Problems with 8Pre and CueMix

Post by Fabiolous »

I got a Motu 8pre and I am running El capitan.
I installed the legacy driver and I got CueMix installed as well.
PROBLEM 1 : When I try to control the volume from the front panel in the Motu I get nothing If I dont use CueMix, for example, if the channel one in cuemix is half way even when i turn all the motu fron pannel channel one volume down i keep on hearing the channel, is like the motu unit volumes are useless.
I want to control the volume of the channels from the MOTU not from cuemix.
Any clues?

PROBLEM 2: when i use Logic X, I get an horrible flanger sound on one channel, Moru 8pre works perfectly with my mac general sound but in logic X is like something is wrong.
Any clues?

thank you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Non-reposnive control: I'm thinking you may be adjusting the level of inputs on mix that is not the mix you are monitoring... in other words, you are changing fader that is feeding a mix bus other than the buss feeding your monitor speakers.

Flanging: sounds like you have parallel signal paths slightly out of phase, likely due to monitoring both input thru Cue Mix and thru Logic at the same time. Turn down that channels fader in Cue Mix or turn off input monitoring in Logic

Maybe, but why? CueMix works great and is much easier to use than the front panel controls.

Have you accidentally pushed the volume button? It toggles between phones and speakers.
