Sorry I'm a new user. I'm using a MOTU 896HD audio interface, Mac G5 Dual 2 GIG, 2 Gig Ram, recording to La Cie Firewire HD I'm using Analog inputs from 896 and ADAT inputs from DA-7, monitoring thru analog outpputs 896 to Blue sky 5.1 set at direct hardware playthrough with waves platinum bundle plugins (C-1 gates on drums) and 2 band MOTU EQ on HP on everything except Kick and Bass

I have narrowed it down to only when I am recording digital audio(ADAT and AES/EBU) with analog inputs to my 896HD total audio drop outs random timing sometimes all the way out to 45 seconds into the piece. I was beginning to suspect my DA-7 until I recorded a DAT to DP direct AES/EBU with Left Ch Clipping on DP input (the same level on DAT and also on Analog input on DA-7 and got same results)

Isn't there a recommendation for Tiger with 4.6?

I could be wrong...

Anything past 10.3 is supposed to be fine.

Have you tried NOT recording on the firewire drive?

Try with the internal drive to see if the problem
goes away...
