Alesis have announced iO Mix 4-Channel Mixer/Recorder for iPad. In addition, the ADAT to use my m'intressait FIREPOD as eightfold prampli, adding later AI3 converter type.iPad Music Apps Blog Music app reviews, news and tutorials. The IO26 is looking strong and inspires confidence level. It failed me an equivalent, I t cooled by the fragility of connections (firewire at the top) of the Presonus. The purchase of a t IO26 is to replace one that made the Firepod me.
I could be either VIA or NEC or RICOH all of which can have compatibility problems. If it says something other than that then it is not a a TI chip set. Whether you are a customer or dealer, if you already own a Alesis product, or if you just have pre-sales questions, the Alesis technical support team is available to helpYou can see if you system uses a TI chip set by going to the device manager and look under "IEEE-1394 Bus Host Controllers".The sub heading will say "Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE-1394 Host Controller". The main promised benefit of the Alexis iO26 being speedy simultaneous audio and video recordings, the manufacturers have opted for Firewire technology.Pressing the second button for the second time sends a value of 0 for CC 14 over Channel 1.
Alesis Io26 Review Drivers Make It
I'm now considering a MOTU 828mkII USB2.0 - I know USB2.0 is fast enough to be able to do the work I want it to, and I know USB2.0 devices work fine with my laptop.At this point, because of the drivers, I don't recommend the Alesis IO26. Piss poor drivers make it a pain in the arse to use on my desktop, and because of the lack of a dedicated firewire interface on my laptop, I cannot use it for the mobility that I wanted.The mobile factor was the only reason I bought it. My onboard is a VIA, but if a PCI card would give me better performance, I may splash out.The alesis is going back. It does require a reg edit so you would want to be real careful.Thanks Chris! I think I may pick up one of those PCI cards you speak of.
I could've put up with this last one were it not for the lousy issue of lack of firewire on my laptop - that was the last straw, although admittedly this has no direct relevance to the Alesis. Dropouts in audio when surfing the net, when browsing my computer, and when moving around inside Reaper. Very sloppy implementation with non-asio programs (winamp, windows media player, etc.) and the direct monitoring program uses a shedload of CPU - not acceptable for professional recording.The firewire PCI card did not fix my issues.
Take advantage of a friend of a friend who works for apple. Pay the difference for the Tascam FW1804.Send back the laptop. The Alesis just stuttered along like a little biatch.Send back the Alesis IO26. So they told me, "get an expresscard and you can add a firewire input to the laptop". Ha! More fool me.The laptop I ordered did not have a firewire input.
The quality was the same as always, and we have a 1GB card. We had not set anything up wrong. 3 minutes later "card full". Set the levels and all that. The units are really finicky and a pain to use.Just two weeks ago we set it up, left it recording. (end next week I mean!)Well see my friend has a BR600, and we both hate it with a passion, so I'm not keen on buying anymore Boss products.Not saying this is definitely how it is for everyone, but how it is for us at least.
I can get the iMac 1.83ghz with 1gb of ddr2 667 ram, for £700.30 - this includes apples 3 years warranty.The advantage of this over the boss unit for me:I can record multiple tracks very easily, not having to go through menu after menu.I can see what I've recorded very clearly. An update on my own situation.Because I am a student, I qualify for the student pricing. This kind of gear shouldn't be hard to use.Well Mr. And if you turned the PC off, I'm pretty sure your recordings would survive (at the very least Ableton Live has a recovery feature)I know I'm whining, but it does affect the band, we were all really pissed off yesterday because of that one little mistake. When you close Reaper it asks you if you want to close. Now I know that was his fault, but when you press stop in Reaper, you can save everything or delete everything.
I am now using the FA-101 firewire audio interface that my son was previously using. It should have been fine, but it wasn't.It could be that you had a defective IO26.Also, firewire interfaces can be weird. It was really bad.With my desktop, I was using a texas instruments based PCI firewire card. I can take in recordings I've made, and show the band members, and they can learn parts I've written.I can record the whole 3 hour rehearsal session, keep the best bits, kill the dross.A lot of this I could probably do on the boss too, but with a tiny screen and menus within menus within menus - just not that appealing to me.At the end of the day, I prefer the advantages of a dedicated computer for audio than a Boss recording unit.Well with the laptop I was using a texas instruments based express card.
Exactly the opposite.But having spent many hours around the IO26, I know that your experience differs radically from ours. To get the FA-101 to work right with it, I must turn on the FA-101 before I start the PC. I have a cardbus firewire card that I use with my Dell laptop.
Also, several years of observing the behavior of audio applications convinced me that either the driver or the USB interface on my Dell were not very efficient, and presented a performance bottleneck.I've never found an information source that really discusses all of the factors related to firewire compatibility with audio applications coherently, but its pretty clear that there are sometimes buss contention issues, and sometimes conflicts with hard drive access. I was never able to fix the problem. Maybe it was the M-audio drivers, and not the use of USB per se, but for some reason during editing /mixing of songs, both N-track and Reaper would frequently lose communication with the interface. Before I switched to the FA-101, I was using an M-audio USB audiophile interface.
