Fixed!

The problem was power supply diodes. 4 of them have been changed, and now it's back in operation!

Hello, My 828 MK3 Hybrid now has a strange hardware failure: impossible to power it on. The LCD stays off. Instead, you can hear an electronic relay near the left Mic preamp doing a (mechanical) noise "klik klik klik" at a regular rhythm (~ 2 times per second), and you can also see the gre...

You can never match dBFS and dBu. Let's do this experiment: I play a 24-bit 96 Khz WAV file that is a 1Khz sinusoid peaking at 0 dBfs on the output of my MOTU 828 mk3. This is possible, is that right? Then the DAC (Digital to Analog converter) of the MOTU will convert this signal to an audio analog...

Hi (I didn't find the answer in the MOTU specifications). When playing a sine wave at 0 dBfs (full scale) to the XLR main output, which voltage (RMS) does it give? i.e. which dBu or dBV level does it give (NB: 0 dBV = 1.0 Vrms) Of course this depends of the internal DAC (digital to analog converter)...

Hi, I've been using MOTU audio interfaces for a decade (multiple MOTU 828 MK2 Firewire in ADAT, a MOTU 828 MK2 USB, etc.) on many different PCs. I now use a MOTU 828 MK3 Hybrid in USB, with a Windows 7 x64 PC. I have spent lots of hours of test before calling this a "driver bug", but here ...

For future reference: this seems to be solved nowadays, I haven't had this dialog since years (now: Windows 7 + 828 MK3 Hybrid)

Thanks for your answers. As far as your MIDI CueMix volume question, it's been discussed in several threads on this board - you should be able to find them with a search. I have found several topic about this subject. But I don't want exactly the same: i would like to be able to control the MOTU 828...

by the way, MIDI Life Crisis, would you have an idea for another question : is it possible to control MOTU 828's Main Output volume or Main Output Mute/Unmute with a MIDI controller or with a remote control?

This would be super helpful!

Thanks in advance

I never use a laptop. I'm not sure how you saw that as laughing at you, but it's not worth getting our knickers in a knot over. No harm, no foul. And yes, I haven't tackled such an interesting question since i went shopping last week and they asked if i wanted paper of plastic. OK, now I AM kidding...

Do you think it is possible to control the 828MK2 main volume with MIDI ?

It doesn't happen with every app that uses ASIO, but unfortunately it does for some and I don't know of any work-around at this point. It's been like this ever since I can remember. An annoyance, yes - but nothing is broken. Ok, so is it the same for you: When you launch an audio software that uses...

Sure, learn a couple of words: Thank you. (You're welcome.) Well, I haven't received your thank as well for having asked such an interesting question ;) PS: don't get offended, but when you told me "You have to uninstall the MOTU driver" , I thought you were laughing at me ;) Do you often...

If your project or system calls for it and it's not found, you'll get the error. This error happens every time i run an audio software that uses ASIO. I get this error EVEN if I have *never* selected the MOTU 828MK2 in this software. (=> the MOTU was NOT previously selected the last time I launched...

Hi,
Everytime I'm with my laptop, OUT of the studio (i.e. my MOTU 828MK2 is NOT connected), I get this annoying dialog box EVERY TIME I run an audio software... This is very annoying. Do you have an idea of how to get rid of this dialog box?



Thanks
