Fellow OS 10.6.8. users, are you crashing often?

My software's crashed probably 15 times in since I started acouple hours ago; I'm assuming updating to Mountain Lion will help stabilize it, just wondering if anyone else with 10.6.8 is crashing alot?

Had a couple of crashes, but not enough to be concerned about. Let me know how the Mountain Lion works, I'm kinda scared to move on right now.

ya know. I just tested it out on a different beat, and it worked.

Also.....are you trying to sample directly into the software via the Ren's physical audio I/O or are you trying to route audio from a software app into the Ren's software?


OS 10.6.8.

All I have is my Ren connected to my laptop through the USB, and my headphones in the Ren jack.

I'm trying to record audio playing from my iTunes directly into the Ren in order to chop and assign to pads.

Based on what you told me you have, the only way I can see for you to sample off of iTunes is to set you Mac system to play out of your lap top's built in audio outs. Then connect your lad top's audio outs into the Ren's audio inputs.

Or use Soundflower. It is a free app that routes audio from one app to another. I never used this but Maschine users have. This will be the no hassle solution.

Was working on 10.6.8 and having issues with crashing VST's. Also had issues with the
software not picking up the hardware and vice versa. (have to turn off MPC, restart software to get it to work)

Updated to Mountain Lion today, no difference in MPC software. However, the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion is nice, makes your display clear as hell .... but no difference in software functionality.

Has anyone tried using the Ren as a audio interface with a DAW yet? Recording audio through the sample in jacks? Does vintage mode effect the overall sound?

HOLD UP!!! With Ren being the audio interface you can't re-route Ren's main outputs within Ren software to sample directly :hmmm: I hope this will be added at some point... I've been doing this in ableton live while utilizing my 10yr old firewire interfaces no problem

Have you guys used Ren as an multi output plugin with the outs assigned
to auxs in Logic pro yet. And how easy is it to work with it in plugin form?
