Hi All,
After hearing from Mackie tech support that T2 is working fine for them with Mac OS Tiger (10.4.1), I went ahead and updated my machine. Indeed, contrary to my earlier testing on 10.4.0, things in 10.4.1 are working quite a bit more smoothly than they were in 10.4.0, but I'm still having a major playback problem:
T2 seems to think that all of my disks, even the built-in disk on my PowerBook are networked disks. Every time I open a project, or even with audio recorded in a brand new project on my boot disk, I get the "Preparing to play compressed or networked files..." dialog. Even for small projects, this can take quite a long time, and I'm in the habit of recording 16-tracks for 3-4 hours at a time at live gigs.
With bigger projects, I will likely simply run out of disk space on my main drive, and not be able to open the project at all. THIS IS REALLY BAD!
Has anyone seen this problem? Any ideas about how to fix it? Is this a Mac-only bug or does it affect Windows as well?
How does Tracktion decide that a file is on a networked drive anyway?
HELP!!!

Mac only... There was a problem with this in 10.3.9 when T2 was first released, some people reported it... Don't remember how it was resolved though, or if it was... I didn't have the problem myself. I'm still on 10.3.9

Yeah, this is a known issue, been around awhile. I'm running T2 on a PBook with 10.4.1 and I see the "networked" drive thing all the time (every time in fact). Having said that I use T2 almost every day and while this is annoying for sure it's not a showstopper in my case of recording my live band usually < 16trks. Hoping the fix is soon though!!
