Hey Now! So I am wonderin after recent pop and click issues with My FireBox: What software do you use? is it seemless, do is ALWAYS work? Dose anyone use Garage band with it? I have seen folks using Garage band with the Motu travller do you have exp[erience using garageband with the FireBox? OR What software Would you reccomend ? ME: DO I NEED A new larger faster, Hard drive? I have been recording wtih my Firebox for about 1 year now... I usually use the Cubase LE that was bundled with it on my iBook G4 1.2Ghz 1.25GB Ram the small 30GB HD is partitioned into 2 roughly halfs, the main drive with software and OSX System Version: Mac OS X 10.3.9 (7W98) Kernel Version: Darwin 7.9.0 After having problems with pops and clicks a few weeks ago, in CubaseLE recording 4 tracks 2-mics and 2 line ins.... I wanted to record a live braodcast of the Hot Buttered Rum String Band for the Willamette Valley Folk festival off the Radio... I used my firebox with Peak 4 ...... I thought it went ok, but then uopon listening there are pops and crackles (again like a vinyl record) not FM noise.... I can't seem to pinpoint if the pops are really in play back oron the "master" recording? I am very sure that they are on the master.... any tips or suggestions? DO YOU ALWAYS have luck using _____________ Software? please let me know how I can get successful recordings I have had some successes but its been hit or miss thanx for your help! peace -- Ian This post has been edited by ArchivalAudio: Fri 26 May 2006, 20:32 -------------------- ~ Archival Audio ~

I'm still doing stuff with iBook G4/800 + FireBox - it works. I mainly record with Logic Express. I think you just have set the buffers too low, 256 is about the minimum on my iBook. Check it in PEAK at "Audio / Hardware Settings". The stuff you recorded with PEAK might still be OK, it just might play it with cracks and pops. Happened to me a few times too... But nothing evil with Logic ever, gotta love it! |
