Hi,
We have a pretty urgent problem. We try to copy 400+ DAT tapes with 32 kHz/ 16 bit radio recordings to the hard drive. We are using:
Mac Mini 2014, 3Ghz, 16 GB Ram, 256 GB SSD, Yosemite.
Tascam US-144 MK II, last firmware and drivers
Audacity
Sony Dat 55 ES
Our problem:
For the first 120 DATs everything seemed to run fine, then suddenly we realized that the time of the Audacity recording and the time on the Sony don't match. We listened to the recording and found that every second or so Audacity skipped a good part of the incoming signal. As a result we got a lot of short segments following each other, playing it sounds like fast forward of a CD. The record is in extrem cases only 20 min long, whereas the original tape had 2 h.
The problem persists and returns unpredictably. Sometimes only after 12 h of successful recording.
We did run some additional programs in the background, like DB-browser for sqlite. We also were connected to wifi. We prevented Spotlight from searching on the (external) project hard drive. We disabled iCloud. The temporal data of Audacity is saved on the internal SSD. We run time machine in the background.
We use TeamViewer to work together on this project, but during recordings it is not connected.
I tested how much CPU and RAM is used over all, it doesn't seem to be the problem. The Tascam US-144 and the keyboard are the only two things connected to USB ports.
If anybody has an idea or advice, it would be terribly helpful.
I found a couple of USB related entries in the log-files close to times where the problems occured. I hope this might help.
Thank you,
Gunther
