Re: Sound Card Reviews

Being an EE, I feel there is a clock frequency mismatch between H2 and the codec on the MacBook. Yes that's possible, though I've not noticed any speed problems with my H2. If that's the case, then I would expect the problem to also occur if you record onto a flash card in the H2. This could be use...

Re: ACX Check fails in 2.4.1
