Focusrite Forte USB audio interface - SOLD (on the bay of badness) £130 Great Yarmouth

[carlsim]

Focusrite Forte USB sound device. 2 in 4 out with breakout cable. Can run on USB power or with psu (included) if you want phantom power. Immaculate and boxed with accessories as new. 

Only selling due to a lack of compatibility with my motherboard on my pc. Solid as a rock with my MacBook but all my DAW work is on my pc now so I need a working device. 

I have researched the issue thoroughly and it seems to be an issue with my motherboard. Tried it on a friend's pc, fine - mine intermittent crashes even with a different driver. Oh well... It pains me to sell it as it is a lovely bit of kit and looks the part as well with the main jog wheel all encased is brushed metal finish. 

I can't guarantee it will be ok on your PC, Macs it will be fine but I couldn't find any reported issues pc wise - only seems to be my combination of parts causing issues. 

Cost me £250 new (can provide original receipt) £130 delivered seems fair. Trades for an alternative USB device will be considered.

Will post pics showing it working shortly.

Carl.

Bumping... Turns out it isn't my motherboard! Looks like it cubase! Other daws seem fine, even earlier versions of cubase are ok! An upgrade is in order! Still available though if anyone is interested...

That's a relief, I've got two of them and love 'em

Bump back up... Seems it is my set up after all! Upgrade to cubase 10 did not fix it and tried it on a friend's pc with cubase 10.... Absolutely fine! Oh well! I need a working device! Anyone fancy a bash??

Will do it for £120 delivered....

Using Studio One with a Windows 7 laptop and a Windows 10 desktop.

Hope this helps

Need to get a working device due to up and coming project. It definitely seems that my system (mboard I think) is the issue - works great on my Mac and other windows users have commented on the stability of the unit... Offers are welcome bump!

For clarification, it crashes on my system using cubase or Sibelius. A friend's windows 10 system, cubase, reaper and Sibelius all showed no issues at all.

My MacBook, absolutely fine and rock solid.

That's about the limit of the testing I can do.
