rewire problem with cubase sx 3.1

On opening Live 5.0.1 as rewire slave to cubase sx 3.1, I get : "Live will not behave normally rewired to .. blabla" - does anyone else have this problem ?
Cheers

Hi gertwynens,

when this message box appears, Live is not called from the ReWire host properly.

Can you provide us with some ore details about your system?
- Which is your operating system
- Do you use other ReWire slaves

regards,
Alex

I'm on Windows XP (HE), and I also use Reason 3.0.4 as Rewire slave under Cubase SX but not together with Live. This was not a problem before installing Cubase SX 3.1 so chances are it is Cubase-related.

What Live says, exactly, on trying to open it as Rewire slave is this :
"Detected problems with the Rewire master application. Live will not behave correctly. Please refer to the Ableton support website ... etc. "

Thx.

Hi gertwynens,

so you start Cubase, activate the desired Ableton channels there and after that you start Live and get the error message?

That's right.

Hi gertwynens,

please search for a file called "ReWire.dll" on your startup partition.
Normally it is located in: "C:\Windows\system32"

Please check the product version of this file (right mouse click -> Properties -> Version -> product version).

Alex

I don't seem to HAVE a "C:\Windows\system32" folder ?!? (And files/folders are NOT hidden from view on my system..)

Hi gertwynens,

I'm really sure you will have such a folder. Be sure you make system folders visible too not only hidden folders.
Or make a complete search on all disk for "ReWire.dll". if this file would not exists at all you would never get any ReWire slave application to work.

Alex

I know, I know .. There SHOULD be such a folder - but all my folders, also system folders, are set to SHOW CONTENT and yet there does not seem to be such a folder on my hard drive ???? Very strange indeed. The search function can find neither a system32 folder OR a ReWire file on my computer although, as you say, it simply HAS to exist. Damned machines !!!!

Well,
I found the ReWire.dll !! The Cryptainer program shows the system32 folder (I SWEAR I could NOT get Windows to show it, NOR its content, by making system folders visible in the folder options

)

Anyway, it's version 1.5.2.89.
Maybe that helps ?

Cheers.

gertwynens,

...it's version 1.5.2.89.

The version seems to be up to date.

Please check if the "Release ASIO Driver In Background" option within Cubase is disabled (unchecked).
Start Cubase and uncheck "Devices --> Device Setup --> VST Multitrack --> "Release ASIO Driver In Background"

Eraldo Bernocchi,
which version of Live do you use and and which ReWire host application?

Alex,

I use Live 5 and Cubase SX 3.1
Set up as per my previous post

gertwynens · Post by **gertwynens** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 5:55 pm

YES !

That seems to have solved it.

Thanks a million Alex !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gertwynens,
good to know that it works now(apart from the fact that I could have thought of this earlier)

Eraldo Bernocchi,
I do not have a Mac version of SX 3.1 here at my place..Could you look if also the Mac version has a similar option to "Devices --> Device Setup --> VST Multitrack --> "Release ASIO Driver In Background"? I think it even has the same name but I'm nit sure...

Alex
