Unit everything I wanted except for a few things

by David Goldflies from Panama City Beach, Florida
September 12, 2011
Music Background: Performer, writer, electronic musician
I was excited to receive the Duo Flexi. Installation work in spite of it not being particularly intuitive. I use it with a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 firewire audio interface and a macbook pro. All was ... read more [+]well with virtually no problems until I upgraded to Lion. Fortunately UA released an update that allows me to use the unit again. However when I daisy chain the Focusrite I get errors that disable the plugins on the Duo Flexi. I can work around it by using the Macbooks internal sound card for monitoring for mixing. I have updated the Saffire drivers, the Dou Flexi drivers and the DAW version (ableton 2.5.6). So who do I turn to now to get the system back to using the Saffire?

The unit sounds great. The Lexicon 224 is just beautiful. And their support has been very responsive and concerned throughout the dismal Lion upgrade event (Thanks Dan!).

Would I recommend it? Yes. I can see long term value in having a cadre of high quality vintage effects to work with at mix down.

Oh, I also had to set my buffer to 1024 samples. This introduces quite a bit of latency into the system when tracking... so this is really a mixing device. close [-]
