10.6.8 introduced a ton (Over 100 ms) of latency into my recording chain, essentially creating an 1/8th note delay at some tempos. The update also introduced a bunch of digital noise, so even if I could play ahead, it is impossible to record like this. Is anyone else having a similar problem? I've heard problems with popping audio and dropouts, but nothing pertaining to recording.
Hi,
I got a similar problem since today! The system was running ok since Dec, 2010. And now I got cracking noices and delay while recording. I got a MAC book pro / Zoom R16 / Logic 9.
I used all new drivers etc. - anyone who can help me, because I can not work with this system anymore 😟
I have the exact same issue! I hadn't had my Zoom up running as audio-interface since I've got MAC OS X 10.6.8 and I though it was a bad connection in my Zoom, so I've been all over the Zoom inside to find a weak link with some electronic tools, but nothing appeared, and then I decided to look online for solutions or similar issues! We need to report this to Zoom and Steinberg!
I have now sent a complain to Zoom, and hopefully they will follow up on it, otherwise I will call their technical support directly for confrontation of the missing driver for newer versions of the MAC OS X
Peace!
Same here! Did the update today, until yesterday everything worked fine.
If anyone solves the problem please post here!
I've written to Zoom some time ago to and got the following e-mail:
Dear Mr. Rasmus Nielsen,
Thank you for using our product.
First of all, please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.
We are seeking a solution to settle the matter. We will inform you as soon as we find answer to the problem.
Thank you for your patience.
Sincerely yours,
ZOOM Corporation <<
the solvation will be to check into http://www.zoom.co.jp/downloads/r16/software/ everyday, but sadly it takes some time to find the core of the issue and then fix it, make it a new driver and set it up... But check in recently, and when the new driver is avaible, the issue can be solved by downloading!
Now I'm sooo glad nobody made a serious offer for my lexicon I-Onix.
Please let us know if and when you hear anything.
Thanks for checking into this!
no problem, and I surely will :-) Some people on the Zoom official forum is also on standby for me to get the answer :-)
I did the same thing and got basically the same e-mail, I dunno if this is particularly important to them... The fact that this problem has persisted a month is more frustrating than anything. ðŸ˜
I have the same issue with the same response. I've read forums that try to solve it by downgrading usb 2 prefs to earlier versions or deleting parts completely. I'm not that savvy and would rather wait for an official response, not knowing what effects may occur by messing with the system. One solution might be to downgrade the whole system to 10.6.7?
I have the exact same problem! everything was running perfectly since i upgrede to 10.6.8 but now while i'm recording i get cracking noise and a second of delay time everytime i play a single note. impossible work with this sytem... :sad:
Guys, when you say you contacted Zoom, where did you find the email or form to write to?
I can't find it anywhere.
Is this happening with all the Audio applications (Logic, Cubase, etc)? It's happening to me using Logic but I don't have any other to test.
Did anybody tried the downgrade to 1.6.7?
Anybody knows how to do it?
Thanks a lot!
Thank you!
I have downgraded for now to 1.6.6 and no latency issue now.
However, I have tons of clicks.
I've read somewhere that clicks and noise could be related to USB drivers.
Anyone had a similar issue?
By the way, I've downgraded by reinstalling the Snow Leopard DVD and all my applications and settings wasn't touched.
Here are the steps:
