i have been using my mbox/ibook g4 800 for about five mos. with no problems up until about a week ago, i started getting a message saying cpu usage is holding off usb audio, increase h/w buffer or remove plug-ins. i get this when my h/w buffer is already as high as it can go, and i'm only running like four tracks with no plug-ins at all. how could this be? i'm running osx 10.3/pt le 6.2.2
i'm not using an external hard drive, could this be part of the problem? thanx |

Schoppito,
Please define "serious" audio work. I have a good friend who uses a mac powerbook and an 828 with no external firewire drive, and he has produced 4 albums. Futhermore, he assists other musicians with their projects. I modeled my setup after his based on what I perceived at the time was a rock solid recording situation. His situation is different from mine; however, in that he does mainly step recording. Obviously, step recording is not as processor intensive; however I still think a newer powerbook should be able to handle at least 4 track recording without the aid of an external firewire 7200 disk. From my experience, however, this is not the case! It sounds like I'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy an external firewire drive. Wish I would have known this before I dropped 2 "G"s on the powerbook! |
