Cubase 5 volume of some VSTs keeps going to 0

This is a bit of an odd one.
I had my system working fine for several years, then my PC motherboard died.
I bought a replacement PC and re-installed everything.
But I now have an odd problem.

For SOME (but not all) VSTs, every so often (and this varies from 1 second to 10 minutes) the volume on the instrument drops to zero.

Plugin for Volume And Frequency Needed

Hi guys, I'm looking for a plugin to use as an instrument tuning effect that displays the fundamental frequency for the note/pitch your playing at. Now this effect would use that number to control a volume knob that will turn the volume of the audio up and down in real time with the changes in the fundamental frequency.

Volume Normalizer for wav Files?

Hi guys!

Some of you may have heard of a program called 'mp3 Gain', which allows you to balance the volume levels of your mp3 files so that they're all roughly the same. It doesn't remove the dynamics within each track (or each album even), but basically just allows you to control the general playback level of each file. Very handy tool, and I've been using it for years.

Clipping guitar pedal loses mojo when volume lowered

So.. I'm recording some guitar and one side of the channel clips or the waveform periodically looks like a solid block, but when the volume is lowered or attenuated in any way, the pedal being used by the guitar totally loses it's 'mojo'. WTF?

Any ideas on how to cure clipping in a situation like this? I've tried several different things and nothing has helped yet..

Mic isn't plugged in, still reading max volume. what the. .

Forums

Unless I've missed something, a midi to usb cable can't record sound without a microphone on the other end. but heres the thing, weather my mic (mxl 990) is plugged in or not, my computer reads a constant max input level from just the usb and if you record this you get a sound almost similar to feedback, but much quieter and softer.

Volume control for Active Speakers

I'm looking for an analog volume control knob to put between my Firewire soundcard (MOTU 896mk3) and Active monitors (Focal Twin6)
I don't want to just lower the volume in my DAW or on the soundcard because it'll reduce the bit depth resulting in a lower quality signal at the DA stage of my soundcard. I'd like to keep all 24bits in use.

Audio Interface "volume" controls...

Hi,

Are the monitor volume controls on external USB 2/Firewire audio interfaces passive or active?

And, equally importantly, is the volume controlling the source digitally?

I'm following up on an enquiry I made to to two hardware manufacturers. I only have a reply from one so far, and this really frustrating.

Higher Volume/ Lower Distortion

So I have a Yamaha EMX5014C mixer. I have it plugged into my computer to record into MixCraft6. I can record, but when all my levels are up, (the recording level on MixCraft is up, the volume is up on MixCraft, the volume is up on my computer speakers, the gain and compression are both all the way up on the mixer), I still have a very low and distorted recording.
