When recording audio, we are getting CPU overload which builds up gradually as we record or play back audio. I have experimented and changed the audio system settings and have over 6Mb RAM working in Cubase. Could it be the Imic - feeding back or something?
Is there a better system than Imic into USB on the IMac? Is a Firewire system better? Any suggestions out there? This post has been edited by John and Gretchen: Sun 4 May 2003, 22:13 |

Absolutely - I've had a couple of USB devices and I was quite happy with them. Edirol produced soild drivers and the sound quality was top-notch. Trouble is, I get a lot of big ideas for music and I need to produce a professional result, so I soon found myself pushing the limits of USB. Hence my switch to a FireWire interface.
I think FireWire stuff is set to get a lot cheaper in the next year or two, which is offically A Good Thing. All eyes are on M-Audio's 410. |
