Philip Perkins Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 In my increasingly desperate attempts to get yet more inputs for my under-powered Metacorder rig (G4 1.5 GHz), I hit on the idea of adding inputs via the USB2 port, since I really can't bog the FW (400) bus any more than I am already. I've done a test that looks good adding 2 tracks from a USB interface to the rig I already had (22 tracks, thus 24 tracks in record 24/48), and am reticent to go farther (until I'm even MORE desperate, that is)--the test is 90 min continuous record. Has anyone tried using combos of FW and USB2 input devices with Metacorder or Boom Recorder or anything else on a Mac laptop? Yes, I know I need a new computer. Tell my family and loan officers.

Sergio Sanmiguel Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hey Philip, So, what kind & how many interfaces/Mac you're currently using? What's your budget to expand your inputs & expectations for this system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I kind of answered my own question by Extensive Testing here at See A Dog Labs. I aggregated an old MBox 1 with my MOTU stuff, and got 24 tracks of 24/48 to stay in record for a 95 min run. I ran thru the tracks and didn't find any glitches, so I think I'm good to go for now.
