I hope they'll fix the never ending problems, but i'm not holding my breath... also not crazy about dealing with xp SP2's firewire issues now...
 
I've tried the latest drivers for my MultiMix 12 FireWire, the control panel looks better, but I ended up going back to an older one with which I get lower latency. So personally I don't think the new driver is better. My issue was never with the driver anyway, it was with my FireWire chipset.
 
What chipset are you running? My firewire is the TI (texas instruments) chipset, and all i've had is drop outs and stutters lately... And I use reaper which i'm sure is low overhead, resource wise.

Which version of the alesis driver do you consider to be stable with your set up?

If I had money I would ditch this piece shit tomorrow... I've fought with this thing for 3 years now...
 
upgraded...

Well, I thought I would let people know, that at least for my setup, they seem to work great! I'm reserving judgement completely, but I haven't had them stutter or chop at all, running 8-14 tracks simultaneously without a hiccup yet.

I also downgraded the sp2 firewire drivers to the unfucked up sp1 driver. via this wonderful site if anyone's interested: http://www.xpfree.org/firewire_reversion_details.htm

yea! (for now)
 
I tried the new drivers with my Mastercontrol, but had problems. I couldn't change the sampling rate. It would just default to 48kHZ so I went back to the old drivers(3335) and it works fine again.
