Mike, that bag must be handy for cashing in the royalty checks at the bank each month,,,,bring home the bacon??? That's a serious collectible right there. On a slight tangent my wife reminded me today by laughing her head off about the meaning of the word Motu (she is a Fiji Indian, fluent in Hindi)...

Guys I'm desperate to crack into the music biz. I feel the only thing holding me back is that I don't look the part!! Desperate to get hold of one of these, feeling sad that I missed the boat, came up a dollar short and a day late.... http://web.archive.org/web/20060527173116im_/http://www.sweetwate...

I could complain to the manufacturer about the preamps going bad on 828mkii, sheesh they are only 19 years old....gee they sure don’t make em like they used ta....:) i don’t want to press my luck, but one day i may open it up and have a poke around with my soldering iron...fir now to disable them in...

Mike, after almost 2 weeks of hair pulling, drooling, nose picking, constant re-starting of the mac mini, messing around in cuemix and motu audio settings app, and mac audio MIDI utility..i believe i have created a monster....I have willed it into existence...don’t even know how it’s fully possible,...

never mind guys...I was able to track down a driver...some fw hybrid driver that was mentioned for Catalina and another more modern device...seems to have done trick. I built an unholy beast aggregate with the following configuration. Behringer FCA 1616 connected via usb on mac 8pre fw connected to ...

haha thanks Mike. I thought I would add a bit of drama to my post RE the old Power computing clones lol. Foolishly I never completely swore off Macs...I embellished that part. I've been burnt so many times, there was the 2009 MacBook Pro 19" that cost me a gazillion bucks, and had the issue wit...

I think the last Mac I bought was a “power computing” power mac in the 90s...soon after Steve Jobs returned to Apple as CEO, killed the licencing deal they had in place with a couple of companies to produce mac clones..just past the one year warranty expiry, the power supply melted, things went sout...

Going to delete the 8 pre from the equation. 3 devices not that stable on playback. And its not critical for me to have more 16 inputs. 3 devices requires a master clock according to the manual, and I just realised the original 8 pre has no s/pdif or clock connections..pretty dumb actually as it has...

Impressed with the traveller. Super light weight. Has better quality preamps than 828mkii and 8pre, or is it just more gain?sounds good. Only downside is an audible click, that sounds like a solenoid or relay. Its not audible or showing up in the recorded tracks..thank goodness..i could live with it...

Yeah I haven’t forgotten about the lightpipe. Played around with it plenty, but I’m trying to avoid adat option. ..its like a last resort because, to my way of thinking, your only getting 8 channels total out of box like an 828 mkii that have a lot more i/o..seems like waste of resources ;) If I wer...

One flaw in my genius plan. The Traveller does not have seperate main outs like the 828mkii..they are 1-2 of the 8 analogue outputs. So I will make a balanced TRS..to 2 x TS “Y” cable ( stereo to 2 mono phono 6.35mm cable). Its only for monitoring...yeah the 8 outputs are going to the mixer...easies...

Think I found the best way to do monitoring. I have 3 boxes ..Traveller (in the mail), 828mkii and 8pre. Set up the 828 as the unit that connect to fw port, connected the 8pre..thats a stable setup. Routed the mainout from the 828 into the first pair of inputs on the 8 pre. Yeah i lose a couple inpu...

Hey guys, I just bought a used Traveller mk1 for great price. I plan to daisy chain it with its cousins from the same era, 828mkii and 8pre. Mostly to get 16 outs for my mixer A couple of questions 1. My 2 original devices are stable in Win10. Adding a third, is this when I should think about an ext...

I just re-installed the drivers. The wdm drivers were there, windows playback seems to be working ok now. I think i screwed up the install by having a machine, turned on and plugged in, before installing drivers. There were a couple clicks and pops, went change buffer and driver wouldn’t open. Unins...

OK there's one issue. there doesn't appear to have been wdm drivers installed so play back in youtube not possible, vids just don't play..doesnt crash the system. changed windows setttings to realtek ibuilt sound card on my mobo' and get gloriously tinny mono from back of my computer. work around is...
