although 2gig is the maximum you can have, in a mac book. I would say its the MINIMUM you need also.

I have stripped mine down to the bare minimum processes running, and it uses 447mb of RAm and is just sitting idle If i load up live it can some time use anotherGIG depending on the project ...

not normal ,
try to take the earth out .
Er, no . If you've got earthing issues sort them out properly. Lifting the earth to non-isolated equipment is a recipe for electrocution and electrocution will kill you. Dont Do It . .

On a positive note towards resolution break are you talking about ...

would you now consider the novation remote sl zero?
No comparison. The MCU is a great bit of kit (but better with an added C4 and extender!) and is a decent usable size. The SL Zero is mini and more fiddly with no motorized faders or the transport, shuttle, cursor keys and other UI controls that ...

Obvious question, but do you have the audio inputs enabled in the Audio IO setup preferences? Try ignoring live and monitoring via CueMix and see if you can monitor the Mic input.

but do u honestly think someone would pay(much) for an mbox1 with pt 6.4?

Mate, can't you just go for a shag in bali instead? Much better for you...

~Pev

so you think ill get more selling the mbox 1 seperate? being that i only have the disc for 6.4 with it(supervisor at skool updated me to PT 7.)
Always - bundle stuff together and it always gets less money. The inverse is true too. I'm selling my old MDD G4 soon - I'm goanna sell the KB & Mouse ...
