thenickstarr Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hello, is anyone using logic with a firestudio project? I'm having a bunch of garbled audio problems that really seem to come out of nowhere. Nothing I change in the audio preferences seems to have any effect. Its just strange clicking and popping that comes and goes as it pleases. I am running leopard and they say on the presonus website that the project drivers are compatible... Just wondering if anyone has heard anything about this? Thanks! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis of Ardor Studios Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I'm afraid you're not the only one. Sorry I have no solution for you but I am running a firestudio project daisied with the firepod and the reason I got the Project was because my firepod was doing (what sounds like) the same thing that is happening to yours. How long have you had your FSP? Andy @ AOAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenickstarr Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 I just picked it up about a week ago. I've been trying to contact presonus about this but my posts have gone unanswered and I can't get any of their tech people to write or call me back. I only have 1 gig of ram, not sure if that would make much of a difference because it doesn't seem like a memory problem, but I'm out of ideas. Is your system still having the problem or did adding the project cure it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis of Ardor Studios Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Sad to say that it hasn't fixed the problem. It is rare that it happens but when it does resetting the units usually takes care of the Crackle of Doom. Since they are both still hooked up it could still be the firepod causing the problem. I will try unhooking it and see how it goes. As for RAM I am running 4Gigs and it still happens with the pod attached. Grr. Andy @ AOAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenickstarr Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 OK so I talked to our buddies at Presonus finally. They said that most people have no problems but they have had some issues with Leopard and the FSP. They are waiting on some tests and then they will contact Apple about working on the core audio drivers. As for now I was told to try going back to Tiger... Time to remember how to partition...

Aegis of Ardor Studios Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Thanks for talking to the presonus people. Truly unfortunate. Though I am still, for the most part, pleased with everything Presonus I've played with so far, nothing screams "Trust me I'm a professional" like having to restart your hardware while siting with a client because their tracks all sound like they are being played through a pair of rice cakes. I am only running the FSP now, I've unhooked the Firepod and no crackling yet however I haven't had a decent session with it yet. Maybe I can get a noise out of it by sunday. Science, after all, isn't about making something stop. It's about finding out what makes it start and then destroying it! ....err... fixing the problem that is. Either way.

reddsax Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I've had my FSP for a week now and I have the same problem but I'm running tiger. I've found that changing from 44.1 to 48 back to 44.1 in logic solves the problem for that particular session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonsays Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 reddsax, what version of Tiger are you running? I'm having the same problem with my FSP. I had a Firepod and it worked without issue for a few days and up and quit and I couldn't get it working again so I "upgraded". Ever since I haven't recorded. I was told that an option was returning to Tiger but not over 10.4.8. LOVE LOGIC 8! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjg9578 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I had the same issues with the firestudio using Leopard and Tiger. It is a bigger problem than presonus thinks. I didnt have time to wait for the new "drivers" so I returned it and got an apogee duet. Although it only has two inputs, the sound on this thing is awesome.

teamworkmammal Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 just thought i'd pipe in so people dont feel so alone. same problem- on latest version of tiger. although switching from 44 to 48 generally works- its more often the problem that "firecontrol" freezes before i have the opportunity. it sometimes goes as far as to force a restart on my entire computer. i think the "only 10% of people" experiencing this problem must be 99% of the mac community. totally unprofessional, and makes me look bad. it happens at least once a session on a good day, several on a bad one. why doesnt this thing work like the old firepod???

fazmanicg Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I have the FP-10. My problem is not exactly like yours, but I do have to Switch from 44.1 to 48, then back to 44.1 in order to get any audio out of it. Once I do that, It works really well. Spoke with Presonus several weeks ago, and they are trying to get Apple to update the Core Audio Driver. This is the Only problem so far that is making my whole new "MAC" experience a flawless one!

teamworkmammal Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 im thinking of ditching the firestudio for the fp-10. i used to have a first gen firepod and i couldnt have been happier. i bypassed the preamps and a/d- and it was a joy to work with. but THIS thing....... anyone want to trade....seriously??

simonsays Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 TWM, that's just what I did. Today I returned the FireStudio and got the FirePod, made sure there were no remnants of the Studio's drivers and plugged it in. It's working great. All it's missing is the flashy lights and 2 instead of 4 phantom power busses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonsays Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Oh and there is NO DRIVERS to install for the FirePOD in Leopard. That's what I was looking for in the first place was a plug and play unit that needs no 3rd party software. As it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamworkmammal Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 yeah i mean, im kind of in a spot. i only have 2 outboard channels- which means when i record drums, i need the fs's extra preamps- which are ever so slightly better than the fp's. but what good are slightly better preamps if i'm loosing business because i look like a clown with kiddie equipment that fails a couple times a session?? curse that hooligan who stole my firepod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
