Presonus FireBox dropouts/pops/clicks?
Presonus FireBox dropouts/pops/clicks?
Well, I installed my new FireBox and it syncs fine and looks all good until I record. It drops out, pops, clicks, all the bad signs. I've tried everything listed on the Presonus site. Anyone else had similar?
My setup:
P4 3.2Ghz HT
1.5 GB ram
XP Home
Cubase LE, Goldwave
Drops out on all latencies, all sampling rates. I even turned off my wireless connection. I'm only trying to do one, count em, one, channel of audio. My MobilePre was flawless, this so far is a royal hassle....
Thanks in advance,
Cochise

Oh, and I am finally getting some use out of my MobilePre and am rather impressed.

My machine is tweaked to the prescribed things, yes, but why should I have to tweak for one lousy audio stream. I can stream in mini DV to my p3 1Ghz laptop no problem and this one will run Half Life 2 at nearly 30fps a sec. Just seems ridiculous. They assumed it was my Firewire chipset, but I have a TI, just like they want so they're out of answers. My tech guy hasn't responded yet. Those extra 8 bits are a huge hassle, let me tell you.
I think I'm going to call in this eve or tomorrow, waiting for email just isn't working out. Thankfully I don't need this to work immediately, but I tried again last night. At even a 10ms latency, I get a regular skipping on playback. Almost like a scratched cd. Real weird. Hopefully the tech folk will come through for me. thanks

Yeah, I've found that even the good companies take longer to handle email support questions. I think you're better off calling, that way you're hard to ignore.

Total fragmentation is at 9%, not enough to matter. Still haven't heard back so I'll call tomorrow and we'll work it out. I'm excited to hear if it's really any different than my MobilePre in terms of quality. I'll have to do a blind ear test and let you know.
Side question: I need a short (2ft) xlr patch cable, recommended brands?
Thanks

Probably a stupid question, but is the hard drive you're recording on a media drive (7,200 revs minimum)? , and also not the C drive?

Yeah, the sample rates are the same. The program doesn't usually let you record if they aren't. I've tried it in multiple programs too.
I called Presonus, they told me that even though my internal was TI, that was the problem and to buy another card. I just bought a PCMCIA card I was told was TI and it's not. I got it home, tried it out with the same results. It's an ADS TechGear card, same exact problem. I get a skip every 30 seconds or so. It's cost me more in time and extra hardware than it's worth, that's for sure. Can't wait to hear what Presonus says...
