i've got my FireBox up and running on my PowerBook G4 1.5GHz with the included Cubase LE. Plug and play, minimal setup. Almost all is good.
Only one thing now. There is an awful lot of hiss and coming through the headphones with direct monitoring and playback. i thought that digital recording is supposed to be clean, except for the clipping that can occur. Any thoughts or advice on how to minimize the hiss? Thanks -------------------- Chuck

Here, my friends, are two applescripts i wrote to turn nap on and off with one click - also u can save the off one as an application and plop in your startup items if u wish. Note - you must be an admin user for these to work.
To turn off nap copy and paste this code snippet into script editor, replacing your_password with, well - your password! (leave the quotes intact). Then save as an application: CODE set tasks to {"hwprefs cpu_nap={false}"} do shell script tasks password "your_password" with administrator privileges To turn nap back on do the same with this snippet of code: CODE set tasks to {"hwprefs cpu_nap={true}"} do shell script tasks password "your_password" with administrator privileges enjoy, Vid -------------------- -Arvid •• Squish the Squid Productions, Modest Machine

Hey arvidtp
thanx! will theses scripts work batter than CHUD? I used my Firebox 2-days ago to record a Greg Brown Show here in toewn and I was plagued by clicking and poping I have found that folks here are way more helpful than at the presonus forums I have done every thing to test my firebox, I can usually 90% of the time to get it to work fine at home but in the field (where it is critical) I have click and pop issues! grrrrrr I am strongly considering "upgrading to a MOTU Ultra lite and will search the forums here to see how well they seem to be interfacing with other Mac's thanx again ArchivalAudio Here, my friends, are two applescripts i wrote to turn nap on and off with one click - also u can save the off one as an application and plop in your startup items if u wish.
