FIREPOD setup

[Thaumist]

Heloo

 

I am in between a rock and hardplace. My preferred audio interface is in a coma, my back up is a used presonus firepod which I have not used on this computer before. I am trying to find software, etc, to get it up and running. The manuals all say it should already be in sync with my computer. This is not happening. Any direction would be helpful. My specs should work

 

OSX 10.4.11

3 GB RAM

2 Ghz Intel core 2

 

Also, I use a firewire port (6). Is this creating the problem? My computer simply wont identify the firepod.

No need to install drivers to make the firepod working on your computer.

Core Audio should recognise it.

 

Disconnect all firewire devices from your mac.

Then connect only the firepod.

Go to your audio- midi configuration and look if it pops up in the list.

if so, your done

 

If not:

Use another firewire cable, maybe it is broken.

Or try another firewire input on your mac.

 

Sometimes my firepod doesn't get connection from the first time with my mac.

so I restart both. That usually works.

 

edit: That fiewire port is that something like a firewire hub?

If so, try connecting direct to your mac.

 

I hope to have helped you a bit.

Hey thanks for the reply

 

yeah the firewire port is a hub with six ports. I'll try connecting direct.

 

Maybe also the firepod itself is faulty, probably why the producer gave it to me
