4Pre and Mac OS Sierra 10.12,4

Post by Ben@work »

Hello, I've just installed the audio driver from Motu: MOTU Audio Installer 1.6 (71459) on my new Mac mini (Mac OS 10.12.4) and it doesn't run very well... Sound from the 4PRE is cutting every second.
Any suggestions from members?
Best regards
Ben

Hi Ben@work,

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble getting this device up and running.
How do you have the 4Pre connected to your computer? Are you using the USB or Firewire connection? If you haven't already done so, please make sure you're running the 4pre on its internal clock. This setting can be made in the MOTU Audio Setup application. While you're in there, it would be good to verify that you are running the device on the latest firmware. The correct version is 1.03. Updates can be downloaded from Motu.com/download

Feel free to get in touch with Tech Support here at MOTU if you have any further questions. We can be reached Mon - Fri 9am to 6pm EST.
Phone: 617.576.3066

Best,

Travis Hagan - MOTU Tech Support
