OK...I've just about had it with this Mbox...first it was all that line 33 garbage when bouncing regions that were anywhere from 15 seconds to 3 minutes. And since digi "can't reproduce" this problem...I don't see any fixes coming son. Come over to my place and I can reproduce it in about 1 minute...but that is another issue.
Today's issue is the #@!*&$# Mbox. I use a Sony TCD-D8 to record DATs into my computer. I go from mini out on DAT to XLR on Mbox. In ProTools, it will be recording and going along and all of a sudden the levels drop to almost nothing...then a few minutes later, they jump back up...sometimes to normal levels...sometimes to half-ish levels and sometimes they blow out the peak meter. When the levels drop, there is tons of hum and buzz being recorded as well. I thought placement might be causing the interference or something hence trying the setup on the Powerbook listed below.
When plugging headphones into the DAT, everything sound crystal-clear and strong...
I have tried this set-up on the following machines...
Dual 1.8 G5 recording to an external 7200 rpm firewire drive
12" Powerbook 1.33 recording to an external 7200 rpm firewire drive
I have tried the USB cable did shipped with the Mbox and a ridiculously priced Belkin cable.
Is there something I can be doing differently when recording through the Mbox?
Thanks in advance...
