I finally was able to fix my non-working 838mk3. Alright! However, I can't seem to get the mac audio to play or be recognized by the 828es, i.e., the pro audio control. Where there are supposed to be options to choose the number of input and output channels on the Device page, there is only an optio...

Did you do this? http://www.alphareal.com/Previous/Picture%201.jpg First try making a new configuration with just this in it. AMS preferences have haunted me before. If this doesn't do it, try deleting all of your AMS preferences files [there are a bunch], in usr and system. Then make from scratch. ...

What does the event viewer look like? Did you try a different cable? Try power cycling the 828? Yes, I'm with you about being frustrated with this type of thing. I've quelled my lust for the latest and greatest and now I wait for 2 revisions of OSes, Drivers, etc before I upgrade, unless there is a ...

I just discovered another way for audio:

Hold down command and lasso the automation.

Then go to Edit/copy to clipping window.

Now you can drop this automation clipping to any track you like.

You asked: Yes, I'll need to pick up a cheapo omni mic at least to carry out the tests. Maybe I can borrow it from a friend though. I was recommended some software a time ago, but any additions are welcome. XYZ wrote: Finally, even if JBLs clocks are fairly good, they are non-upgradable, and your Bl...

The BCF can emulate either the Baby HUI mode or the Mackie Control Mode. HUI is simpler, and has fewer functions, and fewer "shift" keys to access all the functions on the BCF. The Mackie Control Mode has more functions, and is a bit more complicated.

I just thought of another consideration for the DRC speakers--latency. Since your DAC will add buffering latency, and then the speaker ADC, FIR processing, buffering, and DAC will each add additional latency, this may become noticeable. So if you go this way, I'd check to see what this additional la...

A couple of comments on your post: I haven't tried ITB room correction but have been reading somewhat good feedback of it. It has it's advantages over traditional acoustic treatment, particularily in project studios where the space isn't designed for mixing. If I end up getting analog monitors, I'll...

A few. First, in the MOTU audio setup driver, choose "headphones follow main mix" or something similar to that. That will do it. However, What I do in DP, is to create another output to the headphones that is sourced from my main mix bus. This gives me a separate fader and mute for my head...

I have been looking for some time, and I have yet to find a pre-amp that has greater VALUE than the RNP. It is ugly, has few bells and whistles, and is more expensive than this list. However, you will use it all the time. It has most [all?] of the typical useable features of a real-top of the line, ...

You can use the 896 as an "Analog to ADAT converter" without a problem. Make sure you think about and setup your clock synchronization scheme. It will work in both directions, giving you both inputs and outputs. If it has cuemix capability, you can even set up digital routing within it eve...

Can you go to a music store with a current mix and listen to them? I find that, for me, a huge portion of the reviews and comments come from someone that owns that product, and they are more often rationalizing their own purchase than providing specific or even real information. Also, I'm becoming a...

Yes, mostly. The last time I tried it, I had one channel automatically dropping to [if memory serves me] something like -24 dB, every time I 'd do a bank switch. I believe that this is in baby hui mode, which, for me, is the one I like due to simplicity and fewer keystrokes. MOTU tried it out, and v...

DP has been stable for me, with the exception that it is NOT when I use EZPP. If I stick to waves and UA plug-ins, it just works and works, and works.

Not intended to be a wise-@ at all. However, I've had an 828 since the original, and OS X, and the MOTU stuff has been rock solid. The only problem I had was that one of the driver revisions [early], did not enable the footswitch.
