I have gotten a few genuine bargains lately on used gear from a couple of Sam Ash stores advertising on Reverb. With stores closing, negotiating down on this merch should be easy. My last score was on a Zoom Q2n-4k with the $40 aux battery case, a card, aux handle and carry case under $160 shipped—n...

There is firmware in the Apple TB2–TB3 adapter. A few websites are recommending that the adapter be plugged into a TB3/4 port during a macOS update so that the adapter firmware updates as well. I have no idea if this is correct since none of those sites are Apple but it’s easy enough to do. One way ...

Neither of these pages say anything about f16–19. If these don’t work, you can call Apple and ask.

… Right. I know they’re “obsolete” now but with the old PCIe-424 systems, IIRC you didn’t need any external clock. With the newer ones I can see that making sense. I’m actually going to dig out my old Lucid clock and hook it up to my 828es and 24Ai just for giggles and try it out. As long as it doe...

Mike Halloran: Just want to say Thank You for keeping the flames of ye olde MOTU interfaces burning for so many MOTUNation members with your kind instructions! It is a beautiful thing. You're welcome. I keep thinking, "I don't use them (828mkII FW, MTP AV USB) anymore, let's see if I can sell ...

I don't know if there is a driver among the "tools" in the download on this page. https://legacy.presonus.com/products/Studio-1824c/downloads If so, a new Mac needs to have security settings changed to Reduced Security before 3rd party drivers to install and load correctly. https://softwar...

MOTU recommends an external clock when there are three or more units connected. If you have sync issues, connect it over USB 2 instead of TB. The 828x uses a built-in Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter for connectivity. Since all MOTU FW devices run at FW400 speeds, there's a chance that the Fast USB 2...

Does it work connected over USB 2?

Although that does not support the track count of TB, there is no difference in latency. I the 828es works over USB, this should confirm that the TB adapter or TB2 cable is the problem.

Huh, typical Apple, I can't see the TB to FW adapter on the Apple UK site, just not listed. I guess it is discontinued.

Although discontinued, many resellers still stock it in the US. A search on eBay shows 82 for sale currently. No idea where to find one in the UK, however.

Core Audio requires a USB 2 cable. Many cables no longer support the protocol. A "USB Printer Cable" is limited to USB 2. In fact, Yamaha recommends these specifically. I would order one from Amazon and see if that fixes you up—you can always return it if it doesn't. This is the usual prob...

Hey all, I am about ready to discard an old orig 896. I downloaded the newest available MOTU audio driver installer that they offer for 896 but it won't install and says not compatible with Monterey. Barring using an old computer there's no way to communicate anymore with that old interface- is tha...

ik Multimedia ARC 4 I didn't realize they had the software available separately for users of the plugin version. I have ARC 3. Still the upgrade price is $99.99 and with my Jam Points I can only get it down to $84.99, so I think I'm going to pass for now. I still have SonarWorks that I have yet to ...

Are these samples recorded dry or with effects?

Hello, When I record audio it starts well, but after a while it starts to sound glitchy, with reverb, delayed, choppy and all kinds of other stuff... (I don't even know how to describe it). I'm using MacOS Monterey with a Steinberg UR44. I haven't been able to have a decent audio session since. Unl...

Hi Mike, Thanks for your reply. Ive deleted everything except for - MOTU MIDI driver.kext- which couldn't be found. Reinstalled just the audio installer- which is the only thing i ever do install when trying to reinstall for the 828. Not sure what the "driver" is then? Sorry if i said &qu...
