So - I took the plunge & installed everything myself - starting with the discs that came with the N8, then updating from the Yamaha/Steinberg sites until, finally, the latest drivers/firmware were installed. At each stage I tested the set up using the Demo project that comes with Cubase AI 4. I noticed some "popping" on playback up until the most recent update, since when all has been as smooth as smooth can be. At each stage of the process (bar the now fixed "popping") all has worked as expected; Cubase light lights up each time - no issues when I switch the N8 on/off - it all works!! Incidentally, this is using a 5 yr old Fujitsu-Siemens laptop with a Max Value USB 2.0 / Firewire 400 Cardbus (which cost me 15 quid from Amazon).
I post this to counterbalance some of the posts on here highlighting people's difiiculties - not that I'm dismissing any of their problems, but just to show that this CAN work as it should!!
Now, to make some music!!!
Cheers folks.
