OSX Dropouts

Post by GregG » Sat Jun 22, 2002 1:13 pm

Why does my Live 1.51 dropout and sound so blotchy io OSX? Should I just hush and wait for OSX.2?

What should I set my latency buffer to?


I do not believe it is a fragmented harddrive.

Is there an echo in here?

It works fine wit hmy wife's ibook. It does not work well at all on my G4. I have a dual 1Ghz with 1.5 gb of ram. Two 7200 rmp ATA 66 drives.

So of the files I am accessing through an alias to their OS9 counterpart folder. By this I mean I have an alias of my OS9 Live songs in my OSX LIve folder. That shouldn't make a difference should it?

There are no more extension conflicts. I have a Motu 828 which won't work with OSX yet. What else could be conflicting in my Live?

Any help is appreciated.

I just spent a great weekend with OSX, Reason2, and Live 1.51 on my PB500 and can offer the following advice:

DO NOT use Soundsticks via USB - I got huge dropouts and slowdowns - even when setting the buffer to 2048.

This may have been a usb conflict with the Midiman Midisport 2x2, or it might have been something with the soundsticks themselves.

When I switched to Internal Sound (the headphone jack), I was able to bring the buffer down to 512 with no problems at all. I could have gone lower, but there was a LOT happening via ReWire.

OS X users.. bug

Post by SongCarver » Mon Jun 24, 2002 11:33 pm

Hi there valiant OS X users.

Great O/s yes?

Have any of you experienced a bug where triggering slots to record does not quantize the finish properly??

where, instead of a 4 bar loop you get 3'3'0 or similar?

And yes, I have all the preferences and global quantization set to 1 bar.

Cherio,

-Keith

I had the same with 1.5 driving me nuts, the 1.51 update fixes it.
