Bigbro's foray into the scary world of blogging
Through the power of uninstalling the driver for the M-Audio Firewire 410, I appear to have hade my Edirol FA-101 work again. The OS X MIDI subsystem now no longer appears to crash for no reason - this is good. While I've been generally impressed with the quality of the Firewire 410 hardware, I have been stunned at how damaging its driver is. It literally crashes the entire CoreAudio MIDI subsystem. Impressively bad! You might want to fix that one M-Audio.
Róisín just arrived home from School so there's lots of background noise, including the TV - but this was just a test to see if I could record a couple of tracks and overdub with the FA-101 - It's all looking good to go (at last.)
Stan and I plan to do some recording tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes.
P.S. For the record (and in case it's not blatantly obvious) I am not a mandolin player.
