I have a MOTU fastlane USB midi interface that i currently use on a B&W G3 with cubase 4.1 and a Korg 1212. I think the timing is pretty bad for the midi and the 1212card and the G3 seem to conflict so I don't use this setup much beacause of this.
I am looking to purcahse an iBook and upgrade to Cubase SX and use an egosys USB audio interface. Will i get problems with midi timing again using both a USB audio interface and a midi interface at the same time? Has USB midi improved for OSX? Any assistance with this would be most appreciated. |

3 things occur to me
1. A G4 Mac is the recommended minimum spec for Cubase SX. I have used it on a 600MHz iBook and got a respectable number of audio tracks out of it, but a G4 runs it much better. 2. Yes, Midi generally has been much improved in OS X, particularly now we're at 10.2.5. No more OMS! Woo-hoo! 3. I haven't noticed any problems using a USB audio interface with a USB Midi interface at the same time, but USB audio interfaces generally have a problem with the miniscule bandwidth of the protocol. FireWire is better for audio. Hope this hasn't been too disappointing. Generally, OS X + music = good times. |
