Hey people, I'm returning to digital recording after a hiatus.Just got an Early 2011 MBP, running OSX 10.6.8. I just installed Logic 9 for the first time & am hoping to avoid the dreaded hardware incompatibility issues that may come up. I plan to use my old trusty Alesis io26 (which worked fine in L8 on 10.4.11). I'm aware there have been issues with this interface, & would like some advice on which Logic 9 update version has been most compatible with this configuration? And which Alesis driver would you suggest to go along with it?
From what I've been reading, it seems 10.6.3 drivers should work with 10.6.8.or should I try using drivers for the Multimix? Also, do I need to tell Logic 9 to run in 32-bit? If there's anyone out there using this box successfully, I would really appreciate some feedback about which combinations have worked out the best for you. I'd be grateful for any tips.trying to be proactive here!
Well, the interface is plugged into the computer, & its 2nd firewire port is connected to a firewire drive, which shows up on the desktop. However, nothing on the Macbook sees the Alesis at all. Tried Logic Audio prefs, System Prefs/Sound, & AudioMidi setup. It just doesn't show up at all. I've installed driver 3.5.6. Tried to install firmware update but it quit every time. OK, maybe I should go back & install the earlier 3.5.3.8671 driver-& maybe this sounds dumb, but how do I uninstall the 3.5.6 driver?
I don't even know where it lives. Well, the interface is plugged into the computer, & its 2nd firewire port is connected to a firewire drive, which shows up on the desktop. However, nothing on the Macbook sees the Alesis at all.

Sorry to hear it's not working. There's an unistaller script that right next to the installer package once you m ount the.dmg file. These are the content of the installer package (showing where they end up).

Jordito, I don't see the uninstaller in the dmg. My husband checked console (he is a software developer) & we got lots of bus errors. Here is what we found: 7/24/12 3:18:50 PMcom.apple.launchd.peruser.50197(0x0-0x26026.com.Alesis.FwUpdate749) Job appears to have crashed: Bus error 7/24/12 3:19:00 PMcom.apple.launchd.peruser.50197(0x0-0x29029.com.Alesis.FwUpdate758) Job appears to have crashed: Bus error 7/24/12 3:19:00 PMReportCrash754Saved crash report for Alesis iO Firmware Update758 version???
