Do i have the wrong setup?

[Philip1988]

Cubase Artist 7 doesn't work at all.

I use a 2009 Mac Book Pro 8 GB RAM and a Focusrite Saffire LE that i connected via firewire. The VST performance panel is almost full and every few seconds the programm stops audio playing. once the programm doesn't work - i can't hear anything from iTunes or Youtube either. As soon as i close Cubase everything goes back to normal.

This is really depressing... can someone help me please?

thx philip

I'm not familiar with your rig, but one of the 1st things I do is check your ASIO control panel...what do you have enabled? For Cubase, you should select your particular audio interface/sound card. Then check your VST Inputs/Outputs (or VST connections) what do you have for Ins & Outs? Select at least a stereo pair In & Out for now.

If all else fails, simplify things to troubleshoot.... try temporarily disabling your audio interface and use Multimededia etc in your ASIO control panel to see if you hear anything.

That's all I've got

Definitley look @ whats been said.
Make sure to Turn off your system sounds.
Also, there's an option to 'release audio when in background' or something like that... DO NOT have it checked because if you do, then everytime you move cubase to the back, it relinquishes the audio.
That's when the rice get's burned...
