I just purchased the new Retina Macbook Pro for my 'other job' in web design.
It's so fast I thought it would be great for my music projects too.
I'm having problems with audio dropouts though, not pops or clicks, just slience about once every minute or so. The laptop or slave computer are barley registering CPU load so it's not processing power.
So I wondered, is there something wrong with the implementaion of the Thunderbolt to Ethernet Adaptor when it comes to audio?
I've tested my setup with Logic 9 and Cubase 6 with the same results. My old iMac using a native Ethernet connection doesn’t' have the same problem, which leads me to believe it could be thunderbolt/the adaptor.
I've noticed a couple of posts with issues but has anyone done any more detailed research?
As a second question. I currently use a slave PC with VEP to process all of my sample libraries. Is using SSD's any better or worse (using VEP on the Mac) than a slave PC?
