just spent the last 2 hours giving the new beta MIDI driver a workout with two separate setups; one with a macpro and a mtpav usb, and the other a macbookpro with a micro lite. i used both the built-in USB3 ports on the computers, and a powered 10port USB2 hub. sending on multiple cables, multiple c...

I received a TechLinks message today from MOTU. A public beta of their driver is available for download here...

i talked with MOTU at the NAMM a few weeks ago and they said that they're actively pursuing a fix, but that it involves changes by both MOTU as well as Apple. so, it's coming but dont expect it any time soon. i have a good friend who works tech support at Apple, and they've got higher priorities.

i plan on stopping by their booth at the NAMM some time this week and inquiring as to just exactly what the plan really is going forward.

this is the response i got back from MOTU today regarding this issue... "Thanks for writing. This is a known issue with USB3 ports and MOTU MIDI interfaces on newer Macs. We are currently investigating the issue with Apple, but for the time being, using a powered USB2 hub to connect the interfa...

am continually experiencing random stuck and missing MIDI notes with every DAW i use with my 2 different MTPAVs (USB) and my Micro Lite MIDI interfaces since updating to MacOS 10.10.x (yosemite). the stuck and missing notes occur with DAWs whether i'm playing thru the interfaces in real time or whet...

VBX6 didnt try to fix anything. just reported what it found.

Resource forks are deprecated in Mac OS X v10.6, so you have to question the relevance of this "problem." Although Intego may be giving you the most cautious explanation (and I agree that they should), I don't recall ever seeing a file with a broken resource fork crash the operating syste...

I ask again, though - does this matter? If the file opens and works properly, I don't think it does. i say again, according to Intego this change can crash mac os x, and that's unacceptable. i dont care if the file launches safely 1000 times, if a known issue can cause the system to go down, fix th...

I'd agree, but in this case, I don't think DP is creating files with bad resource forks. I think that ViruBarrier is either misreporting the bad resource forks, or actually creating them itself when it scans the DP files. DP 7.2x has definitely changed something in its resource fork writing in some...

If not, then I'd say it doesn't matter if VirusBarrier reports that your DP files are as radioactive as Chernobyl. Really, I think your problem is VirusBarrier itself...it is erroneously reporting corruption. You just don't need to be that worried, particularly about the malware that you cited, sin...

. If you don't mind my asking, why would you run an antivirus in a Mac? More specifically, why on a machine that you use as your DAW? Virusbarrier X6 is more than just a virus protection app. it's a firewall, network protection, anti-phishing, anti-spyware program all rolled into one and is much mo...

Yikes this is bad. What happens when you save the file to a lower version? when updating to newer versions of sw, i delete the lower version once i verify normal functionality without any obvious gotchas. i do have the v7 install disc but i cant find any v7.1x updates online anywhere, and i dont kn...

i ran a full scan of my laptop with virusbarrier 10.6.8 and the program logged 4 files that were supposedly corrupted. all 4 files were MOTU Digital Performer (v7.21) files. i then opened one of the files and made a minor modification to the file, then saved it and run a scan of the newly saved file...

I'm not sure what IK 1.0 is -- do you mean "SampleTank 2.5.2"? I actually went looking through the IK updates in my user area last night looking for it and all I saw were the regular updates, like SampleTank 2.5.2, Philharmonik 1.1 and Sonik Synth 2.4, and a blurb that said all IK VIs wer...
