It says USB hubs are not supported but how does that work exactly?
I have an iMac Pro with 4 USB ports only. I have an Elektron Digitone, Four, Rytm, and Heat. I also have an Access Virus TI2, Roland Tr-8S, Softube Console, and an SH-01A plugged in via USB.
How do people deal with these? Everyone wants you to not use USB hubs, but ultimately, that’s the future? Does a Thunderbolt 3 hub work?
My issue is that every time I open the Four and the Rytm via Overbridge in Ableton Live, I get a severely distorted, glitchy sound, almost sounds like ring modulation.
My fix is to turn off the distorted device. Wait 10 secs and restart the device. Usually the other device will go out in the same manner. This will repeat for about 5 mins and multiple rounds until it finally works. Of course, it is generally the case that sometime in the next hour I will have another off and on a few times.
The problem is I cannot do this without a USB hub. How many people have large studios and don’t need USB hubs?
