It highlights which software is hogging resources.ĬleanMyMac then moves onto the Maintenance stage of Speed. The Optimisation stage checks for things like Login items and Launch Agents. This is the stage that optimizes your Mac’s performance and works out what needs to be done to improve the situation. The final stage of CleanMyMac Smart Scan is called Speed. The Protection stage of CleanMyMac includes a scan for malware that references a database of malware. There’s an option to choose a suitable period to scan for and CleanMyMac gets to work cleaning things up and protecting privacy. This helps to scan for privacy issues and can wipe out unwanted traces of chat logs, browsing history, cookies, downloads, recent item lists and all the other stuff that can clog up your Mac’s system. The second stage of the Protection Module is called Privacy. A database of all these issues is kept up-to-date by the team at MacPaw so that it’s always up with the latest threat to Macs. If CleanMyMac notices something suspicious, it will offer to remove it immediately.

The Malware Removal module scans the system for vulnerabilities and hazards like adware, viruses, spyware, and cryptocurrency miners. The second stage of Smart Scan is called Protection and this is where malware and viruses get hunted down. Smart Scan tells you exactly how much space will be freed up and you’ll probably be surprised by how much space you can recover. However, in my experience, it’s usually safe to go ahead and get rid of all that bloat without any worry. There is an option to uncheck any one of these categories if you’re a bit nervous about deleting something.

This is all stuff that’s no longer needed, and which can safely be wiped. The files are divided into categories such as photo junk, mail attachments, trash bins, iTunes junk and system junk. This is all about hunting down old files and data that is taking up space. Can anyone offer me any advice? And my million dollar question, is FireWire a dinosaur? Should I return the brand new, just out of the box FireWire Mackie mixer for a different format? I don't need a $5,000 boat anchor.The first stage of Smart Scan is called Cleanup. I rely on my studio gear to record as a songwriter, so I’m freaking out. I can get to my hard disk drives via USB, but the FireWire port doesn’t seem to be doing anything, it can’t see my mixer and hard disk drives, it can't see just the hard disk drives when I take the mixer, well, out of the mix. When I plugged everything back in it seems nothing works. Then I disconnected everything and moved it to a new location. It was flawless and sounded/performed great.

I connected the new mixer to my MacBook Pro via the FireWire port, continuing from the mixer’s 2nd FireWire port to Glyph Ext HD #1 and then bouncing into Glyph Ext HD #2. The old had 16 in but only a stereo return to the mixer via FireWire.

Everything is exactly the same, except the new Mackie has 16 channels of FireWire in and out. I recently upgraded from my MacBook Pro and Mackie Onyx 1620i FireWire mixer to the long sought after Mackie Onyx 1640i FireWire mixer.
