Sorry I didn't explain my situation correctly. The motu is working via firewire. I've been using it like that for some time and I have no issues. I'm just wondering if there is any benefit to connecting it via optical? Aahh... so they don't play nice together the mac and motu optical. Is there an op...

Hi everybody! I have optical Out on the 8pre going into the In of the mac pro. The Out of the mac into the In on the pre. I'm assuming thats how it goes. Nothing seems to change anywhere when I do this.. .as in I don't see the optical inputs to be selected anywhere in my software (ableton live). It ...

Thanks for that.

As it turns out it did infact blow the power and all I needed to do was switch the glass fuse on the inside.

It's alive!!!!!

yeah thats pretty bad. i can imagine your faith in motu has diminished. how are you supposed to feel when you think you're about to get an ugrade and it actually makes your machine inoperable? I think the fair and intelligent thing to do on their side is fix it for free, but more then that, compensa...

Mbox2 usb. Which was alright at first. But then I upgraded to Leopard and it appears Apple demented the USB setup and could no longer get a smooth recording plus Pro Tools wouldn't load. I used to run a powerbook setup (now iMac) and I bought the mbox for that. Problem is, they fudged the power conf...

Well after hearing a couple audio electricians at this store I went to tell me its silly of me to think a glass fuse would be inside these "cheap modern audio interfaces" he said, I was really disappointing thinking it was just going to be a computer inside with nothing a simpleton like me...

I took it to a technician... he said "I doubt it has a fuse in it..." he wanted me to book it in and wait till next week. So I went to Dick Smiths and opened up a couple of packets of alan keys to find the right size... bingo... in the car, I opened it up, and hello behold, a glass fuse!.....

I'm excited!! Thanks heaps... a ray of hope

I hit a wall at the alan keys... off to the handy store and electrician.

I'm currently in qld, south east coast. Really want to come and check out the pristine NZ. Must be cold there at the moment though

I'll let you know how I go. thanks again.

The seller told me he transfered it to my name. I also registered it on the site and submitted a techlink. Fingers crossed they will respond! I'm in Oz so catching them in the hours they are open is a challenge too. It has never powered up since I've had it. I am wondering if I may have fried the po...

I just got it in the last week. 2nd hand though. The seller said it is still under warranty before I bought it. I've been trying to contact both the seller and motu and neither are answering to either phone or email. Feeling pretty screwed. I've tried every reset to defaults thing there is. No 'D' t...

Any luck whitehouse?? My 8pre isn't turning on - wondering if you worked out how to solve this...

I installed the disc before considering it wasn't working. Then I figured I needed the driver update before it would work on my leopard. The software says there is no device. I tried alternative firewire cables... alternative power cables. Nothing. Is it considered to be 'on' when the power switch i...

Maybe I am missing something entirely but I just got my 8pre in the mail and when I plug in the power no lights turn on. That button on the right side - is that the power switch? Its not documented anywhere it seems... just a magical button without mention. Anyways, are any lights supposed to come o...
