Trouble is that people buy this particular unit for all the advertised capabilities it is supposed to offer. Yep, the bundled DAW 'Artist' is very limited, and doesn't support the use of plugins. Open the box and take it out, throw away the CD that came with it, don't visit their website to get the latest driver, plug it in, turn it on, and open your own favorite DAW. actually, it's the only way to make it work (on a Mac anyway). Thing is, The 1818vsl does work without drivers. It's not as easy to create monitor mixes in Logic as it is in VSL, but it seems it's one way to get this box to come close to its advertised capabilities.įrom their forum, users of the regular AudioBox USB who wanted to upgrade seeing how their old unit was nice and reliable, got a bit shocked at finding pretty much the same thing as me. Next step is to use Core Audio, Logic and some remote app like TouchOSC while setting samples at a low 64 to see if it's possible.

Using Mac's own drivers can record without pops and clicks. just check some online recordings on SoundCloud to get an idea. as stated by many more.Įither 10.6 or 10.8, using Presonus' drivers bring clicks and pops. not 2048.įor kicks, I tried Audacity, which uses the Mac Core Audio drivers. And I didn't buy this box so I could record at 2048. not usable for a live situation, nor monitoring. it's back to pops and clicks city! The only way to get rid of them is to move up to 2048 samples. Installed S1, as soon as I arm and monitor a track. Alright, moving on.Ĭreated an ad-hoc network and fired up the 1818VSL remote app.

Figured I'll get the oldest supported OS and it should be fine, right?Ī fresh install of 10.6. We'd love to hear what you have produced with Reaper, but please post it in the weekly sticky.Well, while waiting (and guessing from other posts in that forum, I might have to do that for a while.) to hear from support, I scavenged around some stuff and found a spare hd and proceeded to install 10.6 Snow Leopard.
