Audio is breaking up and cpu performance is overloading when triggering MIDI instruments such as Superior Drummer or Sampletank 2.5XL etc.
Audio recording is fine.
Triggering without the Ultralite is fine (using the computer keyboard), so I think it must be OS X's MIDI drivers or the Ultralite's.
Reloaded the Ultralite driver- v 1.4.9./ Ultralite firmware v1.1.5.
Never had a problem before.

Thanks.

The 410 has never really worked. Every driver has some kind of issue. Hanging MIDI notes; Loss of audio monitoring, being just the most recent things. It's well spec'd, but doesn't deliver. They've had long enough to get it right..

I need something with solid dependability, low latency and the usual. I'll move away from Cubase and Garageband and get a new DAW.

WHAT'S GOOD?

MBox 2 Pro? At least it'd come with a good DAW..
or
MOTU UltraLite? and maybe get Logic Express or something?..

How do you find out what your latency weighs in at?
I know the old Cubase VST32 used to have a speed result in the device setup, but nothing I've seen lately seems to have similar.

How can I make it shorter anyway? I'm triggering drums.
(Once your samples are on a ext. 7200rpm drive and buffers are lowest etc, what else can you do; Does more RAM make it faster?)

Hi,
What is the most important factor in determining if a Mac can run the lowest buffers; for triggering drums (therefore needing the shortest latency times) etc?

Is it RAM size or CPU speed or Software/ Hardware configuration?

i.e. If I add more RAM will I get a better performance at the lowest buffer setting (instead of crackling) or is it simply my inherent system architecture?

Thanks.

In cubase sx, I suddenly can't write to a midi track. I'm able to play the instruments, but when a midi track is armed and recording the resulting track is blank, just a funny short "chord" at the beginning that I didn't play. As track is going along in record, it flashes with every key press, but doesn't write anything.

Everything else ok. Simple setup.

Powerbook G4 1.5 GHZ. I just installed OSX 10.4.4 update and reinstalled my (newly certified) Firewire 410 drivers. Haven't changed anything else. Ran permissions repair.
