I wonder if anyone can help me with this one.
I have recently both a mac book pro and live 6 software. I use TASCAM US-144 as audio interface(USB). i set it all up and works fine with buffer size at 2048 (I/O) but if I try to decrease the buffer size in order to decrease the latency live does not work properly anyymore (the sound crackles); when I brought the buffer to theminimum live froze and I had to force it to quit. Obviously cannot work with an overall latency of 304 ms!!! I have never had a Mac before and I cannot figure out what the problem is. |

for your information I have now discussed the matter with Tascam tecnical support and we came to the conclusion that thare must be a compatibility problem between tascam 144 and live ableton (when using Mac) the guy told me I was the second person to report this. The sound interface work fine with a PC but not with a mac.
I would therefore not recommend the Tascam anyway considering all the problem experienced. I am now planning to purchase a firewire audio interface (I am thinking to buy the focusrite 10i/o). |
