I'm using a macbook pro with the OS X 10.4.8 (as i hear it's better for audio than 10.4.9) and I have SERIOUS CPU issues with the MOTU and Cubase SX 3. When I have the sample rate low, recording is fine, HOWEVER the second I add ANY kind of processing (even crappy built in equalizers in cubase) the CPU goes off the wall! I have to change the sample rate to 512 from 192 and even then the CPU is at about 80% and I'm only running 3-8 audio tracks (that's right not even MIDI, not to mention half the tracks are frozen) with very minimal processing. If i add about 3 different processing items (e.g. a compressor, equalizer and some reverb) the CPU goes so insane that my audio is inaudible and I have to up the samplerate again, this time to 1024 !! THAT'S INSANE. Even then the audio is barely audible and I just don't know what to do. I've done all the troubleshooting I can think of and nothing works.

I hear you... We all do... However, if I'm not mistaking "You have the latest gear and no one can answer you accuratly as many of us are on "Older" systems". So, you can either spend the next, hours, days, weeks in frustration or you can do the following: Invest in a five Dollar, Euro or Yen "International Phone Card"... Send me a Message and I'll send you his phone number. DON'T WANT TO DO IT OPENLY OTHERWISE HE'D BE GETTING CALLS FROM ALL OF USE. He'll sort out all your problems before you've used three minutes on a three hundred minute card... He's a Wunderkind... Whizzkid. Genius. It's what he does. He has his own Department now! People fly him around the world to fix problems and hell do it for free... He's a Champion. Is it worth it? You bet... Plus, he knows what works with what. He's employed in one of the biggest music store in Germany. Has all the gear at his disposal, ALL OF THE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE and he sets up Macintosh Computers "ONLY". I think I must be one of the luckiest people on Earth to know him... My Gear Rocks. Before I Went Desktop, G5 Dual 2GHz, I had a 867 MHz PowerBook and he fiddled around with it and got 60 Tracks of Audio going on it... 3-4 years ago... All the Sales Reps and Customers gathered around watched and listened in astonishment as this PowerBook shook the building as he had it running through some Huge Expensive Speakers... So, if you have a New Mac... He'll say: "Open this, Click that, Do this... He'll wait because he loves knowing he's right, but in a "good way". |
