I've had an MBOX for close to a year and a half now. Everything was fine until I got a new Powerbook G4 1.25 The MBOX has never been so troublesome. I'm running Panther 10.3.2 (part of the problem I'm sure).From high pitch bursts of white noise to not recording properly, i've just had it up to my eyeballs with the thing. I'm anxious to see the new Edirol FA-101, which seems to be much better than the M-Audio Firewire 410, but am I fine with what I have? It seems that the issue is software related, but I'm tired of waiting on
Pro tools Le 6.2.3. I just want to keep moving and get results. I'm really spinning wheels here.

Thanks Dixiechicken! Maybe I should refund that Western Digital 120gb I just bought. I've got plenty of HD space anyway. Plus, I can refund that bytecc enclosure as well. Instead of running Protools Le 6.2.3 this weekend, I tried using the Mbox with "Garageband"...only to get nowhere! I got some immediate replies in another forum on this site when I called Gargeband "useless". The tips in the replies still don't work. I try my best to get results with something before making comments like that, but like I said before, "I'm just spinning wheels".
I've been pulling my hair out since I bought the Roland VS1680 back in the fall of 1998. FIREWIRE seems to be my only hope. Yes lushbudget, sell that Mbox. I think I'll be selling mine too. It's hardly used and in perfect condition. Not to totally dismiss the Mbox, I believe it's a must have for an OS 9.2 to 10.2 user. This post has been edited by digikid: Mon 8 Mar 2004, 20:08 |
