Okay, so here's the scoop: Just got DP4 and an 828. I'm running them on a dual 1.25 g4 Power Mac (FW800, OS X only), 10.2.5, 768MB RAM, 120GB LaCie FW drive. When I'm just doing midi sequencing (midiman 4x4) everything is perfect. It starts to suck when I try to record audio while the midi tracks are playing. I can't record more than 1 minute of audio before it stutters DURING the recording, even if it's just one track. The CPU monitor and the Performance monitor say everything is fine; I'm not anywhere close to overloading the Mac. Am I missing something? I've tried all kinds of different buffer settings.
something else that bothers me about it: If I'm playing back midi tracks through inputs 3-4, I can't listen to myself play guitar on inputs 1-2, even if I select "audio thru". What is the point of 8 inputs if I can only listen to a pair at a time??? Maybe I just have a bad unit. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance! |

If you are usung (or not) any kind of clock sync I'd have a look on that…
Also, is your 828 alone on the firewire bus? Is there a drive on it too ? -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home

Not using any kind of clock sync. The 828 is on its own firewire INPUT, but I do have a firewire drive on the other input. Not sure if they share the same bus or not though??? I'll try detaching the drive and see what happens. Thanks, lepetitmartien!

The PCI-console could come in VERY handy in case you can't hear yourself. It worked very well under DP 3 at least...

Thanks, krisg. I should have added another post because I ended up returning the 828 and getting the 2408mk3. Much better!!! I can actually listen to every input with no latency and no strain on my system.
