The 24bit problem was fixed by updating the kmixer in SP3. Whether you had the problem seems to be driver dependent in the past (some sound cards ignored windows and got 24 bits out of the card with pre-sp3 win2k versions, like echo for example).
don't know about the device number limits - sorry.
i'd say just download sp3, install it (it's been flawless on all my machines) and give it a go.

Since the RME cards are not "true" WDM drivers, but native MME drivers, this bug should not have effected you.

Win2000 will never have the hard port limit removed. Even XP has a limit. The only way around it is ASIO or WMD KS. You will have to wait for Vegas 4 for ASIO...

To Peter Especially:

speaking of Vegas 4 - can we *please* have a public beta, so that all us hardcore nuts can help you guys work any bugs out before it gets released.

I looked at the ACID 4 forum today... jeez... not really your fault - there are some numnuts on there, but the release would have benefitted from a public beta - they'd lose the right to complain!

another recommendation... go the way Cubase has in ONE aspect. Drop support for all OSes other than Win XP - it'll make yours and everyone elses lives a lot easier. Must be a nightmare cross testing all those platforms! Hence why SX is almost stable in comparison to other Cubase releases! I still don't like it tho.

I'm loving the thought of Vegas 4... and incidentally, worked hard at the demo of ACID 4.0a and it was running great for me! VSTi's, FX automation and all!

my only minor irritation is I would like to right click or double click on a bit of MIDI in the timeline, and have it come straight up in the Piano Roll Editor. It's a bit of a long way round at the moment.

Please say MIDI + VST instruments with automation + FX automation are coming in Vegas 4? I'll be so happy!

Jason :o)

Yer outta your tree, webpuppy. Just because you think the whole world has switched to the OS that *you* happen to be using doesn't make it so.....

funny you mention that, I'm running on Win98SE too! (at the studio)

But I'm switching over to XP, as I tried it recently and the bugs have been whacked.

Steinberg dropped support for other OSes with Cubase SX, and the result is a product that is the most stable release to date from Steinberg.

Imagine if Sonic Foundry could focus all their resources on debugging just one OS.

We'd get a stable product a lot more quickly, and I'm willing to plump for XP if it means one stable Audio Workstation... and it seems to mean just that.

the reason people are still using '98 (four years old!) is because ME was a mess for audio, and 2K fared not much better.

I'm aware the mileage varied.

XP just seems solid, there's no reason to hold back sonic foundry any longer!
