Topic: OS X Lion (10.7) driver for UC, UFX and Babyface

We have re-designed the internal driver architecture to work around some performance problems under Lion (we no longer wanted to wait for Apple to release the announced fix). If you want to try here is the download link:

Edit: Link removed as driver has been released already.

The package includes Totalix 0.95pre3, so you get the latest stuff with it.

Thanks for any feedback!

Is it as we say in sweden a "fulhack"?

Re: OS X Lion (10.7) driver for UC, UFX and Babyface

What is re-worked? what is improved?

At last!
Tested with OS X Lion (10.7.1)
Flawless playback.
Flawless recording with Ableton Live. About to test Pro Tools now.
This driver appears to be the solution for (unfortunate) Lion possessors, like me.

Second honeymoon with this beautiful Fireface.
Huge thanks to Matthias and RME!

Re: OS X Lion (10.7) driver for UC, UFX and Babyface

Matthias!

It seems this driver resets to 44.1khz during each boot. Wasn't like that earlier.
I have to enter the RME Fireface settings to set it to 96khz everytime.

Comments?

Best wishes,

Re: OS X Lion (10.7) driver for UC, UFX and Babyface

Mine always reset to 44.1khz even on the older drivers.

Would be interesting to hear what has been done in these drivers to help them work on Lion correctly though.

Thanks a lot, it works. I used it with macbookPro for quite sometimes and then I bought a MacbookAir with lion and try to refresh the driver page very often and it not yet updated (till now). Finally I found this in the forum.

Re: OS X Lion (10.7) driver for UC, UFX and Babyface

The Download link no longer works, will this work with Lion 10.7.2 and Fireface 800 ?

Re: OS X Lion (10.7) driver for UC, UFX and Babyface

This is a USB driver.

Re: OS X Lion (10.7) driver for UC, UFX and Babyface

This driver seems to be very much better than the previous.  :-)

Re: OS X Lion (10.7) driver for UC, UFX and Babyface

I am on OS X 10.7 Lion/Logic 9.1.5/RME drivers 1.6.1/FirefaceUC/Firmware 115.
Today there was an exploding noise and Total mix mixer showed red clips on all channels, then tere was the digital noise.
Restarting fixed the problem but I am afraid if it will happen again.
I do not want to have any hearing loss.
What could be the reason?
Anybody else have experienced this?

Ah, there's logic for ya. Don't think it's rme's fault. Happens here once every 3 months.

As usual Pål is right :-)

The new driver 1.62 has a fix for that, which was missing in USB but already present in the FireWire driver.
