2 MOTU 828 MKii's causing issues.

Post by Jsebren »

Hey guys,

I bought two 828 MKii's this hear and have them connected firewire and as an aggregate device on my Mac (running 10.9.5). I've only used one for a while because I only had 8 pre's but I have 12 now and I am expire ding some weirdness out of the second 828. There is almost always a latency and th en there will be a pop and everything gets "8 bit sounding" low...crap resoloution sounding. I assumed it was a clock issue and went into the aggregate device and it shows the second is clocked to the first and it shows this in the motu app. Any ideas what's going on and how to fix it? Could it be my firewire cable I use to link them?

Thanks

Josh

It appears to be one to me. Have you tried clocking both to the Mac?
