Hello, I was considering selling the cards. But I doubt I'd get much for them and (maybe I'm wrong) I don't even think there is much of a market for them. Considering what I spent, I know I would lose out financially and I accept that. In fact, I'd be happy if I got 600 euro for all three cards, pre...

you shouldn't spend more than about $400-500 to upgrade. do NOT get the latest hardware. it won't be optimal with 3 pci cards. get something about a year old... Hello again, If it is not too much hassle to ask, why is it a bad idea to get the latest? Plus what do you suggest with regard to an older...

Hi all, As you can see from the thread title it is time to upgrade my PC. I have 3 Scope cards: 2 6 DSP + 1 4 DSP. It's getting harder to find motherboards with 3 PCI slots, preferably more but they seem non-existant nowadays. I've been doing a bit of browsing trying to find suggestions for a good m...

the "hardware version 16" message is v4 trying to load at startup. as Greg says, you should rename the v4 folder or take it off the machine. it will make trouble otherwise, especially if you try to open an old project. most likely, the stdm connection message could be because you've excee...

Hi everyone, Long time no see. Really busy!!!!!!!!! I am still on Scope 4.5 (which is not a bad thing - at least it works). Not too long ago I tried for a second time to install Version 5 seeing it was the most recent version and my first attempt failed as this one has. It just won't work. I get an ...

Good luck with your new career. I didn't actually have any direct contact with you, but it is clearly obvious that you will be missed by many here. My best wishes to you.

if you plan to record dry guitar tracks to be amped with dynatube, i found POD pro a very good choice. you can set pod pro as a "tube-preamp" modeler, add some drive and EQ control. you can even add distortion, if you want. then, with the spdif, you send a VERY clean signal to dynatube. t...

i think a good troublshooting session is in order Atomic Marshmallow, as i haven't heard of anyone else having this problem (other problems but not this one). i like the grey, it calms my retina. i only have 2GB of RAM, i think it's something else in your system (but i'm no expert, garyb's your man...

Hi all.. Probably a stupid question...but... If I have two partitions, both with 4.5, can I install the v5 on one of the two? Many thanks. Bye.. All I can tell you is my experience. I tried installing version 5. I renamed my 4.5 folder in the hope that I could revert back to 4.5 if 5 didn't work. U...

yes. ram wasn't the problem to begin with... What do you mean garyb? I take back what I said in my previous post. Despite my Ableton startup project reading the same value of 23% before and after adding RAM, I have noticed significant CPU headroom in playing about now. Cubase 5 is a real CPU hog. E...

A SATA drive is good for recording audio as they are a little bit faster that pata drives. That way, they don't need to be your C drive and will not change challenge codes (i never record or install samples on C drive, to leave the speed of the disk for windows and swap files: it is better to have ...

by the way, about pushing the ram hard: I guess you have opened the "security" brackets on the ram slots ? (i am sure you did). But it is not abnormal that you have to push hard (except if you have to use a hammer).... On my gygabyte mobo, it is the pci slots that are a bit too tight and ...

Great news! 8) Computers can be a real pain the ass sometimes! :D Yes, it normally quite difficult to push/click RAM into place. Sometimes it seems to take a crazy amount of pressure & it's even worse if you're trying to fit it in a system where the mobo is attached to the case with shitty plas...

Thank you Cortone, SpaceF,Garyb and Shroomz for your responses. You have no idea how grateful I am! It turned out to be the graphic card not being seated properly. I was in the process of removing everything from the mainboard. Starting with the graphic card first. I couldn't quite figure out how to...

Hi all, Thank you all for your responses!! I won't be able to try all your suggestions for a few days as I have no time. This has been a shitty day. I really hope it's just a case of reseating stuff. So far the only thing I have tried is removing the RAM. I removed them all and started replacing the...

Hey AM, Not good! Here's a couple of things to try. First, note the beep pattern (i.e., 3 short beeps, or a long beep followed by two short beeps, etc.) that you hear at power-on. These are usually debug info sent out by the BIOS to describe the error (not always). You can look up BIOS beep codes o...

Hi My perfectly working desktop isn't working anymore. I decided to put two more GB of RAM in and it didn't work from then on. I am quite certain I have the correct RAM type. I took out the two new RAM chips to go back to the state it was originally in and still nothing. I can't think what I could h...

You can run a stereo channel to the scope pc and a midi connection to the scope pc and sync both sequencer with midi timecode.(If scope can recieve and transmit mtc to the sequencer dest).That should work fine,try it out. :) What sequencer are you running on both pc´s? Cubase 5 and Ableton 6.0.10. ...

S/pdif is a 2 channel digital audio format.You could send a stereo signal to scope with it. So could I use the laptop to run say Guitar Rig and a couple of soft synths via Ableton or Cubase and use the stereo signal of the master outs from the sequencer going into Scope via SPDIF? But isn't there a...

Hello all, I have recently discovered that my Novation X-Station 25 which I use for my laptop setup, has an SPDIF connection. Sorry for the basic question, but does that mean that I could run my laptop setup into Scope, so lessen the CPU strain of VSTs I am running on my desktop? If so, would everyt...
