I've bought a presonus audio box 44VSL which use to work on maverick OSX and this new upgrade you sent us, I'm having problem.
Logic Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4), Studio engineer
....this new upgrade you sent us
Remember you are talking to fellow end-users here, not Apple. You can leave feedback about OSX issues for Apple with this link:
When i was using windows or pc, I never had this problem yet.
I understand your frustration but....
Those working with Windows 8.. are having similar issues when used in conjunction with newer PCs..... It's not just Apple... It's not just Presonus....
Hopefully newer drivers from Presonus will be available shortly.....
Note:
This why I posted up this notice and kept it at the forefont of this community for the last couple of weeks....
Latest OS X & Logic Pro Compatibility Information
That advice applies to any OS upgrade.. be it to OS X or Windows..... or iOS for that matter!
Cheers..

If i was using pc or windows i won’t use windows 8 and if knowing this OS X 10.10 cause problem, i won’t have use it. Now i know the problems of upgrading with apple, i’ll never take a new upgrade for a while.
This from Presonus; (Generally a Mac-centric company)
"As you know, Apple is quite a secretive company, keeping many specifics close to their chest, all the way until launch day. This secrecy even extends outward to any and all developers outside of the Apple-MacWorld walls. The various beta versions shared with external developers and even within the public beta (prior to the actual commercial release) do not ever fully reflect the final, commercial version that has made the cut to be the "Golden Seed" for the final public launch."
I have heard this, (actually far worse) for years from the two developers I know personally. Some developers never see the last several Beta's before the final release. It's not always the developers fault that driver's or plugins are not up to date, it's Apple's secrecy and also their hierarchy of what constitutes a "trusted" (read kiss ***) Apple developer.
I have two Presonus Fire Studio Project's I use for 16-track mobile recording, on a 6yr old PC Laptop... that amazingly can record 16-tracks simultaneously on an internal 5400 RPM drive, longest session I've done is two hours non-stop.
If anyone was going to give Apple a break on this it would be Presonus, the fact they mention the secrecy that has been known for years among some developers is telling.
While I would generally agree with your comments about Apple's secrecy....
Something is not quite right about Presonus's comments....
The last public/Dev beta ( Build 14A388B) was the GM and was practically the same as the release version.....(Build 14A389) The only thing that changed as far as anyone can tell.. is the build number from the B for beta designation to the release build... and a minor tweak to a graphical element in System Prefs....
In fact when I initially tried to update to the release version from the last Beta... the system wouldn't let me as the two versions had no changes and so the upgrade wasn't required..... I had to manually select to download the release version and then install it....
I checked with my contacts at Motu and they confirmed they had no issues prepping their 10.10 updated drivers based on the last two beta builds released and confirmed nothing of importance to the Audio/Midi side changed during that time.. which is why their drivers were out and working quite early on prior to the final release of 10.10. Any issues they have come across with any of the devices were present early on in the beta testing process.. are related to hardware not software changes... and they were aware of them and are working on fixing them via a further driver update due out shortly I understand.
Presonus is very Mac-Centric, been huge Apple supporters from day one so it's odd they would present false information, unless it was to cover their own hide. :-)
This thing is I've heard almost the exact same story from smaller private developers.
Nigel, I wonder if it would shed any light on their comments if you contacted them directly, I've always had generally great support from Presonus, their early Windows drivers were weak and I had a lot of communication with them.

One thing to try is re-installing the latest control-panel/drivers.
Did you check with PreSonus whether they intend to start supporting the current version of OSX rather than just the old ones?
I read all this announcement, because i think all this is just an excuse for apple and personus. When i was using windows or pc, I never had this problem yet.
