Read pages 50-81 of the FF800 manual. But here's an overview: Basically, set up your mixer/matrix (totalmix) to the stand-alone state you want- IE. route your I/O with the FF connected to the PC (only way) EX. mic pre inputs to ADAT out 1-4 or, since I think the FF has 10 AN ins and the MOTU only on...

Umm, psss. Tim is a windows user.. They dont have AudioMidi Setup or Aggregate Devices.. :o no wonder you MOTU guys have so many problems, you can't read the manual! it's always the same thing with any gear, when there's a problem the user blames the gear and half, or, most the time, it's the inter...

J, A, & S: Well I have to thank you guys for your insights about MOTU and also XP, etc.. But I have taken a sudden about face from my earlier stance about getting an 896 and I have decided to go with a Creamware Scope Project PCI card, the M-Audio Octane, a well featured 8x8 mic pre, and a Macki...

I've been snooping around town about MOTU and so far, everyone I've spoken to has different set-ups and their MOTU products have worked without error from the beginning, and all with SP2 installed. Regardless, I've taken some of your advice and picked up a Keyspan FW card w/ TI contoller chip as it'...

Hey John, I went looking at makers of FW cards with TI chipsets and while I was at the ADS site I found this link to fix 1394 issues with XP SP2. Not sure if you're aware of it but here it is.... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/885222 I'm checking Mac stores here for a FW card that MOTU recommends. ...

So, you're saying don't do the SP2 upgrade, unless of course I'm using FW 800 (not likely). Chances are with the nForce chips it'll be 1394A. The rig is new and on the way to me. I bought it, got it home, then learned that the VIA chipset wouldn't be adequate, returned it the next day and they order...

I heard that the VIA chipset had problems. But then I read that issues with the UAD-1 that I mentioned earlier worked better with the VIA than with nVidia.

Honestly, my head is spinning from all of the back and forth information about what does and doesn't work....

Well then....actually what I meant was Motu and AMD together but I guess it's a good thing I posted as I wouldn't have known that it would be such a hassle with Motu/Win period. I'm pretty new to the CPU DAW game, so perhaps you have a suggestion for me as to which direction I should go with my CPU ...

Any known problems with this set-up? I see that there are issues w/ this CPU/chipset combo and UAD-1, which I heard was that the VIA chipsets weren't compatible and then heard that they were after 1999. Everyone has an opinion, none of them are the same. Anyway, I haven't heard anything negative in ...
