Digi 003 / cubase 10 compatibility

[Benelliot]

I'm hoping someone has a solution to my problem. I recently picked up a digidesign digi003 pretty cheap to try solve an outboard routing problem I had. The seller assured me that it would work with cubase 10 (I'm a sucker) but I've not managed to get it working properly yet.

I'm running cubase 10 with windows 10 and have an avid approved FireWire card.

This is what I've tried so far....

When using the latest 003 driver that is apparently is compatible with Windows 10, I get stuttered play back, clicks pops and only selected tracks being audible. This is the best I've had with getting it working.

I've tried using it through asio4all, it recognises it but does not play back audio.

I've tried using the V8 generic standalone asio avid driver for non protools systems. Cubase recognises the driver but says it can't find the can't find the 003 hardware when the driver is selectes. The v7 generic driver is not recognised by cubase.

I've played with buffer settings which make no difference and my pc is usually fine with a lot of loading anyway.

The 003 is definitely not the windows default playback device.

I am using the TI FireWire port driver.

When using the latest 003 driver, I've opened a few different projects and it seems the i don't have the same issue of clicks and clipping with my mastering projects that only contain a few audio files and a few plugins on the master bus, not sure what this might suggest.. like I say cpu has never been an issue. Midi issue maybe?


I'm hoping that it's not just simply incompatible and there is a solution to this. I realise that it is designed to work with protools, but the research I did beforehand backed up the sellers opinion that there will be a way to make it work. I'm hoping I've just not found the way yet

Thanks in advance
