worse and worse every day. LE Mbox truly BLOWS!
&*^%$^%&%* white noise screeches out of my monitors at full volume 6 times per day in between fucgin usb holding off audio errors and those are in between cpu holding off interupt errors.
I just upgraded to 6.1.2 hoping that would help. In the first (&*^% 20 seconds of recording i got the deafening white noise again!!!! So pissed it is a wonder i don't walpaper this place with the shattered mbox. Why does this have suck soooooo much? This white noise screech has been talked about for months. Why is it still a problem? imac G4 700, os 10.2.8 PT 6.1.2 recording to internal IDE drive. |

That doesn't sound like normal operation, have you contacted digidesign directly? Sounds like you need to give them a call.

Re: worse and worse every day. LE Mbox truly BLOWS!
I used to have an Mbox which I ran on a G3 iBook (600Mhz, dual USB ports). I found that it made a big difference as to which port I plugged it into.
Just a thought . . .

Re: worse and worse every day. LE Mbox truly BLOW
Tomcat,
I have had similar problems with the mbox on my g3 800 iBook since installing LE 6.0. I downloaded the ableton live 3.0 demo last week and I'm floored by it's performance and stability... so I sold my mbox. I will now be using live for all my looping and hard disk recording needs. No offence to Digi, because honestly, I didn't even have the patience to call tech support about my issues with the mbox. Live just seems to be a better fit for the type of recording and composition I'm doing. It just works! -Kevin |

Re: worse and worse every day. LE Mbox truly BLOW
Dude, I'd have to agree about Live. This is one truly sick program...I've been using it for (almost) everything: composition, loop construction, and a performance instrument. I love it...and it gets even sicker when I ReWire it into PT! This combo is a killer one-two punch.
About your mBox...this doesn't sound like normal behavior to me...you might even have a hardware problem. I'd definitely call Digi TechSupport if I were you...

[/QUOTE] Well actually I doubt it was hardware trouble because it worked fine in os9. I just find Live to be much more immediate and creative way to create. I sold the mBox for cash to purchase the maudio firewire 410, which will be my interface for Live and Reason. -Kevin |

Re: worse and worse every day. LE Mbox truly BLOW
Come on DIGI!!! this is getting old. It must be a clocking error, because the fix is toggle the clock/input source in the hardware setup. Please let me know you are working on this.
Y'all make Live sound great. I will try it, but my main activity is sound for film, not music. Sounds great though. |
