1248 input help!

Post by Alexstcin »

So I just received my 1248 today. I had work so I only had a short amount of time to play around with it but I couldn't get the inputs figured out completely.

My question is, can I use the mics pres, guitar inputs, and line in 1-8 all at the same time? When I open pro tools and select an Input for a track, it only shows IP 1-8, spdif 1-2, adat 1-16, and loop 1-2.

I plugged in a mic and mic inputs 1-4 = IP 1-4 in pro tools. Guitar inputs 1-2 = IP 5-6 in pro tools. I didn't check the line ins but I can only assume line ins 1-2 = IP 7-8 in pro tools.
So where are my line in 3-8 going? Where are there inputs in pro tools?

I hope I've worded this specifically enogh so I can get the proper advice.
Thanks in advance for any help!

How about tech support? Yes true.
But how about the forum made specially for Motu?..

And yes I've read the "manual". It's a glorified spec sheet. Not helpful in the slightest.

But I figured out the problem. My I/O settings in pro tools were still set for my previous interface.
I changed the I/O and everything's good now.
User error.
