i am rocking the firewire 410 on a black pismo g3 laptop running osx .3

however imputing the audio into logic express is proving a tad frustrating!!! actually its really ****ing me off now!

has anyone got any reasons why this might be happening before I throw it out the window!!!

with thanks

Eee Gads...

Was it only when you were turning it on????
I know when I turn mine on I don't even turn on my mixer until I see the lights 'cycle'...

I've heard the same issue but it has not effected my system at all...
It's usually only for a second or so right when my PB "grabs in to it"...

One thing you can do is go into the "Utilities" folder in Applications and pull up the "Audio MIDI Setup" program... It's an icon that looks like a piano... This will allow you to assign where your inputs and outputs take priority... IF you defualt your input and output to the FW410 when you plug that unit in - the computer will allways port the audio information to it first - If it's not available - The iBook should default to internal...
Keep an eye out for it though... Sometimes it will default back just to see if you're watching... But it should stay there - pretty much...

As for programs - I've always been a Logic proponent...
But understand whichever program you decide to go with - these programs are "MILES" deeper than Garage Band... Don't expect miracles initially... Granted there is MUCH more flexibility but it takes time to understand... I started way back in Logic 2 (?) and it took me nearly 3 days just to get sound into it... I don't think it will be that bad these days - But, take your time whatever you decide and work with it... You're going to be purchasing some pretty potent stuff...
Personally though, I think the combination of the FW410 and my Logic Pro6 has been the most enjoyable setup I've had and is unbeatable....

If you have questions - Just pipe in... I'd love to help...

SecondBridge - No Problem - i'm always glad to help...
If you're interested feel free to stop by my website and hear some of the tunes... http://homepage.mac.com/riverdog

Mullethed - I wish!!! I live in Michigan in the United States about 150 miles West of Detroit in Grand Rapids... I understand about your job! It's been a pain here too!!! Keep me posted though... I hope it works out for you...

Take care: More later...
