Can\'t record on audio drives
I have drives dedicated to audio on my Mac. A 36 gig ATA drive and a 36 gig SCSI drive. Both worked fine under PT 5.3.1. Upgraded to Mac OS 10.2.3 and PT 6.1. Now when I record to these drives, I get nothing but static and broken audio during playback. Records fine to the system drive. I did update the driver for the SCSI controller from Adaptec's website, didn't help. I did erase the drives with Disk Utility in Mac OS X and made the drives Mac OS Extended. Anyone have any suggestions?

Re: Can\'t record on audio drives
Adaptec really isn´t fit for HD-Rec, they have too high a payload to the PCI Bus.
I used an Adaptec 39160 and always got System overload Errors. The Adaptec 2930 (USCSI2) worked way better, but still not flawless. I now use Atto UL3D which is approved by digi. But this is just one option. best

Re: Can\'t record on audio drives
OK, but why wouldn't the ATA drive work?

Re: Can\'t record on audio drives
try upgrading to 10.2.6 (or at least 10.2.4) since important CoreAudio updates were included in these...it may help.
I know 10.2.8 just was released,but I'm not going for it just yet so I won't recommend it.
