spfatpipe Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Hi, I am considering to build an Apple machine to run Logic Express or Maybe Pro with an Intel D945GNTLKR and a M-Audio Firewire 1814. M-audio has beta drivers for Macintosh. Anyone tell me how well the 1814 beta driver works or if I should use a different motherboard/soundcard (I need ADAT lightpipe on the soundcard? All opinions much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPTiK Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Depends on what you're going to record. If it just for personal use I guess you'd be okay with the 1814. I know the 410 works well and I guess the 1814 would work just the same. After all the 1814 is just the 410s bigger brother. Is ADAT a must?

spfatpipe Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 Yep my mixer has ADAT Lightpipe... So must have the ADAT. Good to hear the 410 works, was that on a hackintosh or a real apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a hackintosh http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.4.5 scroll down to the sound cards section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPTiK Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Another interface you could consider is the Tascam 1804 has nice pres and it also has Universal Binary drivers for Intel and PPC Macs. http://www.tascam.com/Products/fw1804.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabriciom Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I've got a working FW 410. The previous beta had a problem with the monitoring (it didnt work) but that has been fixed in the new beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spfatpipe Posted April 8, 2006 Author Share Posted April 8, 2006 I read somewhere that you cant monitor audio through apple logic. So you cant use fx live on live tracks, is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPTiK Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Yeah you can, You have enable audio thru in the input section of audio midi setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasa Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I have an M-Audio ProjectMix I/O which is similar to the 1814. If i buy a firewire PCI card, this will work without any drivers on OSX? So system is able to "see" the card, and the plugged in firewire devices? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spfatpipe Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 You will almost certainly need a driver from M-Audio to even atempt it... BTW Well I got a Mac Mini Core duo in the end and the TASCAM 1804... Seems ok in both OSX and Windows (Camp Boot) ;-). Logic Xpress's assignment of Ins and Outs is a stupidly ristrictive, I might get Logic Pro but its sooooo expensive for induvidual users not making huge profits on there music but need pro features (this is not fair apple). It looks like the future upgrades will be around £200 which seems a bit steep to me. Does the developement of Logic really need that much funding?

Y-my-R Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Yes, you need the M-Audio FireWire driver for Intel for the ProjectMix. I have it running on my AMD with an ADS Tech FireWire card and it works great. I'm investigating system crashes with Logic 7.2 right now, but it crashes regardless of if I'm using the ProjectMix, AC97 or any other audio interface (I tried a couple), so I think it's safe to say that the ProjectMix works just fine with the M-Audio driver.
