Massive problem with audio interface

guys,

i just ordered the thunderbolt universal audio Apollo twin ... apparently it could work .. i will let you know if i returned the interface or not

My experience was similar - though the tech support on the phone did try hard to be helpful; we spent 3 calls and over 3 hours on the phone together.

When I brought my computer into the retail store, as requested by phone support, they kept my machine for a week. After a full week of 'testing' they came back to me to let me know they couldn't diagnose any problems.

I asked them if there tested it with an external audio interface - their reply "no we just tested with internal audio and it worked fine".

Thanks for paying zero attention to the problem I reported and basically ignoring the issue.

C'mon Apple, I know the pro audio community isn't your money maker, but you sure do love to use us in your commercials and marketing to make the products feel cool.

Keeping the faith here, just please let us know you are working on a fix.

OMG, November problems and still not working fine? I was apple user for the first time with this Mac and I'm completely sad... Thinking why spent so much money if I have to work with a stupid laptop because Apple is taking such a LONG time...

What about the money audio producers are losing?

PD: I'm with the first beta someone posted and, dropouts are not ocuring, but clicks and pops EVERYTIME I record...

Hey I just finished reading all these post and probably like verybody I am very upset, same problem. No audio.

But there is hope - The option you have chosen, I was thinkig to do same thing, buy Apollo Twin, seems is working!

Have a look:

I've had the same problems with two interfaces: Onyx Blackbird and the new MOTU 828X

*** APPLE?

Has anyone tried the latest 10.9.2 beta that was released yesterday?

Hey guys,

iMac, fusion drive, Mavericks, motu soundcard... Same problems here...

My iMac came with Mountain Lion and I did the stupid thing to upgrade...

With mountain lion almost everything was ok. I say almost, because problems with USB 3 were there... For example, every time that I was turning off Ableton Push and there was music still playing from Motu, the whole audio system stoped for 1 second or something. One time I ejected an external hard drive (usb3) and happened the same.

But nothing can be compared to the problems that were intriduced since Mavericks came in... I can go for a clean instalation of Mountain Lion but I think i will wait for 10.9.2. If nothing changes, I think that everyone should go to an Apple store and make them understand how stupid this whole situaton is...

THE MOST ANNOYING THING IS THAT APPLE SAYS NOTHING ABOUT IT...

I've partitioned my Mac mini fusion drive.

How do you 'transfer ' to the new non SSD partition?

I don't wanna have to reinstall various 3rd party music software and Migration Assistant doesn't seem to work

>3 Months and the focusrite guys did not even change one letter on their info site:

"....while we investigate further."

Hey ViennaTom,

I was under the impression that the Focusrite stuff was working now with the class compliant driver, as long as you don't have a Fusion drive.

Am I mistaken?

(Sorry, I've lost track of who's doing what after about a month of this BS)

For me, the F-Rite is working even with the Fusion drive! Was definitely not working for about 3 - 4 weeks after maverick install from scratch. So that is why I thought the file re-balancing could be the root cause.

Anybody with a scarlett plus FD (working or not working)?

Folks,

This is an update. I've been running OS X 10.9.2 (13C44) (I think this is the third beta) for a week. It resolved my problems, removing the pops and clicks that occured with the ealier beta. i've waited to post to see if things would remain fixed. Works fine with MIDI software (Kontakt, etc.), audio recording, and playback, bouncing, etc. Had four hour session last night, and mixed all day today.

As this may not work for everyone, my setup is as follows:

Interface: Saffire Pro 40 -> Firewire 400 --> 800 adaptor --> Thunderbolt adaptor --> iMac

iMac:

27inch

3TB fusion drive

Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB

16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

3.5 GHz Intel Core i7

Best of luck to everyone.

Where did you find the third beta?

same setup as you, having the second beta.

I've just Partitioned my MM Fusion Drive and Have booted up Mavericks 10.9.1 from the NON SSD Superduper'd Partition and

BOOM NO AUDIO GLITCHING! and the Graphics display issues are gone.

So its great to know 10.9.2 appears to work.

Just why we HAVE to go to such lengths to work around a juvenile OS like Mavericks......Lord only knows

I'm sure that we're not to post the direct link.

The problem is, the site I found it at, only has the most recent beta. Since my beta, a new beta has been posted.

Since I've got time machine, I'm going to test it out. I'll let you know.

If you're feeling lucky search for: OS X 10.9.2 Beta Build 13C53
