JeanLuc.E « Big Problem!! »
Published on 10/31/12 at 03:55Of promises on paper.
UTILIZATION
This card is not compatible with the new MacBook Pro 2012 equipped with USB 3.
GETTING STARTED
In addition, beta drivers could solve the problem seem to be operating as Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
So if like me, you bought your MacBook between June 2012 and the release of Mountain Lion or your other software does not run on Lion Mountain (and the list goes on), this card is useless!
I even tried it on when a post iMac Core 2 Duo 8GB (Snow Leopard) with ProTools 10.
A project of 34 audio tracks + some plug ins audio engine plant because of a lack of resources CPU with a buffer to 1028 samples!
This project runs smoothly even with the internal sound card / mbox 2 / mbox pro 2 with a buffer at 64 samples!
OVERALL OPINION
Ben after a night of misery, I contacted my dealer to try to exchange it against a firewire card (Focusrite Saffire 40 or Lexion IONIX)
I spent much of the night on the Presonus forum only to find that the card does not guarantee reliability. Computer PC (Core i7 2600K + 8GB) fail to record 8 tracks without cracking!
A shame, we were doing multi track recording under Windows 98 with Pentium 3!
A casting error ...
PS: I remain convinced that the firewire is better suited for this purpose.
