Hi
I have a Powerbook 15" 1.67hz 512 mb ram and a 80gb 5400rpm hard drive and a Terratec Phase 24 firewire soundcard. I have installed all my software ( Logic Pro 7.01 and Kontakt 2.01 ) and started to do some recordings. I was using a loop in track 1 , a EVP 88 with a tape delay and nothing else. I recorded thru the digital ins a 24 bit stereo file coming from a 01V Yamaha digital mixer. When I started to listen to the audio files ( 15 to 20 minutes )they were good in some places and terribly bad in others with lots of crackles. Does the OSX run some kind of background application that was interfering with the recording process ? Are there any tips to fine tune OSX in a Powerbook for audio production ? Are my Powerbook specs enough for this job or do I have to buy an external disk just to record a simple 24 bit stereo file ? Thank you Alex |

That is correct. That is why I included "make sure your card and Logic are chasing the clock from your mixer" in my previous post. One of the digital pieces must generate the clock that every other piece syncs to. And they will not sync if they are trying to operate at different sample rates.
I run a dbx preamp through S/PDIF into my Digi002r. In Pro Tools setup, there is a clock setting where I can tell Pro Tools to chase the clock of the signal coming in from the dbx preamp. If I change it so that Pro Tools syncs to it's own digital clock, I get crackles. Again, I don't know where these settings are in Logic. |
