Thanks Matthias, I'll report after some checks.

Last night I asked you about a Patriot memory stick that was working with the first pre release and now UFX says "Media/Device Error". Any idea?

Thanks.

Thanks for this release Matthias!
You guys are moving really fast now.

I meant close it from the tray icon

About stopped recordings, it's already recording for almost 2 hours with no problem, so I hope this issue was really solved.
Update: 5 hours with no problem

Thanks Matthias.

Verified, it's okay with RC1b. Thanks Matthias

Just wanted to report a successful recording of a classical concert:
4 days in a row, each day 3-4 hours recording, 6 channels 44.1kHz/24Bit
- main path was to a Thinkpad T60P, Windows 7, 32Bit and a SSD-Harddisk using Digiface, no special tuning of the laptop
- backup path was through USB to a Western Digital Harddrive WD5000 MES, formatted with fat32formatter

I'm an amateur and have no real responsibility to deliver the final recording,
so I took the risk and used your prerelease rc1+SW 1.37+driver 0981 for this task.

Harddisk was at ~8 %, neither USB nor Digiface reported any errors during all the single recordings of 1-4 hours each.

So far, I didn't detect any klicks/errors/inconsistencies of the material:
neither from the ones created through Digiface nor the ones created through USB.

Thank you programmers at RME for the "just in time" delivery of rc1!

Tests done with the latest versions of firmware and driver as indicated at the top of this thread, using Seagate USB 2.0 640 GB drive P/N9SD2AG-500 - - - Recording with all 30 inputs active 44.1, ran error free for over 8 hours. With 60 inputs active shows USB loads of 70-80%, with intermittent loads over 100%, generating errors to the tune of 7 errors in about 4 minutes. Something intermittently pushes the USB load intermittently as high as 120%, then it will drop right back down to 70-80%.

Additional test done of recording 32 inputs at 48k, I get 9 errors in 6 hours of recording. HD utilization averages 47%, only occasionally spikes to over 100% and generates errors.

Additional test - Hitachi Deskstar HDS724040KLSA80 (400 GB) ESATA drive in a SIIG USB 3.0 dock, recorded 60 tracks at 48k for 2 1/2 hours, USB ran approximately 70%, no errors.

No procedure, just remove it (but not while it's recording).

Firmware 138
Fireface_291_x86 drivers and firewire connection.
TM FX version 0.94 (final release)
Ableton Live 8.2.1
Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.7

Something wrong with the firmware?
I had to increase buffer to over 400 samples to get this working and even then I hear crackles and sound breaking up.

Not working for me, so I went back to
Firmware 137
Fireface_291_x86 drivers and firewire connection, and
TMFX 0.94 MAC OS X RC 1b
which I had previously installed and now I can go down to 29 samples without any problems. (although I do use a little higher buffer just to be sure)

BTW, will you still enable the mackie control output bus selection?
Would be nice to get led feedback to my controllers. For now I'm using midi commands to select the output buses..

I asked earlier for the dedicated midi command for the trim on, but now I actually got the trim button's led feedback working with LcXmu and Behringer BCR2000. For some reason it doesn't work with the BCF2000 in mackie emulation mode, but that's ok because I'm using them both anyway, so I can easily look it up from the BCR.

Anyway, the problem is definitely with the LcXmu, cause obviously the feedback from TMFX to LcXmu does work as it should. Just hoping for the mackie ctrl ouput bus selection to come back again. :-)

Ok, I first updated the firmware to 138. Audio worked just fine, but when I pressed my midi foot controlled connected to UFX midi in, my whole OSX crashed (never happened before)

After rebooting, everything seemed to work ok. (Just played for a few minutes though)

Then I replaced the TMFX with the new version. Everything ok..

Then Installed the fireface driver and rebooted. Then the real problems started again. TMFX won't open, just crashes. Tried to reinstall the driver, but tmxf just won't start.. I sent the crash report to your email in case it helps..

Weird, cause the driver is the same one I used with the previous firmware. (at least the same version number) How can installing the same driver again stop it from working?

I'll just downgrade again for now, hopefully the problem is just a minor one.

Hmph. I'm not a rocket scientist, but I do know how to read. The first time I did exactly as instructed in the 1st post. (I've also done this about 10 times before with other versions, so I already know the procedure) As I mentioned, the problem was with audio and ableton live, not TMFX. (I also tested twice before posting here)

2nd (or actually 3rd)update I did as you instructed in your post #18,

because I thought you wanted me to check in that exact order for some reason.

I was just trying to help because I thougt there was something wrong with the release, but after updating ableton live to version 8.2.2 instead of 8.2.1, (just found out about the update) and upgrading the UFX once more, it seems to be working now. So I'm not sure what was causing the problem.. Possibly old live version then? I'll test some more and report if I get more problems.

Could you still answer my question about the output bus/submix selection with mackie control?
Earlier you stated that it would be brought back to the final release, and if I've understood correctly, the TMFX is in it's final release stage at the moment. That's why I'm asking for it now.

Thanks!

Great! Thanks for the reply! Didn't notice it there. Awesome and all the best to you.

Thanks for updating. :-)
