Mac And Fw 410 Options

[hyp0static]

I am having very similar problems to stoprunner.

When I have the 410 plugged into my PB's FW 400 port and my LaCie drive plugged into the FW 800 port, things are not happy.

If I play audio off of my internal system drive - no problem.

But if I play audio off of the LaCie drive, I get drop-outs, pops & clicks, full on digital distortion, playing back really slow, and eventually full audio drop-out - but the 410 still registers audio on the output monitor lights.

The only way I can get it to reboot is to shut everything down, actually unplug the power from the 410 (just turning the power off won't do it) and plug everything back in.

It is working with the LaCie plugged into the 410, but that doesn't seem to be the best scenario (as well as wasting the 800 port).

Not sure how the set-up is affecting latency . . .

Any insight would be helpful!

Hi everyone. I have a firewire 410 and i have 2 questions .btw, i'm running this with a Powerbook G4 500 Mhz

Is that normal that in the Firewire wire 410 audio interface, i can't see no graphic values of volumes and that is for every channel?

i,m trying to record vocalsin Live 3 with a mic pluggedin the 2 analogues inputs and it works like 1/5 and when it works, the sound is soooooo low. its suppose to be a preamp right.

any help will be really appreciated

thank you and sorry for my english!

hyp0static, my 410 keeps on working sweetly and I am hoping to get back the 800 prot with the latest driver, but I am reluctant to go back to having problems with my set up. What I will do is contact M-audio again and see if the new driver solves this bus master problem.

Ziggomatic:

Is the mic/lin button on the 410 out?

Is the pad button out?

Gain knobs turned up?

Those are the only initial things I can think of.

What kind of mic are you using?

Stoprunner:

I got the new driver - no change in the 800 port.

Actually heard from M-audio yesterday. They acknowledged the 800 port problem and said they are working on a solution. For now, they suggested hooking it up like I (and you, I believe) have it set up: PB FW 400 -> 410 -> LaCie.

hi hyp0static, thanx for the quick reply

yeah the mic/line is pushed and the pad button is also pushed
for the mic, i use an old shit that i can plug in the 2 inputs.

thanx for you help. for the control panel, do you know why i cant see nothing? do you have the same problem?

thanx again

Haven't recorded with a mic yet into the 410, so I can't offer any personal experience there.

Try popping the pad button out - that would make your signal more quiet (sorry if you knew that). Oh - just noticed you said the mic/line button is pushed as well? Is your mic plugged into the front? You want that out too.

Out is for the front ports, in is for the back ports.
