Multiple Motu 8pre and ?? Motu 2408mkii

Post by AndrewNoblitt »

Hello All,

Just registered today but have had Motu products for awhile.

Dilemma:
I currently have two Motu 8pre (Firewire) ADAT'd to each other. Running Windows 7 (32bit) and into cubase 8pro.

These work excellently, no issues.

My issue is the Motu 8pre only has 1 MAIN out.

My goal is to have at least 1 additional L/R out for 'cue' or artist playback so I can have my own Control Room Mix and they can have their own Artist Mix.

Is it possible to have one Motu slaved to a Motu and then the second Motu slaved to an additional product, such as the 2408mkii. Thus having the 2408mkii(with multiple outs) as the master.

EX: 8pre > 8pre > 2408mkii > computer*(via firewire)

Or would this have to work in tandem, something like:
8pre > 8pre > computer*(via firewire)
2408 mkii > computer*(via firewire)

> Thus having 2 firewire connections to a PCI slot with multiple firewire ports?

Any help would be very much appreciated.
