I've had an MBOX for close to a year and a half now. Everything was fine until I got a new Powerbook G4 1.25 The MBOX has never been so troublesome. I'm running Panther 10.3.2 (part of the problem I'm sure).From high pitch bursts of white noise to not recording properly, i've just had it up to my eyeballs with the thing. I'm anxious to see the new Edirol FA-101, which seems to be much better than the M-Audio Firewire 410, but am I fine with what I have? It seems that the issue is software related, but I'm tired of waiting on
Pro tools Le 6.2.3. I just want to keep moving and get results. I'm really spinning wheels here. Ce message a été modifié par digikid - lun. 1 mars 2004, 14:49. |

Perhaps you should check the Digidesigns website, I think I saw on the Unicornation BBS while it was still operational, that Digidesign was slow with updating their drivers, for Panther.
(I'm not quite shure about this - check it out) I have a friend that have a dual G4 and the MBox and ProoTools Light - he runs 10.2.8 I think (or maybe even 9.2.2) he says it works great for him. So I'm inclined to think it might be, partly a driver issue. But also people have reported issues with DP-4 on Powerbooks. Some of these issues seem to be related to slow internal harddrives. If you have the opportunity to borrow a fast external firewire-hardrive that might be worth checking out. Cheers: Dixiechicken -------------------- ==================
