Capture 1.1 for Presonus Studiolive

kennedydream1980

Has anyone out there got a copy of Presonus Capture 1.1 for Mac.
I've just got hold of an older Macbook for the sole purpose of recording from my Studiolive mixer, the Macbook came with Snow Leopard installed, the newer version of capture is not compatible with Snow Leopard, and Capture 1.1 is no longer available as a download on the Presonus website. 

So if anyone out there has their original Capture 1.1 install disc, or can point me in the direction of where to download it, it would be very much appreciated.

Upgrade to something other than Snow Leopard.

What Studiolive desk do you have ? I use Reaper with our 16:4:2 

@robinbowes  some older Macbooks can go no further than Snow Lep, maybe that's why

@Danny1969 I can't find any specific information, but I believe it would have to be a bloody old Mac that can only run Snow Leopard.

Ah, here we go:

"Snow Leopard is the last release of Mac OS X to support the 32-bit Intel Core Solo and Intel Core Duo CPUs."

So, if you've got a 64-bit CPU, you should upgrade, @kennedydream1980 ;

The MacBook came with Snow Leopard installed. I could easily upgrade the OS to Lion, but it's going to cost me £19.99 to buy the install disc from Apple. Just thought it would be worth asking if anyone had the Capture disc or knew where to download it.

@Danny1969 my desk is the 16:4:2, I've never used Reaper, is it easy to use?

I believe you can upgrade directly from the App Store for free.

Yeah piece of cake ..... I've actually got the disk what you want somewhere but having a hernia op tomorrow so won't be up and about till next week

That's fine Danny, I'm not really in a rush for it, so could you send me it when you are back to full fitness?

@Danny1969 I no longer require the Capture disk. I've bit the bullet and purchased Lion from the apple store. It only cost me £19.99 which I can offset as a 'band purchase' as it's for the sole purpose of recording live shows, so I'll get my money back :-)

No worries ... if you don't get on with Capture try Reaper, just download the UC driver, make 16 tracks and arm em. You can use in evaluation mode for as long as you like .... I've been evaluating mine for about 12 years

You can also use Reaper to add effects like reverb, delay, distortion etc by bussing the armed tracks in reaper to an effect and then returning that to a channel on the Studiolive set to firewire input. Great for special effects
