Does anyone have any thoughts on the long out of stock status of most MOTU AVB interfaces? Any thoughts on when we might see them available again? I currently have two 828es boxes which I really like.

Thanks for any input.

I can confirm 64 channels from my 828es connected via USB 3 card in my 2009 modified Mac Pro. See attached screenshot. I didn't test to the point of passing audio, but when I type "64" in the Enable Outputs > To Computer field, then hit Tab or Enter buttons, I get what the screenshot shows...

My apologies for missing that you are connecting via USB - my bad. Martin You can't do more than 64 simultaneous channels over USB. MOTU upped the ante by increasing the limit from 24 to 32 some years ago and followed that up (6 months later IIRC) by increasing the limit to 64. I've not heard of any...

Yes, you can do 72 inputs at the same time:

Have you set up the routings in the software?

I spent 20 mins on the phone with a great MOTU tech support guy and the problem basically solved itself. We factory reset both boxes - that didn't help. We plugged each box straight into my Mac to see if an IP address showed up on each box - it did. Then we plugged them into each other with a Cat 6 ...

Hello All, I have two 828es boxes. One is connected to my old Mac Pro via USB. All is well. When I connect my second 828es to the first 828es via Cat 6 cable, I cannot get the second box to show up in the Discovery app. I've done this successfully a few months ago, but not since the new firmware upd...

Hello All, I have a couple dozen backing track songs for a live performance loaded as a separate Chunks in the Chunks window. I'm using Cue Chunks to automatically go to the next Chunk at the end of each song/Chunk. Is there any way to have DP automatically "press" Pause and Play (preloadi...

You say that you do see X-Live inputs in DP. Then you're good to go. That's the X32.

Assuming you mean the X32 family of mixers. Yo may need to go to the Bundles window in DP and add inputs and outputs there first.

If that doesn't work you might also check out dbbaudio.com I bet he has a good article to show you everything on the X32 end you need.

Yes, it's one of the included plugins.

This may be of some use:

I don't think your iMac has a Lightning connector. You need a Thunderbolt cable.

I'd go with a couple of MOTU AVB interfaces. Like a 1248 and a 24Ai. Or maybe a 8pre-es and a 24Ai. Martin I was looking into the 24Ai. I don't necessarily need pre's as I have enough outboard preamps. I assume the 24Ai has on-board DSP for effects to feed the live inputs? I suggested the 1248 and ...
