Andrew, Thank you for your kind offer. I have solved my problem after almost a month of frustration, trying this, that, and the other thing; listening to MOTU tell me it would work when it really wouldn't. I returned all 4 of the items to my dealer, who graciously took them back because they neither...

What are you using for a master word clock? Brad, I don't know if you were asking lemon or me or someone else, but I have tried ALL of the word clock options in the MOTU control panel to try to get 2, 3, or all 4 of my 8Pre's to stay locked. Nothing works! This is all on a clean WinXP install with ...

Try hitting the Reset button in the Cubase output section under Device Setup. That should reset the output list that sometimes get stuck.

Ignore the post I made a few days ago. I still can't get more than one 8Pre to reliably stay in sync. The front panel LED's of the 2nd one don't flash at me, but now that I am passing audio through I get stutters and shrieks on it. I'm looking for another solution now, and MOTU's credibility is pret...

Lemon,
See my new message post relating how I finally had success running 4 8Pre's. The secret seemed to be 2 things: WinXP Service Pack 1, and a PCI Firewire card (not the motherboard FW port).

Hope it helps!

After days of frustration, I found a combination of factors that gave me success with my 4 8Pre's today! Here's what I had to do to make it happen: MOTU said they didn't support WinXP SP2, but did support multiple interfaces with SP1. I found an old WinXP install disk that was SP1, and did a fresh f...

Well, I had success with my 4 8Pre's today! Here's what I had to do to make it happen: MOTU said they didn't support WinXP SP2, but did support multiple interfaces with SP1. I found an old WinXP install disk that was SP1, and did a fresh format and clean install. After all that, I had the same issue...

I purchased 4 8Pre's only to find that 2 or more would not sync up. I scoured the forum, MOTU Tech Notes, applied or checked every solution I could find recommended, and still no luck. I put in a Techlink w/MOTU last Thursday, but to date have not heard anything. Yesterday Matt in tech support at Sw...

I am new to this forum, but have used MOTU audio interfaces for many, many years. I have been very pleased with them, which is why I bought an HD192 about a year ago. The fan was noisy from the beginning, but after a year seems to be getting even worse. It's a drag to purchase their top end piece an...
