Help with MOTU 828 MKII, 8pre, and Cubase SX3

I recently purchased a MOTU 8pre to expand the number of microphone preamps on my 828 MKII so my band can record a demo with a full drumset. I'm running Cubase SX3, and I can't figure out how to set it up so that I have 10 different inputs (8 from the 8pre, plus the 2 on the MKII) recording at once in Cubase.

Loading Cubase SX3 files in Essential 4?

Hi all, hopefully someone can help me.

I've been given the opportunity to purchase Cubase Essential 4, but I have previously been using SX3. I found a file compatibility chart that says that I cannot open SX3 files in Essential 4, but I also saw somewhere else that said it's possible to open the files, but I'd lose some data.

Can anyone clarify on this?

Thanks.

Cubase sx3 input/tempo issue

So I'm having 2 problems. I'm embarassed about them but I'll ask anyway.
I'm using a Sound Blaster Platinum card and I plug my input into the "mic 2/line in" input. For some reason, I only have this trouble in Cubase but for the life of me, I can't find the place to specify that this is the input I'm using! Does anyone know where I can apply this setting?

Problems with SX3 - Questions about reinstallation

Hi - I am trying to deal with some issues on certain plugs that SX3 started having problems with, during the initializing process while Cubase was starting up. The conclusions on the Cubase board was that I would probably have to do a complete OS reinstallation as my registry was probably screwed. This wasn't on my top 10 list of things to do but I am willing to do it if nothing else works.
