Cubase! Of course, maybe there's just more music being made in Live, because it actually works...

Cheers,

T

Hi Tau,

Ok, to get Scope platform working under Vista, make the installer XP compatible(if you can intall it, havent done it for almost a year) , then make the sfp.exe file that runs the scope program, XP compatible. Once you done all that make Cubase XP compatible then it should run fine. If you want 96Khz then you first have to run the Scope platform 44.1 then run Cubase, have it sync under Scope ASIO, then change Scope to 96Khz.

Thats basically what i have to go through everytime i want to make music... one of the reasons I am constantly hovering in this forum to hear any news.

No, you did not missunderstand, it was my vagueness... once it's set to XP mode it stays like that forever.

Thats right, but this time its solely Steinbergs fault, not Scope nor Windows. It worked fine under Cubase 4.0 and they broke it under Cubase 4.1.
