Re: Why are real tech specs missing on all MOTU gear?

Well, specs are always made with the caveat "All specifications are subject to change without prior notice" HOWEVER, a downloadable version of their MANUAL could very well iron out issues to see if it's possible to do this or that, and HOW you go about it. If it's simpler or more intuitive...

Re: Why are real tech specs missing on all MOTU gear?

and so I have (last week) still waiting for reply. They would minimize support mails on this, if they had this already in manuals or out in the site. Everybody else does this, but why not MOTU?!

Re: Why are real tech specs missing on all MOTU gear?

It is very reminiscent of old multitrack tapes when any sync code had to be maxxed out to 0 db on one track and could be overheard on adjacent tracks. I'm not taking issue with your general thread at all, but I have to say that I found that the trick with striping longitudinal SMPTE on an analog mu...

Re: Motu support is unable to provide Motu 828mk3 specification!

But I still want it listed, and detailed specs, even Power consumption are of my interest. Power consumption info is on page II of the manual. Yeah, I saw that too, AC INPUT at the bottom of the page. Not on page II though. Tells me nothing really. It differs - perhaps - from US manuals and Europea...

Re: Why are real tech specs missing on all MOTU gear?

Yes I both hear and see crosstalk. I can see them on as low db peaks, and when removed, (SMPTE code or cV signal) it disappears and the meters calms down to -96 db or whatever. It is very reminiscent of old multitrack tapes when any sync code had to be maxxed out to 0 db on one track and could be ov...

Re: Motu support is unable to provide Motu 828mk3 specification!

Look folks, he's not alone in on this. I understand his frustration, and his juvenile posting/mailing. One can get mad for less... ALL OTHER manufacturers lists their tech specs on their site . MOTU has absolutely no info whatsoever inside the manual, or on their site. I've bought a brand new 828mk3...

Why are real tech specs missing on all MOTU gear?

Discovered the following recently. Having obtained a MOTU 828mk3 interface, I scrutinized downloaded things, the manual and online specs about it, but can't find any Technical Specifications on it. On all others, say M-AUDIO, TC Electronic, RME, PreSonus, Focusrite et al there are at least at the en...

Re: 828 Mk3 - even prior installation problems on PC part 3

Thank you! Now, after bickering for a week at the music shop, they finally got in another unit, and had to COMPARE those two first before they made a final judgement. Mine was erroneous. To the extent that it crashed and hanged my computer beyrond bootability. On the mfwave.sys file or something. Th...

Re: 828MK3 Install with Windows XP SP3

I've scrutinized the net, and it seems that more and more electronics manufacturer of ANY kind has the following stance: It is up to the customer to detect quality issues, and report them back AFTER they occured. Especially in portable electronics industry, like cell phones and so on. According to s...

Re: 828MK3 Install with Windows XP SP3

No, still can't upgrade firmware. Same error.
Why do we have to resort to third party software in order to fix something that MOTU should be able to fix?
I can't think that warranty will still apply if you donwload anything that aint authorized by MOTU.

XP SP3 I have.

Re: 828MK3 Install with Windows XP SP3

Seriously, you (they) must be f****in kidding? Can't even think to dwell into that. It's so lame. They better produce and send out an uninstall program immediately, that does all this for you, or else they will be left behind. No wonder why RMEs FW gear still rules after 4 years. As for MOTU 828mk3,...

828 Mk3 - even prior installation problems on PC part 3

Hi there! Newbie here. Long post ahead, but I really have to spill out all info in one go, so it turns out quite a lot! Have searched the forum but haven't really found anything that resembles the following issue, I had last wednesday when just installing the CD that came with my MOTU 828 mk3: Follo...
