i'm having problems recording 16 tracks simultaneously...
first the set-up: mac 1.5 ghz g4 powerbook with 1.25 gb ram, running both a presonus firepod and edirol fa-101 under an "aggregate device" in mac os x. recording is going via firewire to a glyph 80gb 7200 rpm hard drive using cubase sx2.
now the problem: as the location bar progresses in real time, the audio itself gets "jumpy" and falls behind, resulting in the tracks all being different lengths with sections of audio missing at certain points. i'm recording at 44.1 with a very high buffer setting... and for the sake of troubleshooting, i dropped the bit rate down to 16, finding the same problem.
what i'm thinking: i've had similar problems before recording to the laptop's internal 5400 rpm drive which is making me think that one hard drive is two slow to record 16 tracks at once, meaning i should raid two external drives together. however, i was also told it may be the fact that i'm aggregating two different devices together.
anyone have any thoughts on the matter?
