Hi all,
I'm trying to get my newly purchased Powercore 6000 running properly on my system. I have yet to register it as I am waiting on the seller to sort out a few account issues, I don't think this would impact the below but it may??
Anyway, I have been reading through the forum over the last few days but I think I may be confusing myself as I've read multiple threads with multiple suggestions so I thought it was about time to ask if I have missed anything obvious?
My system specs should show up in my signature below (this is my first post), if they dont I'll post them immediately after this goes live. (
As suggested above I suspect this may very well be down to my own nooby ignorance (and if so apologies) but I will document what I have done/tried so far and then list the current issues below that just in case any of it is relevant:
I first installed the latest officially supported software 4.3.3.
Then I connected the 6000 to my 2009 Mac Pro following the specific suggested order in the manual.
I then tried it and ran into a fair amount of buggyness (see below)
Since then I have also tried various later versions of the software found here posted by Hagen finally arriving at the current 4.5.0b64 version.
I have also ran the kext procedure for El Capitan, not entirely if that was necessary (or wise) for Mavericks but I thought I'd give it a go first before posting here.
Reset from the control panel along the way
On a previously rock solid system the Powercore seems to have introduced some significant instability to my system and the specifics (that I can remember and that may or may not be relevant) are:
Logic Pro X generally reacting much slower to many previously fine actions
Logic Host CPU increasing on addition of each Powercore Plugin (buffer Multiplier Options used)
GUI bugs, when the plugin is moved around the screen the actual plugin GUI lags the Audio Unit frame it is housed in. Actually separating and coming back together a split second later. Also the Audio Unit frames of background TC plugins disappear on launch of additional TC plugins
General plugin response weirdness
DSP's loading in the order 5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4
Audio dropouts that only resolve on stopping and starting playback. (EDIT: Please ignore this line as it was a simply midi issue that's now resolved).
I'm sure there are a few others, but I'd like to hear from those in the know before I start tinkering with my previously stable system.
Thanks in advance.
