Vst system link errors

In my experience, reasons for seeing errors in VST System Link (VSL) are usually due to the digital signal path (audio and/or data) not being routed properly within the System Link dialog box. If for example, you're using s/pdif between two ASIO 2 compatible audio cards properly (OUT of card #1, to IN of card #2 - then OUT of card #2 back IN of card #1), you also have to set your s/pdif System Link I/O channels in the dialog box to the 'same' channel...If say your options are s/pdif channels 9 & 10 (or whatever they are), you set the I/O's of both computers VSL dialog boxes to either channel 9, or all to channel 10. You of course need to route your digital audio properly within your audio interface! (see your cards documentation on that).
You can test if it's routed properly by 'listening' to audio from each computer, from the other...meaning listen at computer 2, from computer 2 & visa-versa. If you hear the audio thhen it should be correct. But in order to 'hear' the audio (besides proper settings in the VSL dialog box) you must 'also' set those digital audio s/pdif channels within Cubase's VST Inputs/connections. But in 'this case', you use both channels 9 & 10 for your Inputs/Outputs. They also say it's best to place your VSL digital audio channels at the top of the Inputs/Outputs list.
You do not need to keep the s/pdif channels in the VST Inputs/connections to make System Link work however, that's if you need to 'listen' or if you need to test whether it's routed properly.
Getting VST System Link working can seem complicated at 1st, but once you understand, and have it working, you realize it's actually not that hard at all. I recommend taking notes, and writing down what you did to make it work, as you go along the way. That has come in very handy when I need to use it again. Also READ your PDF manual and follow that to the letter!

In cubase go to "Devices", there select "Device Setup", in the Device Setup windows go to "VST Audio System", on the top right you will see the "ASIO Driver" drop down menu, click it and select your sound card from the list. Also take a look into VST Connections.

How to use USB device like a USB microphone, or USB guitar Cable in CubaseThis was a frustrating problem for me and I found most forums did not really helpAfter hours of annoyance I finally figured it out and it's a very easy and quick fix.1.Download free ASIO4ALL 2.8 here http://download.chip.eu/en/ASIO4ALL-2.8_108174.html and then restart cubase2.Click Devices and Open Device Setup3Click Vst Audiobay and Change the Master ASIO Driver to ASIO4ALL v24.Underneath Vst AudioBay Click ASIO4ALL and Click Control Panelhighlight All devices you wish to use and Enable them.5.Still in Device Setup hit VST Inputs and check to make sure all Devices are there6.Exit Device Setup and under the Devices open VST connectionsClick add bus, and Add Busses. Your Sound Device should be the first Bus that pulls upand the other busses will automatically be whatever the USB Devices you enabled were.7.Last thing and very important, when you open up a new Audio track Right click where it shows Stereo in. Your usb devices will start at stereo in 2 and depending on how many you enabled go up in numbers from there.In my particular case I have a Blue Snowball usb mic as my first Device (stereo 2)and a Usb Guitar Cable interface as my second device (stereo 3)*If you would like to hear and test your sound prior to playback simply click the monitor button and unclick it at playback.That simple, there you go.This will work, takes and takes less than a minute.

better , you can use it by nuendo or cubase sx. over all you try it cubase device setup and click vst system or switch vst audio bay. for more help call me +8801711904316

During your computer's boot sequence, watch for a notice telling you which key to strike to ENTER SETUP. This will take you to your BIOS management. Find and disable Intel SpeedStep, C1E, or EIST, or related PowerNow! settings on AMD processors. These power saving settings are designed to slow down or shut down one or more cores of multi-core processors during times when the operating system thinks that the processing power is unnecessary, but running advanced DAW software such as Cubase draws power at very near the full system capacity, and it takes a long time to reboot the temporarily suspended processor cores. During this core reboot lagtime, Cubase is often deprived of the processing power needed to route audio signals through its complex internal bussing system (Steinberg's patented VST system link), and this power loss causes it to crash. If you disable the SpeedStep settings in your BIOS, you may notice a very gentle rise in your electric bill, as your computer's processor will be running at full capacity all the time, but you can always re-enable SpeedStep when you're not planning on recording anything.

You sucks man !

vb-1 is a cubase virtual instrument this is where cubase was stalling, When i uninstalled cubase i went into the vst plugin folder and saw the folder vb-1 [virtual bass] I read the text file within and it told me to copy the dll files within into the active vst plugin folder. when i re installed cubase all was well. I have been using cubase for years and did not have this problem until i installed the e-mu 0404 pci card, or the audigy card

I've had this problem and similar ones. Following these steps seems to help:

Starting Cubase before switching on the Omega.

Go to 'Devices' and then 'Device Set-up'. Make sure you're in the 'VST Audio System' part of the menu. Make sure the Omega is selected as the ASIO driver - if not, switch it. Then click on 'Set to Defaults', then 'Apply' and 'OK'.

Or re-setting the Omega sometimes helps too.

It's a pain, though.

you need to unzip the plugins to your 'vstplugins' folder

this folder usually is in
c:\programs\steinberg\cubase sx3\vstplugins
or
c:\programs\steinberg\vstplugins
