Re: Midas MR18 over USB: Loud crackling driving me mad

Thanks for your reply Daniel. I will persevere with trying to sort my problem with the MR18 but it might leave it for a wee while. Now I have my 828 Mk2 working I need to get some work done :-) As I said previously I have used a Midas M32 to record multitracks, over USB and with no problems, so it i...

Re: New Mac: Loud crackling driving me mad

I’m happy to say that I’m now up and running with my 828 Mk2. I got the TB to FW adapter from eBay UK - it must be made of solid gold considering it cost me around £87 ($109) and the other adapter TB3 to TB2 I got from Apple for “only” £49 ($62). So that’s total of £137 ($171) for two small adapters...

Re: New Mac: Loud crackling driving me mad

Hello HCMarkus, Thanks for your reply. Huh, typical Apple, I can't see the TB to FW adapter on the Apple UK site, just not listed. I guess it is discontinued. There are some on eBay in UK but they are outrageously expensive although there is one for only £29.99 but without a buy it now option. I'm j...

Re: New Mac: Loud crackling driving me mad

Hi, thanks very much for replying. That is indeed good news if I can get my 828 Mk2 to work. I had just assumed that it wouldn't be possible. I'd be most grateful if you could point me to the adapters I would need. Regarding the USB cable I have tried several including some very old printer cables w...

Re: New Mac: Loud crackling driving me mad

More experimenting shows me that some embedded video in websites crackles always, but on some other sites video is playing perfectly and no crackles. WTF is going on? I wish I could get to the bottom of this. I suppose it's not the end of the world and I can always use my Mac's headphone output, but...

Re: New Mac: Loud crackling driving me mad

Hi, thanks for replying. I've tried different USB cables and different configurations of all my USB connections hubs etc. Sample rate on the Mac and the Midas are the same. Buffer size I dont think is too relevant as the dreadful crackling is happening with both DP and Logic, and also with DSP Quatt...

Midas MR18 over USB: Loud crackling driving me mad

Hi folks. I got a new Mac Studio and have spent the last month moving all my stuff onto it. Very laborious as I have so many plug-ins :-) I previously was on a MacMini i7 using a Firewire 828 Mk2, but as the new Mac Studio doesn’t have FW I have now connected a Midas MR18 via USB. Now I am at my wit...
