Hi there,

hoping you can help - I've had a search through the forum but can't seem to see a query matching mine (apologies however if I've missed it and this has already been answered)

I've installed the demo version (1.2) of Jamstix which I'm using with Cubasis VST 4.0

It plays the internal samples and follows host tempo fine - the irregularity seems to be in the free jam along to audio - I can get the "incoming" red light but only when the host ISN'T playing (regardless of monitoring/armed settings for the track)

Cubasis's input meters are tracking the audio just fine, and I'm getting normal audio monitoring.

Things I've checked:

M8 selected as insert effect in the audio channel (which I have set to stereo) - CHECK. When I brought up the little window with the VU needle it followed the audio input except when the host was playing.

Jamstix selected in the vst panel - CHECK. It doesn't seem to make any difference whether I select it as one of the midi tracks, or indeed if monitoring is enabled. If jamstix is playing and the host is playing I get drums but no red light. If the host isn't playing I get the red light but no drums.

I have a nasty sneaky feeling that somehow Cubasis won't let me use insert effects in a way that's compatible with the M8 plugin for free jamming with audio.

I have no compunction about switching over to a host that does, however! If indeed it's a cubasis-related issue then I'd be grateful for recommendations for a fairly humble sequencer that's downloadable and known to work fine with jamstix! (I believe tracktion is meant to be quite good, for instance?)

Any advice/solutions/sequencer recommendations most gratefully received! Apologies if I've posted on an already well-covered topic.
