FW problem with Apogee Duet, Yamaha monitors, and external FW800 HD...

Recently purchased an Apogee Duet and Logic Express 8. Love it so far but there's a cracking noise coming out of the Yamaha monitors when I turn on the external HD via FW800. The Duet is connected via FW400.
It'll be nice to solve this issue. The digital/cracking noise is annoying. It's almost unworkable. Additionally, I use the external FW800 as my recording drive so it's crucial. I guess the FW bus is overloaded. Is an express/34 card the only option? If so, any recommendations.
Besides this, the Duet sounds awesome w/out the FW800 HD plugged in.
Thanks, mT.

I'm having the same issue -- lots of crackly digital noise coming through my studio monitors (but not through the headphones). The noise, I find, is particularly loud when the 48v is on. Is that the case with you? I initially discovered the issue while trying to record with an AKG C 451 B condenser. When the mic was getting phantom via the Duet, I was getting digital crackling. However, when I put a preamp between the condenser and the Duet (in this case a UA Solo/610) and had the preamp supply the 48v, the crackling was gone. So: is this an issue with the FW or an issue with the Duet's phantom power?
(I'm using the Duet with Logic Pro 8)

  • Infamous noise problems with Apogee Duet on 2013 Macbook Pro

    Hello everybody,
    I just wanted to report that my new Apogee Duet (for Mac/iPad) is making the infamous crackling / popping noises on my new 2013 15" Macbook Pro. What's important to note is that this machine has an SSD drive and NOT the fusion drive (which has been said to cause these noises with various audio interfaces). Through some research on this site some people have suggested that upgrading to the new beta version of OS X 10.9.2 fixes these problems. I also heard that changing the sample rate to 96Hz in Maestro 2 helps. I will try each of these solutions and report later on.
    This is a serious problem which has rendered GarageBand to be more like GarbageBand.

    Hello rahnfromny. <edited by host> There is now a possible solution to your issue.

  • Problems with HP Pavillion 23xi Monitor and MBP (early 2011)

    Hi all,
    I'm having some strange issues regarding the connection between my new HP Pavillion 23xi and my Macbook Pro 13'' (early 2011, with Yosemite installed). I'm connecting these to through a Minidisplay Port (Thunderbolt) to HDMI adapter and of course, an HDMI cable. When all the connections are set up, and the resolution is 1080p (as the Mac's Monitor preferences say), the monitor is all black, and sometimes the immages appear for just a second; when I "downsize" (from the Mac) the resolution to 720p the monitor works well, although I cannot see all the desktop (seems like the image is cropped) and, of course, the image is not in full HD.
    So, because of this, I'm excluding a cable/adapter problem, otherwise I think the monitor wouldn't work neither in 720p, but I cannot figure out why it doesn't work in 1080p.
    Hope I'll get some answers
    Best regards,

    Hello @Giusepperot,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! 
    I have read your post on how your HP monitor is having problems connecting to your MacBook Pro, and I would be happy to guide you towards a resolution!
    According to this document on using HP Monitors on a Mac: 
    "HP monitors are not supported in a Mac environment. However, newer Macs use graphics with VESA modes and can display to most HP LCD monitors. To do this, connect the monitor to the Mac while the Mac is off, and then turn on the MAC. The monitor should operate at 60Hz. The INF and software for the HP monitor are for Microsoft Windows and cannot be run in a standard MAC OS environment."
    I hope this helps!

  • Problems with two new LCD monitors and my G5 Power Mac

    I bought two of these Westinghouse Digital LCD monitors:
    http://www.macaddict.com/issues/2005/11/reviews/lcm
    When I plugged in the first one, my Mac's power-on light was on, but the Power Mac G5 (1.6 ghz, 1.25 gb RAM) wouldn't boot and the light wouldn't go off. No problems once I unplugged the first LCD monitor. I plugged it into the second one and the Mac turned on once it was plugged in, but at least I had an image. But the computer was frozen; I unplugged and re-plugged it into the first LCD and had an image, but again, it was frozen.
    Any ideas why this is happening? I'm going VGA into the DVI via Apple's adaptor.
    Help and thanks,
    Heath McKnight
    Power Mac G5 1.6 ghz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   Single processor, 1.25 gb RAM, 80 gb hard drive

    Okay, well this is interesting. If I take the brightness down too much, I see "ghosting" on EVERYTHING, including text. Also, when I shut down the Mac with monitor 2 plugged in, the one that when I plug in the LCD it turns the Mac on, it restarts the computer. I did this twice to insure I wasn't just hitting restart by accident. I'm calling tech support Monday (Westinghouse) and I think I'm taking these "good on paper" 16x9 LCDs back to Best Buy for a full refund. Then, I'll buy something different. I'm bummed out...

    I'm experiencing a similar problem with an LG Flatron monitor which my MBP no longer recognizes.  I've tried installing all the updates listed above but have not been succesful. Everytime I get a message saying that this software is not supported on my system. Can anyone tell me why I can't install the updates?

    Hello Philly,
    I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?)  touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
    I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
    ~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information

  • I have a problem with dust on the monitor (iMac 27).

    I have a problem with dust on the monitor (iMac 27). it appeared after half a year of use (in a clean room is not dusty). Replaced by a matrix of times under warranty. But after a while, again, there were shortcomings in the upper corners of the matrix. The guarantee is no longer valid. Am I entitled to free replacement of the matrix or the display?

    Re: I have a 27" iMac that has developed smudges at top left and right of the screen.  Of course it has just gone out of warranty. Anyone had a similar problem or found a solution?

  • To those with APOGEE DUET.  Why not use S/PDIF?

    I am interested in the best quality recording. My mac pro has S/PDIF which I thought would be ok to use. Is the Apogee Duet better? And why? Or is the S/PDIF as good?
    I always thought people got the apogee, because they didn't have any good audio connection like s/pdif

    If you're only going to record the Korg, then s/pdif should be fine.
    However, if you want to record anything without a digital output (voice, guitars, sleigh bells...etc) you would need to have a front end mixer with digital output otehrwise you would end up using the Mac's analog in which is cr@ppy by any standard. Here is where the Duet comes in, the Mic preamps on the Duet are high end, to purchase a Mixer with a set of mic preamps as good as the Duet's would set you back far more than the cost of the duet, plus the Duet has high impedance inputs for guitar/bass.
    Audio interfaces, including the Duet have their purpose, otherwise 90% of the people in this forum wouldn't laying out money for them.

    I m having problems with both my iphone 3gs and 4 when my cellular data is on and my battery is fully charge but out of suddenn it will shut off can i know how can i troubleshoot this issue thanks

    simply try doing a back up and restore
    when going thru the activation screen, select SET UP AS NEW and then test your device. if it is not shutting down then it could be 1 or more apps tht have been downloaded wch could be affecting the device
    you will then need to follow the process of eleimnation, meaning add 2 apps and then monitor your phone, if nothing happes then add another couple of them and then check
    good luck !!

    Problems with creation of catalogue XPGrpwise and temporary files.
    I use GroupWise 8.01 and WinXP (SP2), OpenOffice 3.1.
    Why at opening files in Library, temporary files are not created in catalogue C:\Documents and Settings\Jon Smith\Local Settings\Temp\XPGrpwise, and created in catalogue C:\Documents and Settings\Jon Smith\My Documents. That causes problems. How to change a situation that worked as it is necessary.
