Hey all,
I've been trying to help out a frie pcnd whose using Cubase SE on a Mac (iBook
G4, osx 10.4.10 1ghz power pc, 640mb of ram). On playback, after recording
only one track, the track has clicks and pops about every six to seven seconds.
Buffers were set at: 4 buffers each at 128kb. She tried different mics
as well as different cables -still pops and crackles. She's using a Maudio
Fast track interface -latest drivers. This interface is USB.
Any ideas?
Thanks guys (and gal).
MR

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news , but you have 2 isues..ANd they
are:
-Mac ibook..Very bad on-board usb and firewire support
-m-audio fast track ..Look, M-audio maks some of thee best Windows drivers..Can't
say that about it's Mac driver support
Solution: Seel the imac, and get a Mac Book pro..NOt and Mac Book, but the
Mac Book Pro...2) Use either a Motu or RMe interface.. They both have the
best driver support for the Mac platform..

Just a thought: on my PC, if I leave Cubase 4 open over night, the next
day, it plays, but crackles until I do a restart of C4.

I second what LaMont says. I recently helped a friend try to configure a
Digi002 on a Macbook. Lots of problems with the FW bus choking down. He
finally sold the Macbook and got a new iMac and he is once again blissful.

Thanks everyone.
I was talking up this group and encouraging my friend to start checking it
out. I tried out the buffer suggestion and that seemed to fix the
problem -though I agree with Neil's thought: it sure seems funny that they
were appearing with only one track. I've noticed that her setup is
flukey -so we'll see. For now she'll probably stick with the iBook -though
she did go for a (evil) melodyne purchase. I'm hoping that once she starts
flying along recording, mixing, she'll consider a 'puter upgrade.
You gents are awesome, thanks again.

I have two old iBooks, a 1GHz and a 600MHz. They are not real fast, but I
have not had any problems running my M-Audio USB interfaces. Keep in mind,
the USB is version 1.x. I'm not running Cubase, so...YMMV.
