I use Cuemix for monitoring any inputs on 8Pre #2 thru 8Pre #1's headphone/main outs and it works OK. (They show up on Cuemix as ADAT 1 - 8) I don't feel like I wasted $500 on the 2nd unit anymore! :lol: You know, the products themselves are fantastic, great features, quality, etc. It's just the int...

OK, I have found a configuration that actually works everytime. All multi-8Pre users should read this. The working config is: 8Pre #1 hooked up to the firewire port on the PC 8Pre #2 is connected to #1 via the ADAT ports 8Pre #1 is the clock source. It works, and works well. Why doesn't MOTU stop te...

I am trying to run 2 8Pre's. I think I have finally fixed my sync problems by using unit #2 as the primary clock source. What did you do to get your 896's to work? What were your symptoms? Etc.
Thanks!

More info.... This is a dedicated DAW, I'm a geek and am proud to say I've been able to get the number of processes down to the bare minimum (10). I do have an update....and it is very confusing..... During all of this testing, I've always set the source clock in the MOTU audio application as 8pre #...

If I were to try to hook the 2 units up via ADAT ports, would I loose any inputs from the 2nd unit?
I thought MOTU said to daisy chain via firewire.

All good questions... here's what I've done so far: 1) swaped #1 & #2 units via internal firewire ports on the 8Pre's 2) Hooked both units into separate 1394 ports on the PC 3) Recorded with each unit individually (works fine) 4) put in the SP1 1394 patch & SP 1 drivers, port speed in regist...

I too, needed more pre amp inputs for my studio. Started out with one 8 Pre, worked great, bought a second one, and I've been having trouble ever since. See my post on using two 8 Pre's.
I don't have an answer right now, but it's getting quite discouraging.

I was wondering if anyone has had any positive results using two 8Pre's daisy-chained under XP & Cubase. My first 8Pre works flawlessly, but when I added a second one, all sorts of problems popped up. Primarily, the 2nd unit goes out of clock sync randomly and causes a buzzing noise on the chann...
