Onyx = Mac maintenance.

Dude I would still do a reinstall of the software. Just to check it off the list. Sometimes computers are funny that way.

There's been folks with tons of issues, they reinstalled and everything was fine.

I don't know what it is, but I have similar Macbook and the only time I had issues was when recording and having 4 samples going + effects. It hasn't happened again. A few things I would do.

1. Re-Install S4 software
2. Get Onyx and run it thru your Macbook. Make your start up volume is good, reset PRAM, etc.
3. Set autogain + limiter and DB at -8
4. Latency set to 512
5. Turn everything off. Wifi, bluetooth etc.
6. Plug into the port furthest from the screen with a good cable!!
7. Make sure the S4 and the Laptop are plugged in

If I did all of this and still had issues, I'd open up a ticket and start dissecting one piece at a time.

@ karlos

... the master gain is set to -15 you can hear me reducing the channel gain at the beginning, the blue led row is in the middle

what the f**k is it ?

Didn't believe of that. I bet you're right.

I bet its clipping.
Adding Delay and reverb ramps up the output a lot.

What are your output levels like..?
Master Volume in the software should be -2.5 to -8 to prevent clipping outright.
Sagi Ohayon

ok, i record it later...

Might help if you can record the sound so we can hear it.
