Just bought a Presonus Firestudio firewire interface for use with my Macbook (intel) and Logic Pro 6.4.3. The computer sees the interface and I see my signal in the control panel. Logic sees it insofar as the name firestudio appears as an optional driver in the audio hardware preference pane but I get no signal input into the program even after I've chosen the new driver. that was a run-on sentence, I know. sorry. anyway.. I can't figure it out. I don't want to update to 7, happy to wait for 8. So I really hope that doesn't have anything to do with it. 6.4.3 works fine on the macbook otherwise. Hope you can help. Thanks for reading. -Danny

Hi Danny, you should definitely update to Logic Pro 7.2.3! Logic Pro 6.4.3 is running in a not supported "emulation" mode(Rosetta) on any INTEL Mac. You will see a huge increase of performance by using a fully INTEL compatible version of Logic Pro! And of course your Presonus audio hardware will run fine too... Do yourself a big favour - update! Best, M.K.Beat

Hey Mr. Beat, Thanks for the reply. Only thing is, I'm not convinced that this update is the specific problem. Without confirmation I don't want to shell out the three hundred bucks for an update I don't want and which will be out of date pretty soon. I work equal time on 6 and 7 systems and move much faster on 6. When 8 coes out I'll snap it up to increase my performance but I have some things against updating to 7 right now. First and most important is the practical. 8 has to be coming out anyday right? What a waste of money to update twice in a short period of time. I assume that 8 will be optimized for intel macs and might even be capable of sample accurate editting in the arrange window which the only real upgrade I really desire. Pro 7 is sort of annoying to work on anyway I think. Secondly an I guess unimportantly is the emotional factor. At the time 7 came out I felt slighted by Apple. Logic Platinum 6, Logic Pro 6 and Logic Pro 7 Spit out in rapid fire. First I was told to keep my tech support I had to update to pro 6 which was an apple product (Apple sales and emagic/apple tech support neglected to tell me that there was a free link for that) then when 7 was released months later, they dropped my tech support when they dropped the emagic brand name altogether anyway. It was annoying to say the least. I just don't want to buy that product from them ever period. So... Can anybody say for sure if this version issue is my problem or not? I've also posted on the presonus forum but no responses yet. Thanks again Beats. D

All I can say is that several other people to my knowledge had output problems with different interfaces when trying to run Logic in Rosetta on an IntelMac. I have no definitive answer but I expect the fact that Apple say that 7.2 or higher is needed to run Logic on MacIntel machines is the biggest clue. All the best, Paul. Paul Crouch horselesspaul
