Re: Using Older MOTU Firewire Devices + Newer Macs / Thunderbolt 4

The Thunderbolt/USB 4 spec supports most of FireWire except for bus power. This is why it still works. You will need the Apple adapters linked in the other thread. That said, Fast USB 2 protocol handles more bandwidth and is faster than FW400, the only FireWire protocol ever used by MOTU. No one her...

Re: Using Older MOTU Firewire Devices + Newer Macs / Thunderbolt 4

Many of us have our older MOTU Audio interfaces working on our TB4 Macs. Read this recent thread.

The Apple FW–TB adapter is discontinued but I counted 82 on eBay last week.

Re: System Audio Recorder

Since I last visited this topic, there have been a few changes. The first is that Soundflower is dead and gone in Sonoma—if I'm reading the tea leaves right, this started with macOS 14.1 and finished in 14.4. In any case, my old app, Live Screen Capture from Roxio can only record through the microph...

Re: 828x and adding 2nd stand alone ADAT procedure

They are getting pretty old now.
Yep. The last 828mkII was made in 2006—I bought one of those at a Guitar Center close-out sale January 2007 when the 828mk3 was announced at Winter NAMM. Damn, that was over seventeen years ago. All others are older.

Re: What to Make of Mixbus 10

I am paid through version 9 and tried to make Mixbus work for me but I couldn't get into the workflow. The transition to SSL ownership is screwed up beyond belief with email after email telling us to ignore what was previously sent—I think that I wound up with two Harrison accounts and three SSL acc...

Re: Go Big or Go Home?

I'm using a 43" Samsung 4K TV connected to the HDMI port of my Mac Studio and not having any issues here. I think HC Markus is using a Samsung also. Did you check to see what color profile you are using? I could be completely wrong, but I vaguely remember something about using a particular col...

Re: Sonoma 14.5 Official Release just dropped!

Well maybe it's RC1 and not the release? Didn't say RC1 as I recall when I got the notification. sonoma14.5.jpg Yeah it's another beta. I haven't installed it yet, and when I turn off beta updates it disappears and says my beta is up to date. Yep. 23F79 is the RC. https://appleinsider.com/articles/...

You are certainly welcome. Thanks for reporting back! A couple of suggestions: You should update the title (edit your first post) with the piece of gear giving you grief. Then, if you ever do crack that nut, add the word Resolved to the title—but not before it is, of course—and tell us the solution....

It showed up in my beta feed. Many sites had similar announcements to this yesterday. https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/05/09/apple-drops-three-macos-release-candidates-in-one-day I turned off beta in Software updates yesterday and it's still saying that I have beta 4.

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

macOS 14.5 beta RC (release candidate) dropped a few hours ago as did Kontakt 7.10.2. I'll be looking at the Kontakt update later this evening but will stay put with 14.5 beta 4.

The RC is usually the same as the general release unless beta testers find a major bug.

Re: ULTRALITE MK3 Hybrid - Sonoma 14 Issues

… Has anyone else seen issues like this? I've never heard of anything like this. I suspect the cable adapter. You can buy what's called a USB Printer Cable — these support USB 2/1.1 only as required by CoreAudio on a Mac. These are available in all configurations — you will want one with a USB-B pl...

Re: 828x and adding 2nd stand alone ADAT procedure

The best way I know to get the 828mkII to remember settings is to turn it off before disconnecting.

Re: Greyed Out

Ok, It's still likely to be one of the two issues that I described. A screen shot doesn't tell us anything more than that.
