Re: 828mk3 Phone Monitoring Issue

My own situation was no main out. OK. What I found was that if in Motu Audio Setup I set the Main Out Assign to analog 1&2, Return Assign to Analog 1&2, the default stereo output to Analog 1&2, the Phones assign to Analog 1&2, and in CueMixFX, mixes tab, the buss 1 main out to Analog...

828mk3 driver

There seems to be something wrong with the driver for the 828mk3, or I do not understand how to use it. On my 828mk2 I could play some background music out of iTunes, select the 828mk2 as the default sound output device, an not only hear the iTunes selection in the 828mk2 phones out, but also record...

Re: Instrument Track names disappear

Did you do the repair permissions and maintenance scripts? That can sometimes fix weird problems. Just a thought.

Re: System preferences, soud - no 828mk3

Thanks again Frodo. I have it partially working. Instead of using Motu Audio Setup, I typed the names directly onto the CueMixFX picture in the mixes tab. I pulled out one hard drive. The SSD raid is linked to my main DP drive (a 1.5 TB Seagate) and that pair seems to hold the channel names by typin...

Re: System preferences, soud - no 828mk3

Frodo, tried all your suggestions. Nothing made any difference. To recap the problem, when I change the channel names using Motu Audio Setup, the changes show up in CueMixFx - no problem. But when I turn the computer off, the channel names show up in CueMixFX back in the generic form, eg Analog 1, a...

Re: System preferences, soud - no 828mk3

Thanks mucho. Lots of useful things to check. But I am not normally using DP in this instance. Do I need to set those things up in DP anyway? I can play a 5.1 file with DP no problem. The outputs on the 828mk3 feed and function properly to my Sony AV receiver. The 828mk3 does not show up in system p...

System preferences, soud - no 828mk3

I'm having problems with getting audio out on the 828mk3 head phones, and checked system preferences - audio and noticed that the 828mk3 does not even show up as an option. Installed latest drivers, tried 828mk2, repaired permissions, ran maintenance scripts. Looking at audio-midi setup, it always r...

New Motu HDZ-SDI, and noise in 828mk3

I'm getting a new Motu video interface - the HDX-SDI. Anybody here into video and have any pointers or suggestions. Or is there a site that discuses this? TIA.

The noise in my 828mk3 required sending it back to the factory.

New 828mk3 pops and scratches sound

I just bought a new Motu 828mk3, new Mogami cables, two new Rode NT1a's and am getting popping and scratching sounds on the right channel after about 45 minutes of recording. At first I suspected a leaky coupling capacitor some where in the analog audio chain. Then I thought maybe one of the Rodes w...

The most finicky I've ever seen are the installers for Final Cut Pro when you have an upgrade. Seems like 5000 letters for the serial number on every version you have.

Re: MIDI notes still hanging (DP 7.21)

I tied newer cables, another MTP-AV, and neither solved the problem. So count me in as one who is still waiting for a solution.

Re: Audio MIDI Setup doesn't remember arrangement of devices

I had this problem many times, what with 16 devices an two mtp-ac's. What seemed to work for me was to start from scratch and add new devices in the exact order I wanted them to appear across the screen - 30 in cinema. Then no ugly looking cross wires and such. But it did take the whole screen horiz...
