Excellent, thanks.

That's a firewire interface. The MicroBook is one of the first USB-only interfaces MOTU has tried. There are issues.

Nope, Finder. Some amount of the time it doesn't complete, finds no answer. I'll have to look at it again, haven't been in SMAART for a while.

That's not what I was hoping to hear, but thank you.

Oh, wait, does Lake LM26 mean that the old Clair IO/ Lake Contour works with SMAART7? Those can be had pretty reasonably.

So, Lake and Apex, and nobody else you can talk about? Can't afford those.
I wish Xilica would get on it. Their hardware's solid, but their control software is awful.

Is there a list of SMAART 5...

Are there any system controllers yet that take advantage of the SMAART 7 control API, or any companies that you know are working on it?

What sort of things can cause Delay Finder to not function? Some amount of the time, it won't land, and the Live IR is just waveform. Transfer function generally makes sense most of the time anyway....

I am trying to determine the dispersion and the pattern control bandwidth of a square horn made by an unknown manufacturer, and I'm looking for pointers as to how to proceed. I thought I'd put it on...

Nice.

Excellent question. Nope, sounds fine. Also, listening to pink from the internal card makes it clear that pink playback through the microbook is definitely messed up.

My end result is always 44.1k. My playback sources are all 44k. A 9% increase in sample rate is, for me, effectively none, and is certainly not worth sample rate converting every single file going in...

Just the same, it works fine with every single other program I have tried.

This Microbook II is the only device out of 5 I've owned, including other MOTU interfaces, that doesn't come up with the last settings used. In fact, even it does, except for the sample rate. That's...

I do most of my testing with music files played through the generator. All of my files are 44.1.
Also, 90% of my live work is done on Yamaha digital consoles. I frequently interface with them via...

Well, there's one part of the puzzle. The MicroBook II boots up in 48k. I run SMAART in 44K. If I open up the OSX Audio MIDI Setup and switch the Microbook to 44k before starting SMAART, it works. If...

Seems like this should be a really ideal interface for SMAART. Smaller than a USBPre, has 4 analog inputs, internal loopback, digitally controllable gains, built like a tank, and costs under $250....

Will Smaart make use of a quad core, or should I be looking for a faster dual?

ASIO4ALL pretty much gets there!
Internal generator playing a WAV, 2 transfer functions running, good coherence and reasonable traces on both. I can work with this.

Oh, right, ASIO4ALL should do that. Oh look, there's a new beta out!

Your gear/CPU page could use some updating.

It refers repeatedly...

Pseudorandom helped, thanks, but not nearly enough.

V5 rocks on this machine, runs at 30% CPU instead of 80+. It also feeds VNC, since it's not OpenGL. V7 only feeds VNC if I turn off all video...

I think the actual answer is probably just to kick back to V5 until I get around to upgrading my laptop.

I'm not sure I've ever seen an interface driver that had buffer settings. Sound Devices doesn't provide a control panel. On the Mac, they don't even provide a driver. All of the DAW programs I use...

So it finally occurred to me to use the onboard generator's WAV ability. Unfortunately, my laptop is slowish. Playback is fine, but when I start the transfer function, the audio stutters. Classic...

Low overhead playback software on Windows with stable ASIO drivers is a rare beastie.
