![]() I replaced the internal disk with the fastest one I could find that would fit (it was like 80 bucks) and I got a big USB 1.5TB fast external. I used to occasionally get disk-to-slow errors when recording more than I'd say 8 tracks, or sometimes playing back a lot of tracks, generally higher than that. My computer has never kernel panicked at all, and I have had it since early '08. So, I'm not sure what to do - will Firewire always suck this much? Should I get a USB-based interface and sacrifice some quality for a more stable interface? Should I use a standalone unit like a TASCAM deal, even though that seems like 90s tech to me, and I'm not sure if it'll import into GarageBand / Logic / REAPER / whatever I'm using at the time? posted by tmcw to Media & Arts (8 answers total) 2 users marked this as a favoriteīest answer: FWIW, I have a MOTU 828mkII that I paid about $125 for, it's plugged into my MBP via Firewire, and I use it every single day (I'm using it now), all the time, and it has never kernel panicked. ![]() All updates installed, nothing crazy going on in my system which would affect Firewire. Note that the rest of my setup is Snow Leopard & GarageBand '09. This is somewhat minor, but I get 'disk too slow' or 'not enough buffer' errors when trying to remix songs I've recorded elsewhere, which have 6-20 tracks simultaneously.
