● “666” error on processing particular Audio Events

I have one of the longest running threads on their forum about the 666 error. I started it May of 2015. Been trying for literally YEARS to get this fixed. A lot of people have. Up until right now they completely denied it existed. Up until like literally 30 seconds before the update was released if you've been following the current thread over there on page 1. Unreal. I'm glad it's fixed, but it's still unreal.

Well guys. CbB's running great. Studio One has been exorcised. 2.5 decades of complaining and my job is finally done. I guess I'll say my goodbye's and go slither off in to the woods and die now. LOL!

Side topic: When I bought SO3 I found the remote app didn't work. Some said it was due to certain wifi modems not being compatible, so I wrote it off.

Now I have a different wifi and tried it again. Still not working.

Found a forum post about the issue with a YouTube that shows why and how to fix it. It now works, so not sure if it was ever about the wifi. :S

They are notorious for this. Try running an external hardware loop through one of their interfaces. ?

There's tons of video's showing people at Presonus doing it. I thoroughly RT*M, many times. Asked for help on their forum, from them, nobody had any input on how to make it work other than RTFM. Turns out you have to disable the software mixer in their Universal Control software that they force you to run for the drivers and it is not in any manual anywhere. I was just about to return the interface thinking it was defective when the search algorithm on YouTube made some obscure tutorial video pop up from a guy who could barely speak English. "Step #1, turn off the virtual mixer in Universal Control.". Boom. Problem solved.

I'm really glad you go it figured out although it took so long! Took me almost 3 weeks of trying before I finally gave up and was about to return the unit.

There's definitely some nice new features. I like how you can draw strumming patterns on midi chords. I do a lot of rhythm parts with acoustic and it's really hard for me to record acoustic in my crappy room. There are a lot of great acoustic guitar samples out there, some free. I'm anxious to give the new strum drawing feature a try with it. I also really like the new Loudness Export settings but they screwed up and made it only available in the Project page. It needs to be in the Song page too.

They also have a new proprietary dithering algorithm they made and they claim that you should use it for making MP3's. That's the first I've ever heard anyone claim you should use dithering to make an MP3.

With each new release it becomes more difficult to stick with Cubase...

I have Cubase 11.5 and still have not cottoned to it.

In one instance it did a really great job of (literally) automatically creating a tempo map for 4  songs recorded live in 1974 off a two track digitized master from a cassette.

 

After that I just exported the tempo map so I could import it into Studio One.

After installing this I got my first ever bug/crash with Studio One. I heard a pop and then the Master volume was pegged at max red volume. No sound. I couldn't get the master volume unpegged no matter what I clicked/dragged. It was fix by saving and restarting Studio One. it's been fine since then.
