Help! New to the forum and to the world of DAWs. I have an XS8, and am trying to do two things.

Re: newbie needs help recording to Win XP
Neither of the soundcards you mention are what could be described as ‘professional’ and this will show in capabilities and features, but most particularly in sound quality. It may be that to get the best out of your system you need to invest in a pro soundcard - these are not necessarily expensive but will enable you to do what you need to do at the level of quality you need.

When you save an ALL file, all of the tdetails get saved, including any samples currently in RAM.

Re: newbie needs help recording to Win XP
I upgraded the firmware to 1.10, and for some reason all of the song and voice data were preserved - different from the first time I tried upgrading. I did get the files backed up - I used the save all feature and saved everything to an .XOA file. And I noticed the feature to load everything except the system data, so I should be good for future upgrade needs.

Sorry, there have been many updates and version changes… mostly you will find this is a good thing… and there are more to come, as the XS is a very living and breathing phenomena…

Re: newbie needs help recording to Win XP
Thanks much for the lengthy response. There’s a lot to glean and I certainly will be going over it. Has anyone encountered Cubase opening all sorts of windows simply by playing different keys on their motif? Miy version (Cubase 4 AI) is exhibiting this behavior, and it’s enough to make me look for another software package…

Don’t look for another software package… all you need to do is set this one up properly.

I felt the same way when I first got behind the wheel of the Ferrari, but the more I drive it, the more I realize that it is a high performance vehicle and worth the trouble!!!
