Imho, RME's FPGA architecture is likely the only viable way to get reliable audio performance form newer computers/OS. I don't think many users appreciate the monumental technical challenges of developing efficient hardware drivers that work reliably at low latency on bloatware filled computers running the latest Apple and Microsoft operating systems. Orwellian US technology companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple are solely the reason the EU enacted GDPR laws. I was shown a firewall log of outbound IP traffic from uld not believe the insane level of analytics and user telemetry data being sent back to Apple and other US technology companies with little ability to control it. Our corporate version of Windows 10 has all of the spyware and telemetry stripped out. From 2011/Snow Leopard to present this is a 600% increase in default running processes on OSX.Įffective Jan-1-2019, my corporate IT dept banned the use of employee Apple (IOS and OSX) and Android devices on the company network due to security concerns and GDPR compliance (we have European locations). My techs have been griping about this trend for years, now I know why. My newer MacBook Pro with 16gb ram running a fresh install of High-Sierra is 218 Processes and 913 threads, ilok not installed, no apps running, just the desktop. The computer is an old beast running a truck load of Digi/Avid hardware/kexts/software, and here is a screen grab of Activity Monitor:ģ5 processes and 257 threads, 60 threads of which is the Ilok driver, no apps running, just the desktop. I have a 12-core Mac-Pro 5,1 for legacy Pro-Tools TDM sessions that still runs Snow Leopard. I am too busy to spend much time on discussion forum's, but, I registered an account just to post a response to the issues identified on this thread. What an exceptional piece of kit your Digiface products are, and we no longer use the buggy Audinate pcie cards. A combination of poor drivers and the disturbing direction the OSX operating system is heading. Since we transitioned the studio to Dante a couple of years ago, we have been plagued by glitches, clock problems, and instability using the Audinate pcie Dante cards. Matthias, I am a relatively new user of RME products having recently purchased several Digiface-Dante interfaces.
