I was completely wrong. I tried using the 8pre USB as an audio interface instead of the 828mkii (duh!). The freezes and crashes came back, meaning that either both interface units had the same hardware issue or there was instead something wrong with USB somewhere else in the system. I use a Matriarc...

Swapping the 828mkii FireWire for the 828mk3 Hybrid resolved the issue. No more freezing or non-responsiveness. Logic Pro and Performer Lite are running the way they should, as in they're running at all lol.. Sending the 828mk3 back for another one that unlike this one, isn't bad right out the box. ...

If you're running a Mac Studio and everything is working, then it should work for me since our setups are identical: running the Mac v89555 audio driver and Logic Pro, except I'm using an 828mk3 Hybrid. That is great information to have: this setup can work. I thought any likely software conflicts w...

Unfortunately, it isn't old drivers or remnants of apps. I've erased and reinstalled macOS on the Mac Studio several times chasing a solution, to no avail. Last night I went to the extreme of putting it in DFU mode, connecting another Mac, and then running a full restore. This is usually done only i...

It's gotten to the point that I can't use Logic Pro and my synth modules anymore because the MOTU software and hardware is so unstable. Tonight I had to reboot eight times. The longest I went without freezing up was about 20 minutes. It's been like this for months with nothing even approaching a sol...

I would've bought a 828ES when my old 828mkii started to go out. But they were impossible to get because of parts shortages so I had to go with the 828mk3 Hybrid. I kind of get the feeling that the ES boxes have better drivers for newer Macs.

I've been changing out Apple and MOTU hardware and the new system been less than dependable to say the least. The old system: Mac Pro (2010) macOS Mojave MOTU MIDI Express 128 MOTU 828mkii The current system: Mac Studio M1 macOS Ventura MOTU MIDI Express XT MOTU 828mk3 Hybrid MOTU 8pre The old set u...

I've now found that while CueMix FX runs normally for a while, after a few minutes it starts to beach ball again and a restart or power off/power on of the Mac is required. So what I've been doing is starting the Mac, launching CueMix FX right away and changing whatever settings I need to change, qu...

I had a support ticket submitted to MOTU. They told me to swap cables and try a hub. Nothing about different versions of macOS. They need to get these drivers fully updated for Ventura since they say as of 10/24/2022 on their website "The USB and Hybrid interface models listed below are fully c...

After a week of failed attempts, I finally got Audio Setup and CueMix FX to work in Ventura: Make sure your audio interface is disconnected from the computer. Create a bootable USB flash drive for installing Monterey per https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372 . Erase the internal drive on the Mac....

Just bought a 828mk3 Hybrid. I'm using it with a new M1 Mac Studio that has a fresh install of macOS Ventura 13.2.1. When MOTU Audio Setup or CueMix FX are launched, they become unresponsive after a few seconds. Any attempt to change a control in Cuemix FX results in a spinning beach ball. If I forc...
