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 ~

Hey, amigos.
Yeah, Presonus's Firebox has caused me lots of grief recently. It seems to work great on my G4 laptop, but on my desktop G5 Quad, I get pops, clicks, noise, etc. all the time. At least three times a day, I have to pull the firewire cable out, wait for CoreAudio to reinitialize, then plug it back in for it to work. At first I thought it was a defective box, so I sent it back to PreSonus for a repair, but they sent it back saying it worked perfectly. There must be an issue that remains unresolved with the G5 and the Firebox (I have a pre-Intel G5, by the way). Does anyone know of a more reliable audio interface? Thanks! hahaworld |
