Hmmm... I was thinking there may be something in Leopard that's causing the problem.

The BCF is connected by USB directly to one of the Mac's USB ports (i.e. not via a USB hub). I'll try a different cable/port combination too.

Thanks for the tips!

Sorted!... PT 7.4 definately doesn't appear to have a baby mackie hui driver.

I played around with PT... in peripherals, I changed the synchronisation tab to BCF and hey presto! Works perfectly.

Thanks for your help on this

Nice one! Thought it sounded like a talking issue between Pro Tools and the BCF! Enjoy it, its a bit noisy but will speed up your work flow no end. It has troubles keeping up in touch mode so I always use latch, but it does just what I need it to. The two buttons underneath the pan represent solo and mute, and the keys bottom right of the unit are your transport controls. i put some stickers on there so I know whats what.

Glad you got it sorted.

Will do... even using it for a couple of hours last night I could see that it was (in the end) a good investment. I've figured out how to use the faders, transport, mute/solo and shift to the next bank of faders.

From what I've read, it won't control the plug-ins, but that's to be expected for £120. I might invest in one of those mouse controls with toggles/jog wheel ($100 from the US) and I'll have control for everything for less than £200. Certainly seems good value relative to a Command 8 or Mackie.

Now I just need to figure out how to get a great sound for recording my accoustic drums.

It never ends...

No it won't control the plug ins - think only digi hardware will do that but I may be wrong.... whats this mouse?

There's few different ones on the market - some are designed for video editing, but some are also for specific audio/DAW type applications. Here's a link to an example, but a google on "mouse jog wheel" will bring up lots of options. Some of these also have pre-programmable buttons, so can be quite useful. A friend of min uses this one & swears by it
