Happens to me sometimes too... (5.13, dual 1.4 G4 ...ya ya I know... soon...) Actually there's a thread on the DUC about the same behaviour in PT... It seems to happen only with APPLE-S Saves rather than choosing save from the File Menu. It's POSSIBLE that OS X doesn't record some keystrokes and the...

AFAIK, the FULL install disks of Leopard were "FAT" binaries... meaning both the INTEL and PPC code is in there... the machine just chooses which one to run. Not sure if it would work with the install disks that COME with an INTEL, but the short answer is yes... an install of 10.5 on a PPC...

Three days of HARD use and NOTHING! YAY! The only problem I had was traced back to a stupid error on my part. I've even got my Glpyh's back online and no squeals... Almost like having a new piece of gear!

Haven't had the squeal with the new driver/firmware yet... but I haven't been working hard on the system. The show I'm scoring is back in production so I'll report back if I have any problems in the next few days with heavy use...

828mk3 v1.06 now available!

Just in from the RSS feed... Firmware 1.06 - "Addresses a high-pitched squeal issue which may have occurred under heavy firewire bandwidth usage. "

Available at the MOTU site... here's hoping (I'm at my work studio right now and can't test it out...)

Hi Alan, We use the MTP/AV's for sync here all the time (although we'll probably have to go up to SYNC HD's as we're going to need Tri-Level soon). While you are correct that the MTP doesn't have a manual online (that's MOTU's policy) the drivers and software most certainly are right here: http:www....

No entirely true. I've gotten AAF files from P/T and I believe Media 100 and Avids that don't work in DP, or at least didn't under the DP version I was using at the time. Certainly that was NOT DP 5.13 so maybe those were fixed, but in 5.11 I still couldn't open AAFs reliably, nor could I import OM...

The problem isn't DP (which opens AVID and FCP AAF's just fine) but Premiere... The AAF export in Premiere was really only designed for transfer to After Effects, so as far as us poor audio folks go, it basically doesn't work! (For what it's worth it doesn't work in PT either). One solution is to ha...

Under the Apple choose "About This Mac" then click on "More Info". In the system profiler check under Firewire to see if the interfaces are even seen by the FW port (they'll show up as devices with weird names). If they ARE, then it's a software issue... Try uninstalling any driv...

Just installed it - definitely fixes the output issue. Sadly the "squeal" still seems to be happening - although I just did a reset so we'll see it it's a "leftover". I HAVE noticed that the squeal only occurs when the CueMix FX software is open, so it may be a software issue.
