Thanks for the tip boys and girls.

I suppose calling Sonar a "toy" wasn't fair. I have used it but it just never seemed as fully capable, or at least as easily useable as Cubase. I recently lost...

I am a Cubase 4 user and Steinberg has announced the release of Cubase 5. I have been having problems for some time with the hardware key (dongle) that Steinberg issues and am frustrated that the...

Is there a DAW that does NOT need to tie up a USB port with a security key? Cubase4 is a pig on my iMac. I only have 2 USB ports and one needs to include my Virus TI synth.

Am I out-of-luck or,...

I use an iMac. It only has two USB ports. Steinberg Cubase4 uses a hardware key for security. The key is flakey due to not being plugged into the iMac directly (as was told to me by a tech support at...

Every time I try to write a product review I get an "invalid data" screen when I submit the form. My reviews stink or what?

I don't blame anyone for not wanting to deal with Windows in any form, (yeah I know another Microsoft basher), that is the reason I finally got fed up and went to an iMac. Too sweeeet!!

Now on to...

An update to make all this work fine is in the post;

I appears Waldorf has released an upgrade so that now the Waldorf Edition (PPG Wave 2.V, Attack drum synth, and D-Pole filter) are working optimally in Cubase4 (Mac OS-X universal binary).The link...

There seems to be a few snags with the great synth software PPG Wave 2.V.
Here is my system setup;
iMac OS-X 10.4.10
Cubase 4

When I load the PPG Wave 2.V it runs fine, I can edit the presets...

It is all working fine now. Thank you Matt and thanks to Native Instruments suppport team for solving this problem.

Okay, I see the updates on the web page at NI now. It appears they got my account straightened out. I am at work now and cannot figure out how to download them onto something (128MB file) that I can...

I contacted a rep at Novation about whether the SL series of ReMOTE controllers will ever be compatible with Universal Binary OS-X and Cubase4 anytime soon.

The reply was that they were working...

Another update...

I got the procedural email from the NI tech. I erased the files from my HD and opened Service Center to try to re-register Kontakt2. The Service Center still listed the software...

I suppose I wasn't very clear about the status in the last post.

I still do not have the busses available in Cubase4.

After having suffered through the analog tape years (kudos to Les Paul for that multi-track idea), in recording I'd say the most ingenious device was the merging of MIDI with computer sequencer...

I got to talk with a very nice and professional tech at Native Instruments. He said the account in my name didn't show a registered copy of Kontakt2, but would send me an email with a procedure to...

Yes, I meant to say VST 'Connections" dialog - not VST Instruments. Thanks for correcting me.

I do see the MOTU ASIO in my devices setup.

Another bizarre thing happened upon first install of...

I'll call them. Thanks!

It is odd to me that they can issue emails to me about registered user updates and such but can't find me as a registered user in their database.

I didn't change emails...

I recently upgraded from CubaseSE3 to Cubase4 and noticed the 4 BUSES available with the MOTU 828mkII are not showing up in Cubase4. They were useful for routing outputs to effects units (e.g. BUS 3...

Thanks Matt,

I finally received a support message back from NI (after two days). They are saying I don't have a registered version of Kontakt2. Of course that is not true. I registered the...

Does anyone else have difficulty with Native Instruments FORUMS and the so-called Service Center software?

I am a registered user of Kontakt2 which I bought from Sweetwater. When I registered,...

When I try to define an audio input for stereo from the 828mkII, I can only get one channel of a mono bus to respond in the audio track. I can define a stereo input bus, but the audio track doesn't...

The minimum platform for Cubase in order to run Kontakt2 as a VST plugin is Cubase4. Universal binary platform must be installed for Kontakt2 to be recognized as a plugin in Cubase.

Kontakt2 will...

Please understand that you MUST have at least Cubase4 (universal binary version) or Kontakt2 will NOT work as a plugin.

Kontakt2 will work fine as a stand-alone, but will only work in Demo Mode as...

Native Instruments replied with an answer to my plight. I must upgrade to Cubase 4 (Universal Binary platform) for Kontakt 2 to work in Cubase.

Too bad no one at Native Instruments or Sweetwater...
