VCI-100SE + Audio-4 + Intel Core i7 = ?
I couldn’t find any threads asking this question because the search function omits “i7” as it is only 2 characters, so I apologize if this is a repost.

Does this mean that the following setup will not work with my i7 iMac running Traktor Pro in OS-X 10.6.4?
Or will the Audio-4 solve the issue?
TYIA!
From the looks of that page it seems to be that only Traktor LE doesn’t work. I would assume that Duo and Pro have been updated to work with the core i line of processors. I’m not positive on this tho. Can anyone else clarify?
A guy in the buy sell thread had problems with his A&H Xone 1D’s also. It seems to have to do with the USB host controller in the Core i5/7 MacBook Pro’s. Since the VCI-100 doesn’t have MIDI-ports to connect to the Audio 4, the Audio 4 doesn’t solve this issue. I think the only option at the moment is wait for NI/Apple to come with a software update to fix this…
Thanks for your responses Tyler & Dennis, they were very helpful.
I wonder if the problem is isolated to MacBook’s or it stretches across all i-series CPU platforms (I saw someone else with a similar problem in a Sony i7 laptop running Windows on these forums).
I suppose it’s time to call Vestax and ask them…
