When trying to turn the Audio Express of via the usual method of holding the power button, it counts down 3,2,1 but instead of turning off, keeps going to the d which of course resets it to factory!!! Normally done by also holding the Mic 1 knob in at the same time. The only way I can turn it off is...

I am having lots of trouble trying to figure out exactly how Cuemix is supposed to control the volume levels of the Audio Express...when NONE of the software controls in Cuemix make any difference.. The whole idea of the Express was to use as a live mixer as well as in the studio, but any setup I tr...

That's odd that it is reporting the same USB error when reporting on a USB port....afaik usb3 drivers only work on dedicated usb3 ports..a usb2 port should be using the default W7/chipset driver....

Sorry if this sounds too simple or dumb, or if you have already tried - but there are known industry wide issues with the backward compatibility with the USB 3 spec. Yes it IS supposed to be fully compatible, but in the real world it is not. It is certainly an issue for the MOTU USB which will cause...

Just to clarify, your inquiry was posted on the 28th of October and answered on the 31st. I count 3 days there :wink: Cheers, Lorne :lol: I stand corrected Lorne :sorry: ...certainly seemed longer, but then the time delays between USA and Oz can make things seem longer somehow!! Yes three days is o...

The GSR is a grossly underrated speaker btw - It is M-audio gear so it was a surprise that they sound so good. I have used many MANY, speaker systems over the years, including the much vaunted Bose L1 system...the GSR's are the first system I have taken out of the box, plugged everything in started ...

Already have them

On my Ultralite output from a computer application (your backing track) can only be directly connected to an output pair. So you would need to preset a level in your app(s) and mix your vox and keys on top of that. In this instance probably have enough spare I/O to loop back your USB into an input ...

Oh and zbf, they are the M-Audio GSR 12's.

And thanks for the tip on s/pdif cool!

:lol: No zbf they are powered speakers!! I have been playing live gigs for about 25 years, so I think I have learned how to tell the difference :wink: And yes it is what they said, and I quote: Thank you for contacting MOTU. Yes, this is possible, however it depends largely on the specifications of ...

Thanks dewdman :) yeah it was getting confusing hey!!! Oh by the way MOTU tech FINALLY got back to me..... They said the main outs are fine to drive FOH powered speakers as long as they have an impedance of 100ohms or less. Which covers pretty much everything out there as most are 4 or 8ohm impedanc...

I "get" it, I perfectly understand what you are trying to do. I am just trying to point to you what are cons for using that type of setup live. That is why I said in my post above: Basically you have two points of failure - computer and motu. In your case both are showstoppers. I am tryin...

Basically you have two points of failure - computer and motu. In your case both are showstoppers. For me computer is just a "remote surface" for cuemix (ok and for recording just because I can do it). However if the computer crashes the show still goes on. If MOTU crashes (or dies like on...

Thanks
