I've set up Cubase SX3 as my sample editor.
When I click the "Launch Sample Editor" button (labelled "Edit"), the Cubase splash screen appears. The messages on the splash screen indicate that Cubase is starting normally. However, when it gets to the soundcard (M-Audio Firewire 410) it just exits. Checking the Task Manager I see that Cubase is, indeed, not running.
Is anyone else using Cubase as their sample editor? Anyone doing this with an M-Audio soundcard?
Thanks.


[more info in case it's useful] Dell XPS Gen2 laptop, 2.1GHz, 2GB RAM, 60GB HD, M-Audio Firewire 410, M-Audio Ozone

Have you got the different apps set to use different drivers ie: Live should be 'M-Audio ASIO' whilst you set SX to use 'ASIO Multimedia' or 'ASIO Direct X'? If the 2 apps are trying to use the same driver then the audio engine for the app you open last won't boot...

In Cubase, search for, and check the box "Release ASIO Driver in Background". You might have to open Cubase first, before Live.

Thanks for the replies. Your suggestions worked.
However, when Cubase starts up, it does not open with the selected clip. This is what is supposed to happen, no?

i quess cubase will open just if youd open its exe file, so youll have to load sample manually
