Just an update to say I went with the Digimax D8 in the end, hooked up to the MOTU896HD via ADAT/TOSlink cable. Digimax has to be clock master since the Digi will only sync to an external clock via BNC. I am able to see all the Digi inputs in MOTU's cuemix and hence route them where I like in the av...

Check CueMix and you will note that you can select which physical outputs on your interface are fed from each CueMix bus understood, my 896HD cuemix panel works the same way, has 4 output busses and on each one you can choose which physical output on the 896HD maps to it but then you say 8 outs fed...

Hey there, thanks for that, yeah I just rechecked the control panel for my 896HD and once I enabled the checkbox for optical input the 8 ADAT ins appeared in the CueMix mixer. Can I ask how you have connected your Digimax and Motu 828 to your computer? If you are saying that both MOTU's CueMix Panel...

But will you USE higher sample rates? Probably never, I agree that there is little or no point in 96 or higher at this level of the game. And like you I really want to have everthing lined up in cuemix. To kind of go back to my original objective, it was to establish if there were any real function...

Many thanks for your response. I have to agree I couldn't understand why the sound on sound article suggested that the ADAT I/O appearing in the CueMix utility was something unique to using the 8pre with other MOTU gear. Although they didn't say it explicitly the article seemed to imply that using a...

I am a happy owner of an 896HD running Cubase 2.x on Win XP Pro 32bit SP2. Although I'm not a heavy user the MOTU has worked more or less flawlessly since purchase (4 years ago). I would like to add an additional 8 inputs (mic/line) and am considering the 8pre and the Presonus Digimax D8. I have two...

Sorry i don't have any answers for you but I wondered how you got on? I currently own an 896HD and am tempted to get an 8pre but can't decide if I should just get a Presonus Digimax since its cheaper. From what I can tell the benefit of the MOTU 8pre (over the Digimax) is that it integrates with Cue...

I have had an 896HD for over a year now, and although in sadness I hardly use it, it has given me very few problems and some pretty decent results (www.myspace.com/tonymacprods). However last night I noticed while reconfiguring my studio that the mic/line/fixed input switches on the back are actuall...
