I realize this is a narrow (perhaps even obscure) topic, but I have received enough e-mail to know it addresses a real problem so indulge me.
If you use an USB-powered audio interface and a MacBook Pro, plug your interface into the USB port on the left side of the laptop. For some reason, the MacBook Pro's internal architecture causes some interfaces plugged in on the right side of the computer to have problems. Typical symptoms will include audio interrupts and/or dropped samples.
The same problem can be found on the MacBook. In this case, the proper USB port is the one located on the front of the laptop. I don't recommend using the one located on the back of the computer because it may suffer from the same sorts of audio interrupts and/or dropped samples.
If you've been having trouble with an audio interface that you plugged into your new Mac Intel laptop, switch USB ports. That may solve your problem.
