Hi All,
I was called into troubleshoot a midi setup yesterday, the owner of the
system
complained that as soon as playback started from Cubasis, a dialog box
appeared
stating that audio hardware was not responding and playback was stopped. The
audio hardware appeared to be working fine from media player several other
applications.
After much head scratching, I found that the problem was caused by the AWE64
not being able to play FM voices at the same time as audio. To fix this
problem, run 'MME Setup', and on the output list set FM to inactive.
I hope this helps anyone else with the same problem.
Bye bye!

assistant: Hi Miguel,
In a message to All you wrote:
The reason that the voice lists on Cubase do not correspond to Proteus voices
is that Cubase
 is using a General Midi (GM) voice list (00=Piano 01=Bright Piano Etc). You
have several choices,
you can either set up a program change map on the Proteus to redirect the
numbers to correct voices,
or have the Proteus manual open in front of you and look up the correct
numbers
there. The third option
may not be supported on Cubase but that is to create a custom voice list. All
of the above involve a
certain amount of work, but if we did not suffer for our art, could we call
it
art still:-)
To enable Cubase to record system exclusive, on the options menu, you will
find
a 'Midi filter' dialog,
Make sure that there is no tick under 'Record System Exclusive'
P.S. I run Cubase ver 2.6 - I hope that the interface has not changed so much
that you can't find this
option.
Bye bye!

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello.
The Zone 1 Backbone only carries echoes listed in the Zone 1/2 EchoList.  It
seems that the listing for this echo has expired.  Thus, it will be necessary
for someone to assume the moderatorship and list it if it is to remain on the
Zone 1 Backbone.  There is a three month grace period to accomplish this.
For more information please consult these files:  BOFAQxxx.TXT and
ELISTxxx.ZIP, where "xxx" is the version number.  They are available from

Write your reply.

assistant: A friend of mine has both Cakewalk Pro 3.0 and 5.0 for Windows and is using
Windows 95 on a 166mhz Pentium computer.  His printer is a HP Deskjet 600.
When he tries to print out the staff view sometimes it will work but most of
the time it will give some sort of conflict error and freeze the computer so
bad that you have to hit the reset button.
Twelve Tone Systems notes that there is a problem with some of the Deskjet
printers and Cakewalk and says the fix is simply installing the generic HP
Deskjet driver and using it to print.  Problem is that the printer won't even
recognize that driver and won't print anything from any program.
I have a Deskjet 540 and installed it on his computer and everything works
great.  (No, I don't want to swap printers with him.)  Does anyone here use
the Cakewalk programs and have an HP600?  I've tried about 6 different
Deskjet drivers and can't get his 600 to talk to any of them except the 600
driver.  What can I do next???

Call the HP tech support folks while you have everything set

the window until the HP techs helped me sort it out. They were
very nice - and very helpful. My problem had to do with
remnants of old drivers left in Windows. The programs didn't
know which DLL was the correct one. Your problems may be
different, but give HP a chance to help you.
