Sorry folks. I apologize about this minor SPAM attack. Just to let everyone know, this member had been removed from the list, and I have banned this email...
All, Since most of this list responded to get a copy of the SFX 5.5b BETA, I thought it would be best to announce that it is in the final stage of testing and...
Is anyone else having issues getting into the forum to find out the changes on the Beta? I'd like to take a look at the forum but it's saying I don't have...
Beta Testers, If anyone has installed 5.5b, please let us know if it works as well as or better than 5.5a. We are interested in both good comments and not so...
Dear SFX Users, As most of you are aware we are always in development mode and look for better and more efficient ways to upgrade SFX. As SFX is a end user...
Maybe we're all to busy using our software in shows. :-)) Seriously if you can wait a week, I put it through the paces in both Win 2K and 98SE. Richard B....
... Me too. We open on Friday, so now's not a good time... ;-) but gimme a few weeks. I may have missed it ,but is this primary a bug fix release or do we...
All, The next couple of weeks will be fine. We have enough people testing it and if we release and have some other issues, we'll address them in 5.6. 5.5b has...
Hello all, where have you been? Here are some questions I've been trying and failing to answer for myself. Maybe you can help. Particularly if you are an Echo...
... Although 5.5b is out, we are taking care of some of the playback issues that come up time to time. 5.5b is best used on a system that has some serious RAM...
Don't have good answers to your other query, but Sync Wave Devices should defiantly be left UNCHECKED! Otherwise the Echo driver will wait until it receives...
... I've seen SFX hit those limits under hard loads...it does pay to have a ton of RAM, I spec 512MB minimum in many of the SFX machines now. It comes into ...

Very many thanks to Drew, Duane, Carlton and Richard for the helpful comments. The value of this kind of support can't be overestimated. "Using it in anger",...
... No I can't say that I've had a machine crash due to lack of memory, just stutter and such. However, I have had recurring crashes when dealing with long...

... No MIDI being used in the show - just a lot of WAVs. ... The Windows dialog box always comes up - SFX has not locked up so far. P....
I know there has been a lot of discussion on the PC-DAW list of XP sometimes not running the hard drives in Ultra DMA mode. This also happens in Win2K...

All, When you come across an unexplained problem with SFX, please feel free to send the .SFX file in question directly to us. If we are unable to reproduce...
Hi I'm new to this list and I appologize if this question has already been dealt with. Carlton in tech support at Stage Research suggested I ask all of you. ...
Well, You didn't really ask a question. snip ... snip ... snip in win2k, run "dxdiag.exe". under the sound tab, is every recognized and good. Are these WDM...
We're having problems with our SFX setup. We can't play cues out of sequence. In other words, if we want to start with cue 10, we get no sound output. If we...
