Performance Problem?

Cubase
1

Hello,
First of all, these is my first post in steinberg forum. I’ve searched for information about my problem on the forum but i haven’t get any, even i don’t find information at the knowledge Base, so i open these new topic.
I’ve recently bought a Macbook Pro, the new one from feb 2011, i7 2,2 with the AMD Raedon HD 6470M 1024 Mb. 4Gb RAM in Main Board and a 500 Gb HDD 7200 RPM. It’s been actualized to OS X 10.6.7 and Cubase to 5.5.3 Build 651.
But if i import sound from a CD (44.1 16bit 4 minutes p.e.) Cubase Shows performance problems to play it?
I mean the CPU perfomance bar its low but it’s almost all time clipping, and scratches are heared. I use the Built-In Audio Card, but well i think that souldn’t be the problem isn’t it?
I think i miss something!
How i have to configure the system? Its really neccesary configure anything with the performance of these computer?
Any help should be wellcome
Thanks!
Mikel

Edited:
Humm… It seems with the MOTU, don’t have that problem (as i spect of course) but with my powerbook and cubase 4.5 i can do that things with the buit-in card without problem.

You might have an improvement if you download a different ASIO driver. I googled for “free ASIO driver osx” and saw plenty of choices. I don’t use a MAC so I don’t know if that will fix it but it seems like a good place to start.
Hope this Helps.

Thought sure from the title this was going to be a Viagra ad. :mrgreen:
