I don't care how good MOTU's products...here's how it should be: APOGEE ELECTRONICS CORPORATION warrants this product to be free of defects in material and manufacture under normal use for a period of 12 months. The term of this warranty begins on the date of sale to the purchaser. Units returned fo...

Some of you suggested I contact MOTU. I didn't need to since the point of purchase (Steve's Music) gladly replaced the unit for me. I see from MOTU's web site they don't have a toll free number. More $$ down the tube. I emailed motu tech support regarding a firmware update for the 8PRE that keeps cr...

Sorry if my rant offended some you. I haven't yet dealt with MOTU directly, so I had no idea how they would have handled my particular situation. In theory, MOTU has no obligation to me and my hardware purchase after just 3 months. I was shocked to discover that they only offer a 3 month warranty on...

Just found out that my recently purchased (April 2008) 8Pre that mysteriously died is no longer covered under warranty. Fortunately, I purchased the unit on store financing. They gave me a new (replacement) unit. But what a shock, had I not purchased on store plan, I'd be out $600. Why is MOTU's har...

Doesn'T your 8Pre comes with audio desk? That's way better than GB for recording. No MIDI though... Yes, the 8Pre came with AudioDesk. I don't really need MIDI actually. Keyboard is going analog (stereo). I've just installed it. Looks like I'll have to read the manual ;-( So what can you tell me ab...

There are settings in the MOTU Audio Setup in addition to Audio MIDI Setup

See: Applications -> Utilities -> Audio MIDI Setup

Let me know if that does or doesn't work.

My mistake. Garageband can only do 24/44. Time to move to a real sequencer application.

I wasn't able to select a higher bitrate for recording. The MOTU audio setup displays drop down menu shows all options but when I select 96000 it reverts back to 44100.

Setup, iMac 20", 4 gigs or RAM, external Firewire HD. Garageband.

depending on style , you have several options, a basic setup could be: 1 kick 2 snare 3 overhead L 4 overhead R 5 bass DI (straight into the 8 pre evt) 6 guitar mic 7 keys (straight in) 8 vocals or: you could use just one overhead (mono drums) and have keys stereo, or: have just one mic on the drum...

I'm new to the forum and recording in general. Up until now I've been doing basic stereo recording with M-Audio Firewire Solo. I just purchased an MOTU 8Pre. Here's the rest of my hardware config: iMac 20" 2.16 GHz, 3 gigs of RAM, external 7200rpm, 160 gig Firewire HD. Garageband (Until I can a...
