i have been using my mbox/ibook g4 800 for about five mos. with no problems up until about a week ago, i started getting a message saying cpu usage is holding off usb audio, increase h/w buffer or remove plug-ins. i get this when my h/w buffer is already as high as it can go, and i'm only running like four tracks with no plug-ins at all. how could this be? i'm running osx 10.3/pt le 6.2.2
i'm not using an external hard drive, could this be part of the problem? thanx |

For the BEST performance, an external 7200rpm firewire drive is needed.
If you record to your system disc, you run the risk of corruping your file system if you encounter a disc error during recording. It's no fun I've been there, reinstalling all software apps.
