This system is streamlined for audio - all unneeded hardware is disabled or uninstalled. I didn't mean "static noise", I mean static charges. TOUCHING the MOTU or the laptop causes the connection to drop.

Was also curious if anyone else has had this issue - my MOTU 828 Mkiii has been unbelievably susceptible to static since day 1. I now keep a ground post by my rig so I can unconsciously "unload" myself before I touch the unit or the laptop, as it immediately drops the FW connection and I g...

I have a bizarre problem, and I'll explain as best I can, see if anyone knows a workaround. I'm using a MOTU 828 Mkiii firewired into an Acer laptop, with a MOTU 8Pre as Optical A in and a Fostex VC-8 (essentially an ADAT AD/DA i/o section) into Optical B. Recording with Nuendo 4 in WinXP Pro. Getti...

Have been using an 828 MKiii for a while in a live situation, but never til now had to have it accept MIDI, was only playing it back from a multitrack app. I have a MIDI cable with live MIDI streaming through it - when I plug it into any other MIDI in device - but I cannot get it to show up in the 8...

I think right now the only way to do that is to run a DAW and select one side of one of the 828's stereo pairs as a mono output. You can only route like that with a DAW using the MOTU ins and outs as the i/o. I'm doing this in a live situation (MOTU 828Mkiii and Nuendo 3), as well as running MIDI cu...

Like he said, you can probably edit the file LocalizableStrings.xml.

Well, at least I can't find the channels names in that file.
So, I hope that it's just my lack of knowledge and not a fact...

No, there are no channel or mix output names to edit in there that I can see either.

I'm kinda new here, but I just finished a solo CD and used Ethno on about every track - most of the time, subtly. This is one track in particular where it's not so subtle, and I thought I'd share a freebie full mix with the forum. There's quite a variety of types of instruments going on at once at t...

Thanks, that was my next guess - that these are two direct outs for the mic channels. That'll teach me to speed read. : ) If I may second guess the engineers involved, it's kind of odd to install 2 hardware jack outputs and not make them more variably assignable in the software. The limitations on t...

Does anyone know how to utilize the Send Jack(s) on the back of the 828MKiii? I cannot find a channel send in CueMix to utilize this feature - a way to send a signal to this jack via the software.

Thanks for any info.

Thanks HS. I believe the driver issue may be the problem, but now my problem is the non functional update. I wonder if anyone else here has had that problem as well, I didn't find it on a search of the forum's topics. Thanks again. EDIT: Problem resolved. Had to hook it to another system to do the u...

Okay, I saw here in the forum that there were some issues with the old drivers, so I got the latest driver, and tried the Update program. I hold in Page and power up, but the updater says "no units in update stage". So, despite the fact that the unit generally works, the updater is not fin...

First, let me establish my credentials - I'm a professional in-ear monitor mixer for an artist on RCA records, so I know digital mixing. I've been trying to use my 828MK3 as a live digital mixer for a cover band, and I'm about to blow my brains out. 1st problem - I cannot get audio out of the Main O...
