MAC PRO REFUSES TO BE CLOCKED BY EXTERNAL WORDCLOCK!
I used my Apogee Rosetta 200 as AD/DA and Wordclock going direktly into optical input on a G5 ...
worked perfectly together for years.
pretty much what i loved macs for.
alas! those times are gone. with my new built mid 2010 machine and os 10.6.8 running, i get these
tiny clicks all the time, whatever they mean now... in the past on G5 and Tiger that meant: forgot switch to external clock in
the AMS (audio-midi-setup), done it, and ::: wow!!!
nowadays: total fail! i can set the Rosetta or the mac to whatever settings there are offerd, i ALWAYS get these clicks
and the sound is dull ...
i wonder, what has happenend here ... and after a month of research i´m getting really angry, too ...
Apogee claimed that Apple is known for changing the specs of the built in internal soundcard
every now an then. (not much help from there, either, but still better than no help at all from Apple)
Dear all: please, i don´t need any of those "get a firewire-card/new interface, sth with a driver" - comments.
I just want the mac pro to live up to it´s name. and i need someone at Apple to tell me, that i really have to
completely rearrange my trustet & expensive equipment and spend another 2000 EUR to let a MAC PRO
sound as good as a 5 year old G5 machine ... (or be as fast, talking about 32 Bit modus!!!)
this whole development scares the **** out of me .. we surely do
not want to change the plattform, but one gets the notion that not before long they just want us to ...
sorry for bothering ...
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
