mavericks ?

sorry no.
10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Rock solid so no changey...

Should add...
Only use my computer for tracking. Everything else is OTB for the most part.

i've had my echo audiofire12 for years and it has been very reliable. i have a studio owner friend who swears by his lynx aurora.

Just to make this topic clear :
This is an issue with Mavericks

my touring interface is an old Firewire MOTU Ultralite, and my home studio interface is an Apogee Quartet (USB). my main machine is a 2011 MacBook Pro and i have been running Mavericks since February. no glitches with either interface.

Thanks,
Motu told me it's an issue with mavericks. i've seen several users confirming this (http://www.motunation.com/forum/viewtop ... =2&t=57838).
I am about to take the plunge and downgrade to 10.8... But i'd be more than pissed off if it doesn't solve anything....
Oh and my macbook pro is just clean, super clean with just max/MSP, Ableton and drivers installed.

Are you sure that the problem isn't with your computer itself? Perhaps it has a dated CPU.

Signature edited.

So after realizing i cannot downgrade my macbook pro retina (that's f@cking unbelievable), i NEED to get rid of the motu and i mght go for a RME 802 through a FW/TB adaptor.

2 questions, though :

- can i plug a guitar in the front inputs ?
- did someone try using the headphones outs as regular outputs ?

thanks

Are the monitor outs able to be individual outs ? (i mean not mirror one of the 8 outs)

edit : according to their website, they are.

So...
i bought a saffire Pro 40. Using a TB/FW adaptor and Mavericks. It's perfect.
Thanks for your advices !

PARTY!

My Komplete Audio 6 works perfectly even after sleep with my 2011 MBP!

I'm considering to change it to a used Motu 828 mk3 or a new Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 for more i/o though.. Haven't decided which one yet. According to the internetz Scarlett seems to have better overall sound quality, but Motu has more stable drivers.. Hard decisions..

I used to have Motu Ultralite mk3 which broke down violently after 4 years (first the screen died, then the outputs started to make this really loud buzzing noise...) so i'm a bit sceptical about the build quality of Motu interfaces!

sorry doublepost.
