Just went digging a bit more and found the info below at this link: https://motu.com/techsupport/technotes/direct-avb-limitations Limitations Regarding Direct AVB Audio Connection to a Mac While you can connect a MOTU Pro Audio interface to a computer running macOS 10.10 or later with just an ether...

Hi All, One thing to note is .... The Apple Core Audio Driver is limited to 24 in and 24 out when connected via USB. I have seen scenarios where the MOTU AVB Audio Interface was not connecting to the MOTU Driver but rather, connecting to Apple's Core Audio Driver ( which as stated in the previous se...

Hi, When I was having issues with AVB, I did some research and found some answers that helped me to figure it out. Below is some of the info and a video that helped my understanding of AVB networking. As I recall, This is what I did before MOTU had their AVB Driver ready so I'm not sure if it would ...

Hello James, I'm running 26 UAD Sharc chips.Two of them are UAD-2 Satellites and three are UAD-2 PCIe Cards in OWC PCie to Thunderbolt Chassis. I've disconnected the fans in the OWC chassis and I've been working this way for years without issue. FYI - UAD is going Native with their plugins.... Its c...

Hi All,
I've had weird behavior from my MTP AV recently as well, but a brand new backup battery replacement quickly got it performing like new again.

Just a thought.

Could you expand on what you mean by "class compliant"? 'Class Compliant" simply means that the connected device relies on the Driver built-in to MacOS or iOS for its data transfer to and from the Mac/iPad/iPhone etc. I've had some issues with the 16A connectivity to my computer. I i...

How can I determine whether the 16A is using Core Audio Driver or the MOTU driver? Go to Utilities in your Applications folder and launch Audio MIDI Setup Look in the Audio Devices window's sidebar, if the 16A shows 24 ins and 24 outs under its name... It's using the Core Audio Driver... If it show...

So I just double checked on my MOTU 1248... When using the MOTU Driver via USB @ 48kHz, I have full access to all of the 1248's I/O. In my case, 32in and 34out. I have (2) MOTU 8A's connected to the 1248 via ADAT. When using the Core Audio Driver with the same configuration, the I/O drops down to 24...

Most definitely.
USB 2.0 can access the full compliment of I/O on the 16A at 48kHz … but if the Pro Audio Control is only allowing access to 24 I/O it suggests to me that the 16A may have, or is accessing the Core Audio Driver, which is limited to 24 I/O.

Hope that helps

Mojave is the final MacOS that will support 32bit apps like Peak Pro 7. For the OP, as I recall, one of the things I did to get the TC Powercore to work on Mojave was to run the computer in "Developer Mode". and I kept it that way from then on. Maybe that has also helped Peak to function a...

I'm running macOS Mojave with Peak Pro 7 and TC Electronic Powercore, on a 2013 iMac 27"- Intel i5
Both are working surprisingly well and without issue.

The USB is your limitation. Using the Thunderbolt port would give you full access to all available I/O of your 16A. AVB via the Ethernet port would also give you full access to all available I/O. You'll also need a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter for connection to your 2019 MBP. You should be...

Hey Shrugs, Did you ever have the 16A connected as class compliant via USB? If so, that could be the reason why you're seeing 24 I/O in the Pro Audio Control. I had my 1248 running class compliant via USB ( which is limited to 24 I/O ), then I started using AVB but the 24 USB I/O was still showing i...

I got a brand new Sweetwater card last month and after buying my Ferrofish almost picked up a 16A to go with it but then remembered it would be a doorstop.. Hi All, As a reminder... Motu Pro Audio Interfaces are MacOS Class Compliant using either Core Audio (via USB) or AVB (via Ethernet) using App...

With an AVB interface operating under USB and core audio, does it revert a stereo in/out or do all the inputs and outputs still show in Audio MIDI setup? Is this the same in Logic or Garageband? The Apple Core Audio Driver (using USB) has a maximum of 24 inputs and Outputs simultaneously with any M...
