The issue youre experiencing has to do with the USB encoding. The new Macbook USB ports are supposed to be backwards compatible, but most USB audio devices are having a rough time with it.

Theres been a “fix” for this for a little while now. Search for it and check out Native Instruments forum as well. It involves changing the kext files for the USB.

i had the same issue when i got my mac, heres what you need to do:

a) go to: [https://www.native-instruments.com](https://www.native-instruments.com)  
b) go to the drivers section  
c) get the newest mac driver under the s4 (it might still be called a beta drive)

that should get you sorted. i’d link you directly to the driver but for some reason their website isn’t loading for me right now
