Re: Any problems upgrading to DP 5.12 using OSX 10.4.8?

Hi Frodo: I sent this question to the email discussion list and I did get a few responses. That's why I thanked them ... I thought this was linked in some way. I have been on yahoo groups for years and still don't understand how to use them. MOTU did send me the DP 7.21 discs. I got them Monday, but...

Re: Any problems upgrading to DP 5.12 using OSX 10.4.8?

Thank you to everyone that wrote me on this topic. I am still waiting on the DP 7.12 discs from MOTU, but I must say that DP 7.21 works on my PPC G5, 2.7 Ghz dual processor, 8 GB of RAM old computer as well as DP 5.13 did. I guess I will keep on working in this version and keep the 7.12 discs if the...

Re: Should I get an 828mk3?

[quote="Piplodocus"]I've also read various forums where people have had problems with the 828mk3 (syncing/funny noises/etc.). Is anyone out there still having any problems who's using the latest firmware?[quote] Hi Pip: I'll jump in and say that I have had my problems with the 828 MK3 beca...

Hi All: I have a 2.7 GHz, dual processor, G5 running OS X 10.4.11. I am using my second 828 MK3 since March 08 (the first one went back to MOTU). I have updated the firmware to 1.05 and have the current drivers. BTW, I do not have any firewire ports in use other than the 828. I do have wireless inte...

The squeal

Hi Jeff & Robbie: I have experienced the squeal many time on two different 828 MK3 since March 31, 2008. I have to say that I have just learned to live with it for now and pray that MOTU gets a driver/firmware update soon. To be honest, I don't think MOTU has a clue why this happens. I have done...

i bought a short toslink cable, and set the adat b i/o in motu audio setup to toslink. I also set the main out assign to adat b. plugged the cable from the adat b out to the adat b in. Hi Uffe: Yes, your answer makes sense. I use DP and Logic - I will have to give this a try. Do you know what the d...

Hi Itemma: Yes I was being a little dramatic in my last post, but at least the conversation finally changed. I thought the original review was kinda balanced, but did not throw in enough info about the serious known problems that this unit came with right out of the box. My first comment was directe...

I solved my problem with cuemix not being able to mix the output from logic by looping the adat i/o, but I'm sure you know about this trick, which is only valid if you have no need for two sets of adat inputs. Hi Uffe: Thanks for writing back. I'd be interested in hearing exactly how you use the AD...

Call me old fashioned, but I believe in fairness. You wanted objectivity from the unpaid, unofficial, "unpublished" review and yet were reluctant to provide it yourself. I most certainly would be interested in hearing your perspective on the MkIII, so if you change your mind, please write...

Re: MOTU 828mk3 Review

I was also experiencing intermittent drop-outs in audio while playing with settings in the CueMix FX software, accompanied by very high-pitched (over 5KHz) sustained beeping noises that were not so terribly bad to my ears but probably would make dogs run away in terror. These phenomena accompanied ...

Btw what changed for you after the 1.05 update? My main problem is that if I disengage all monitor buttons in cuemixfx (where I would expect silence - nothing is being monitored) the output will go to full level. Is it actually supposed to be that way? yeah the one conclusion you can draw from all ...
