Re: PROBLEM SOLVED!! WINDOWS FREEZING/ DRIVER INSTALL

I followed Motu's instructions and bought a belkin firewire card with Texas Instrument chipset. I choose pci express because i have one express slot, so I thought! Very cool you found a solution. I've dealt with a bunch of these newer Inspirons and the PCIex16 and PCIex1 slots are sometimes not loc...

Judging by the recent drivers etc, it looks like they didn't made it far from Windows 2000... :roll: Heh! I cannot complain, my 828mkII is running great on my system and I have every sympathy for those having problems. However: MOTU is still the first and only company to ship comprehensive WDM supp...

So to confirm (in case I'm reading this incorrectly) DO NOT hook up something like a solo610, u5, radial (di or other) xlr to xlr!? Go with a line input? No. That was me not being able to read English and asked a silly question. Go ahead and use the XLR out of your DI into the XLR input of your MOT...

I've mentioned mine in this thread: http://www.motunation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28449 and the guy from Sweetwater that posts here recommends a card in that thread as well. As far as everything I've read, VIA chipset firewire interfaces are bad news. Not only for MOTU, but for just about every ot...

1nput0utput is absolutely right. Most DI's outputs "look like a mic" to the mic preamp and don't actually push enough signal to drive a +4dBu (or even -10 dBV) line level input anyway. Doh! Yes, I knew that....but a temporary synaptic disconnect prevented me from understanding that partic...

828mkII, Direct Box 600ohm output, Front Panel Pre's....

Sorry for all that in the title. What I'm asking is the MOTU manual says: "Do not connect a +4 (line level) XLR cable to the front panel inputs (because of the preamps). Use a rear-panel quarter-inch input instead." OK, I do all of my recording of electric bass with an Avalon U5 and someti...

I use this one from SIIG: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815150074 Has a TI chipset and works like a charm. I have the updates and they wont install because I hve sP3 installed. SP3 theoretically has the firewire "fix" included. See list of fixes here: http://support...

Transferring Registration for Used 828mkII

Many, many apologies if this has been discussed before. A search of all the forums here did not turn up any results that were of particular help. I am contemplating buying a used 828mkII from eBay and, being used, I am sure that the original owner will have registered the product with MOTU. Also, be...
