Nice

Thank you very much, I’ll check them out. Really what I want is a MOTU as they originally come but with a quality FireWire port. I’m happy to pay MOTU for my repairs.

Bam! Apple does just that. I’ll admit that Apple doesn’t always have old products available but they don’t make it impossible to gain knowledge either. -Examples of taking care of discontinued products- Audio Technica: my wireless transmitter isn’t turning on.

Bull crap. Nice try. The tech guys at Sweetwater told me that MOTU won’t allow them to work on their gear. Used the word proprietary. Get that? They’re not allowed. That is legally MOTU’s right, but it’s the wrong way to go about life. MOTU won’t supply them or anyone with any manuals or even some g...

I’d like some help with my 896HD, just needs the firewire port.

Sorry, MOTU is no longer “the best.” The “best” would at least facilitate their customers getting repairs on models that aren’t serviced anymore. Back in the day Lorne was there & there was more of a can help you attitude. MOTU had a reputation for quiet pro quality hardware & great tech sup...

Small repairs & service on discontinued models is something MOTU needs stop neglecting. Especially when parts are so freakin fragile, & there’s hardly a scratch on the hardware. Or... we need access to information to get repairs done without support.

Please take a minute & check out the songs made with Digital Performer, & MOTU interfaces. There are free downloads too.

I can’t get any useful info out of tech guys. They don’t repair 896HD’ s & they don’t give out useful info or share repair manuals. Which they should if they’re not going to even service a simple data port on such a pricey piece of hardware. I was told the FireWire port wasn’t manufactured anymo...

Yeah I got me 2 896HD’s that have bad FireWire ports. Otherwise these things never left their rack space, always plugged into a Furman, & have not so much as a scratch.

I'm perplexed by MOTU's choice to not service their not so older models. When I learned they won't make service info available for third party repairs I realized this is a move they think will encourage sales of their newer devices. Wrong. I bought a total of 3 896's not a scratch ... just want one ...
