In an effort to determine whether its just my Quattro thats flaking, or all Quattros in general, can anyone please post if they have had wonky issues with recording under OSX. My outputs are fine, but my inputs seem like they are getting run through a heavy distortion filter unless I turn the latency to "high". Even then, I can only record via Live, and not Peak or Amadeus, as it still comes out garbled. Also, even in Live I can only record a few loops before the quality drops out again and goes to nasty noise/distortion. I must then quit Live, and reset the Quattro from system preferences, or physically turn it on/off to get it back to normal. But then I can only record a couple more times before I must repeat.
I've heard the OSX drivers are a little sketchy, especially USB, but this still seems like a hardware issue to me... Anyone else have similar problems? -Chris |

Hello ecksfive,
I tried several audio configs under Mac OS X running different audio sequencing hosts (reason, melodyne, live, spark, logic..) the last few months. I have to say that the best results with affordable hardware I had with MotU's 828. I also have to recommend the Emagic emi 2/6 for certain, not so advanced applications, they supported Mac OS X also quite early, so reason/emi 2/6 was in fact the first running Mac OS X Audio System I got under my fingers. Now I switched from Powerbook to the big iBook (yes!, G3/700 MHz, 640 MB RAM) and use it with the 828 (beta OS X drivers, downloadable from MotU: Your´re right, MotU's driver aren't the best around, but this beta works very reliable although it doesen't support the digital I/Os yet). As host application I either use this fantastic melodyne by celemony or Propellerheads reason sometimes, works great with both. I use MIDIMAN Midi Interfaces for years but I'm not a believer of their audio interfaces because I need really good signal quality and their built in audio A/D/D/A converters aren‘t the best for me, too.
