Topic: processors problems with MacOs 10.7, Rme fireface 800 and Cubase 6.03

Hello,

since I upgraded to MAC OS 10.7 LION (and I know I was a making a big mistake !:) ), my Macbookpro is totally driving me crazy…

Under Cubase, the processors peaks off completely and randomly even with light sessions.
Which makes the audio saturate and to end up with no sound out anymore --- it also does it when I want to play a basic audio track from the "import audio" window.

After restarting a few times, I manage to work for 30 min at the best until it does it again --- only restarting the computer (many times) seems to give it some air.

When I read music though iTunes or Quictime, there is no problem.
I can also export the mix from Cubase and the mix sounds good.
It does it with the internal sound card and the 2 Rme sound cards I have -  it gets even worse if "digicheck" is opened --- sometimes "rme softs" doesn t want to open, they just keep jumping like frogs in the dock !!

My configuration is :

Macbookpro 2011 i7 - 2,2ghz, 8mb ram
Mac OS 10.7
Cubase 6.03
Rme Fireface 800 and Babyface (all drivers up to date)

Anyone could help me out because I am seriously depressed !

Thanx a lot in advance

Ben

DIGICHECK completely makes my MAC out of control --- the fireface works now most of the time but the BABYFACe doesnt --- when I plug it in, the RME Icon keeps jumping in the DOCK --- so bad !??

The jumping icon thing seems to be a general issue/Lion change that needs to work on. I know at least one other software (non audio) that suffers from this and needs a workaround.
