We will test it some days when it's finally released.

Whagi, if you want to be sure anything (not only RME stuff) works with any update you can never install anything within days of its release. You have to wait for the brave to test it. Even when running a Duet. And there have been very few first OSX releases by apple that didn´t break audio stuff (sometimes software, sometimes hardware drivers).
So either make a backup and try or wait (or take a gamble....)

Good luck!

Good point, Vincent...

BTW, currently even Pro Tools does not seem to work with 10.7: http://www.airusersblog.com/home-page/2 … icial.html

If you BF works now, work with it the way it is, esp. if you rely on it financially, and test 10.7 when drivers become available. This is the best way to preserve your investment.

The golden master of Lion does no longer show some performance problems and errors that we saw earlier, so it seems Apple has fixed those.

Unfortunately they seem to have introduced a new bug: when changing the sample rate several things can happen:

- playback is garbled for several seconds
- the application hangs for several seconds
- a mixture of both

With programs like Logic, which needs several seconds to switch anyway, the error is not easily noticable. With iTunes it is.

This error also affects Apples own FireWire driver, so is not caused by our drivers. We have informed Apple and hope a fix will come soon.

This error is no showstopper, and if you switch sample rate not so often you most likely don't even notice it. Apart from this Lion seems to work ok with audio.

Personally I would not update my OS until this problem has been solved.

Guess we will find out sooner that we thought. Lion is out and available on the App store tomorrow (20th July)!!

..will test it a lot more over the next few days.

By the way, just got an email from Apogee, saying:

"On the day Apple’s Mac OS X Lion is available for purchase in the App Store, Apogee is pleased to announce compatibility with this groundbreaking Mac OS update for these Apogee products:

Duet 2
GiO
JAM
ONE
Symphony I/O"

LOL )

All works perfectly fine on my system. I was really suprised.

Saying that, I'm sure the RME boys are on the ball with Lion drivers, especially when Apogee have announced their compatibility on day one.

LOL Don't be silly. I got an email from them stating the above.

I love my babyface. But respect other brands also.

You did quote some devices for which there appear to be beta drivers, also according to the list. Other important devices, like Ensemble, will not be supported before September.

Not at all defensive. But considering the list of audio software that isn't Lion ready, what will you do with your "day one" drivers if you professionally rely on audio work? Nothing. So it's better to wait...

As I said, it was an Email that was sent to me by them, if you dont believe me, I really do not care. Want a screenshot? LOL

All I'm concerned about, is my Babyface working to its full potential under Lion. I'm not a professional, but I have spent the money on your product, just the same.

Even though mine seems to be working fine under Lion, I am going to ask once more and extremely politely and maybe I will get a more professional and polite response. When do you think you will have new drivers that fully support Lion.

I have also asked similar questions in the Apple forum regarding the response above from one of your staff/moderators in regards to the rate switching issues.

Thank you.

I give up.

done everything, reinstalled the driver, changed usb port, even on an second macbook the babyface still refuses to work. The only thing that happens is that the icons jumps up and down. But as stated above...this is not a problem for me. I can wait. :-)

Maybe you do not want help and advice, but there are many that do. That's what a forum like this is for, is it not!?!

I appreciate all the help within this thread, even the not so friendly ones. I also hope that the ones having issues get them sorted out soon.

I bought a Duet, realised it was not quite what I wanted and took it back for a refund, with the intention of buying the Duet 2. Then I saw the Babyface, and choose that over the Duet 2, due to is better specs. I'm glad I did, as its an awesome product. One I just want to get the best out of with my setup and now Lion.

So again, I look forward to future updates, for me and others that may wish to us Lion.

Have you tried reinstalling the latest driver?

Whagi, there will be updates, but it can not be top priority to updated drivers for a system that will currently not even run the most important DAW software programs... And developers do get holidays, too.

No problem mate. I fully understand. I just love your hardware, and I'm a little passionate about it, it just works with my setup and Logic Studio perfectly. I'm hoping to upgrade to one of your more studio rack based systems in the near future as I'm that impressed with the quality of the babyface. So I appreciate everything. Thanks.

Yep, it works great, only issue was like stated above when I change sample rates. Not a big issue. Logic Studio seems to work great.

Only big issues are not RME related at all, mainly my Novation SL MKII keyboard, and Automap, Automap just does not work at all LOL

I just will feel more secure once the Lion drivers are done and installed. Thanks.

That's just common sense! If my job and income depended on a stable system, I would have never upgraded. I'm not a "professional", at least not yet haha. There are plenty of hobby studios about

To many personal digs and nasty comments in this forum for my liking. You don't seem to be able to ask questions or get polite replies.

Thanks to all those that did reply and help on this one. Look forward to many more hours of enjoyment with my current and future RME products.
