Hi
I have a Powerbook 15" 1.67hz 512 mb ram and a 80gb 5400rpm hard drive and a Terratec Phase 24 firewire soundcard. I have installed all my software ( Logic Pro 7.01 and Kontakt 2.01 ) and started to do some recordings. I was using a loop in track 1 , a EVP 88 with a tape delay and nothing else. I recorded thru the digital ins a 24 bit stereo file coming from a 01V Yamaha digital mixer. When I started to listen to the audio files ( 15 to 20 minutes )they were good in some places and terribly bad in others with lots of crackles. Does the OSX run some kind of background application that was interfering with the recording process ? Are there any tips to fine tune OSX in a Powerbook for audio production ? Are my Powerbook specs enough for this job or do I have to buy an external disk just to record a simple 24 bit stereo file ? Thank you Alex |

Your computer is doing just fine. The problem you'e having is with digital sync. You mention you're going from digital outs from your mixer into your card into Logic. Something in that chain isn't syncing up right. Check to make sure everything is set at the same bit rate and sampling rates, and make sure your card and Logic are chasing the clock from your mixer.
I'm not familiar with any of the pieces you're using, so I can't help you with specifics on your equipment, but I have had digital clock issues before, and it shows up just like what you are experiencing. Perhaps somebody else here knows how to get those pieces in digital harmony? |
