Re: MOTU M4 1/2 outputs not sending audio.

If that doesn't fix it, it might be a hardware problem, like the big knob itself-- or perhaps something where the driver isn't configured right.

I wonder if you could test on a Mac somewhere, somehow-- to at least determine if it is a hardware issue.

Re: MOTU M4 1/2 outputs not sending audio.

...I was using the inputs, I just turned them down or up as a troubleshooting. However, I don't have anything connected to the inputs. The input monitor mix knob adjusts the balance you hear (either from headphones or monitor outs 1 & 2) between any sound coming from the inputs (fully countercl...

Re: MOTU M4 1/2 outputs not sending audio.

Probably safest to park it at noon, so you get a balance of input & playback (just for testing purposes).

Please be careful to answer MH's questions thoroughly. He'll help you get sorted if you do.

They are turned down.
Since you used the word "They", I'm going to make sure we're talking about the same thing.

Re: MOTU M4 1/2 outputs not sending audio.

What is the position of the input/playback knob? That's all I can think of.

Re: Clean Power for Live?

Thanks, Mike. That's incredibly clarifying. Based on that info, I'll definitely get signal out of the keyboard via balanced TRS. As you said, I'll need some kind of isolation box. I ordinarily use the DI as a splitter (using thru to my monitor rig). Since most DI's have unbalanced inputs, I'll need ...

Re: Classical guitar

THANKS SO MUCH for this excellent "buyer's guide" I highly recommend steering clear of the Cordoba models. I had seen them recommended in more than one nylon guitar "nerd-site". But when I tried a few in stores, I wasn't impressed with the sound. The quality control seemed to cor...

Re: Classical guitar

I also think it's useful to try out expensive (even very expensive) guitars. You can learn quite a bit about what kinds of sounds are possible. Sometimes the price is about how it's made and what it's made out of, perhaps more than a corresponding ratio of price to sound-quality. You learn more abou...

Re: Clean Power for Live?

Passive DIs are for keyboards etc. and work best with Instrument Level outs. I suspect that your keyboard has a Line Level Out instead. The Morley/Ebtech (same product sold under two names) Hum Eliminator is a 1:1 transformer. There will be a loss (darned physics!). Their LLS-2, however is a step-u...

Re: Classical guitar

I guess first, make a decision about how much you want to spend. When I was helping a couple students with this question, I did find a few helpful articles/reviews that ranked a few good choices. I've seen good values from Yamaha, Godin, and Cordoba. However, the reviews for Cordoba are pretty mixed...
