Trouble With Audacity, Error messages with firewire devices Options

[beltunabob]

I bought a Presonus Firebox last fall when the price dropped. Nice unir. I was unable to open Audacity however getting this arror message:

Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.

I found the audacity problems and this seems to be unresolved at the moment. The lead developer says that they hope to support 'other audio devices' soon. Not a direct quote but something like that.

But the Beta version 1.3 doesn't work either. Other folks are reporting gray screens in Tiger, crashes, etc.

Too bad, i find Audacity to be a great app. whereas logic seems like overkill for me.

I'm using demo Amadeus. I don't what else is out there...

Unfortunately, Audacity runs into some bugs which can be frustrating, now for the price, we can't argue. It'll be smoothed out one day… (yeah sure

Unfortunately too, all the alternatives I see are at least shareware. Check our Software tracker, there's a lot there…

Thanks for the link LPM. Yeah, Audacity seems to be very buggy judging from the OSX forum.
I'll download a few recording apps. Recommendations?
