I think he means when he manually puts it to sleep? (like during a long break or at the end of the day) For years now, macs have been designed with the intention that most users will just put their computer to sleep, rather than shutting off and rebooting every day. (Saves energy and the mac jumps to life at the touch of a key!)jimmymio said:It's my understanding that its always best to turn off the nap function when using any digital audio program.

It sleeps and wakes from sleep fine. It just doesn't fully power down the Firewire or USB busses.but I probably won't upgrade my UAD card when I get a Mac Pro if sleep issues persist. I'd miss those UA plugs for sure, but I'm not patient enough to reboot my computer half a dozen times or so every day!
It goes into deep sleep (no fans, power light pulses) but doesn't power down the busses? I would take out the card and double-check it's not a new problem or behavior with that machine first.It sleeps and wakes from sleep fine. It just doesn't fully power down the Firewire or USB busses.
The computer was sleeping just fine before I put the UAD-1e in. It's in deep sleep for sure, minus the power to the busses.It goes into deep sleep (no fans, power light pulses) but doesn't power down the busses?

I have two interfaces that are powered by the Firewire and USB busses respectively, a Focusrite Saffire and a Line6 TonePort. In sleep mode, the Focusrite goes into \"low power mode\" instead of full off, like it used to, and the TonePort stays lit up.What are you powering on those busses? Hard drives? Do the drives not have their own AC power? Doesn't the USB bus need some power so input devices can wake the machine from sleep, though?
Sounds like an Apple issue (which UA should report).noahstone said:I have two interfaces that are powered by the Firewire and USB busses respectively, a Focusrite Saffire and a Line6 TonePort.

No.Has this problem been resolved with the last Apple Intel Mac Pro firmware update or the OSX 10.4.8 update?
Do you mean disable the drivers for the UAD? I tried that and it didn't make a difference.As a resolution you could disenable them and put your Mac to sleep. On rewaking it just reenable them. A pain in the ass, I know but it saves you running it or reapplying settings.
I think I may have had some MIDI issues with waking from [not deep] sleep. I've had to restart to restore MIDI in Logic and Reason.I've never bothered sleeping my Mac. Even before I put in any UAD-1 hardware I always had problems if I left audio projects open and then allowed the Mac to sleep.
