Distortion
|
Greetings,
Using a Firestudio project fresh out of the box with Cubase LE. I have the latest driver installed. Computer is a MacBook, 2.1/2 running OS 10.4.11
Everything works fine for a while, untill after a random amount of time the sound gets horribly and massively distorted. A restart of Cubase fixes it, until it starts again....
Suggestions?
Thanks.

I have just updated to 4.1.2 with no help. Right now it takes about a minute or two before it starts...... I am not doing anything that seems to cause it.....even sitting inactive it will do it....
I am now also getting static in the period that it "works"
I am NOT having fun.

Oh, things are fine with Garage Band.....so I guess it's not the hardware.
Yamaha on the phone states:"We don't support the free edition on the phone....." Guess that tells me where I can go. Think I'll be buying the upgrades?

Are there any other programs running when you are using Cubase LE? When you say "distortion," do you mean the playback starts to crack and pop?
Thanks.

I shut everything else down, except Fire Control. When I say distortion I mean massive distortion, as if you we're playing it through a $10 radio cranked up to max.....the music is barely recognizable.
Update: Same thing with Fire Control off.........
Thanks.

Understood. I am sure you tried this already, but I would make sure you have all the latest drivers and updates for the hardware and software. Try giving it a fresh install... meaning uninstall Cubase LE and the hardware and start new. I realize this takes time, but it will allow us to start from scratch.
Something like this is difficult to trouble shoot via a forum, so I can only suggest the steps I would take. I find that a fresh install often fixes most problems. If this doesn't help, give me a private email and we can go from there.
Thanks.

One doesn't uninstall on a MAC...... I downloaded 4.1.2 and installed it over 4.0.3 that should have refreshed everything. The problem occured before and after the upgrade. The driver for the hardware is fresh today as well.
I agree that these incompatabillities are a problem in software development.It may even be the particular OS version I'm using. Too many variables.
As I said, it works with Garage Band.....quite nicely I might add.
Thanks.
