POWER MAC G5 QUAD with MOTU 24i/o PCI-X

Hey Guys,

I just bought a Quad 4x2,5GHZ and i am very pissed with it :)
I jused to work with a PCI 421 and Motu 24i/o on my very old PC and it just worked fine (Under Windows 2000 muhahahaha)
My best Latency In and Out together was 3ms (AMAZING)

No on my f***ing MAC with my f***ing PCI-X and the same 24i/o my best latency is 5,6 ms!!!

Whats wrong...? This is just can't be true!!!
PCI X should be faster and the Mac also !!!


I am thinking of selling all this crab and buy me a good old Studer instead :)

The Latency is a core audio issue. But at 64 samples of latency you should be fine. Also with a PCI 424 card the DSP helps eliminate all forms of input latency.

I have been PCI 424 since December of 2002 and the only place I notice Latency is with DP and Virtual Instruments. With Logic 7 and a buffer size of 512 or even 1024, I notice zero latency with my virtual instruments. I believe the issue to be a DP noticable issue only.

SO far as recording live inputs. I have not noticed any audible (maybe 7 samples or less) latency. Not sure what you are dealing with besides number crunching.

Personally I keep my bufferrs high in DP for mixing purposes. Tracking audio is not an issue due to auto input monitoring, etc.....

Quad and Dual Core G5s = PCI-e

Earlier G5 = PCI-X or PCI, depending on model

PCI card compatible w PCI, PCI-x

PCI cards not compatible w PCI-e, which is the slot you have if you have quad g5

Yes sorry that was my fault, i know it's a PCI e Card...
And that's totally fine, it's just slower than my old pci card!!!!

And I know about buffersizes ect. (Usually i work with ProTOOLS, or APOGEE at work!!!SAME CRAP!!!) but i want 3 ms latency and 24 channels 96khz realtime recording (SO I CAN WORK WITH THE TAPERETURN SIGNAL)!!!!!!

and that's not possible with cubase sx3.0 motu 24i/o pci e G5 QUAD!!!!

Sorry,


F*** THAT!

Dude, that's ugly, wrecks the 'vibe', and I've no doubt it would affect both the speed, number and quality of responses you receive!
Giles117's polite, cool-headed approach is typical of this forum, and one of the main reasons why I'm here.

Picture the exchange you just had with giles117 happening in a music store.
Half the staff'd be making themselves scarce just to reduce the odds of having to deal with drama.
Keep that up and the "Vibe Police" may show. Could get ugly. 8)

Wooooo! (sire sound effect)... "Vibe Police here..."

Hey Can... my name is James. I'm the admin here. I see you've made only 2 posts thus far so I'd like to ask you early on not to drop in here and start throwing the "F" bomb around in an angry mannner. You don't know everybody here, and we're not all prudes, but if you talked that way in front of my mother I'd want to smack you. I let it slide here and there, but something about your posts bothered me, and I'd perfer to not be subjected to it on this forum. I (and probably the others here) see it and hear it every day more than enough in real life.

Any way, you're certainly welcome here, but please do me a favor and chill with the language just a bit. I've edited your posts. Maybe I'm just not hip... I'll get over it.

Ok

Fine I'll stop.... I'am not a native english speaker... and i guess it's not ok to write like that!


I am really sorry,



But i am really really unhappy, because i just spent so so so much money for that in hope it is working better than my old PC

And I am really angry about the Industrie that's running peoples lifes!
This is not fair, and i am not going to support this anymore
that's why i think a f*** is just the best word to discribe that!


I am not a person who swearing all the time, but if u all knew what the responding of motu, macintosh ect. ect. to my problems and questions was u all would feel the same way

TODAY I AM REALLY HAPPY

because i just sold everything

I AM FREE and NOT a PR*ST*T*TE anymore



CU Guys
