Re: 828 Strange Days No Direct MIDI Control?

I'd like to use the 828 as a simple mixer under MIDI control without a computer. So my partner has a gig at the Albert Hall coming up. Two mics, stereo feed of the band, stereo replay and some cue mixes to the presenters, producer etc. Now tucking the 828 under your arm with just a MIDI controller i...

828 Strange Days No Direct MIDI Control?

Am I right in thinking that while you can control Cue Mix from a MIDI hardware controller, you cannot control an 828 (mine is a Mark III) directly from a MIDI hardware controller?Given that MOTU is a deeply MIDI company, that seems kind of strange to me, would be great to use the 828 is a simple mix...

No Texas, No Cry -2022 - 828mk3 firewire on Windows 10... so far!

For some obscure reason DP10 doesn't like my Marian PCIe audio interface, every other DAW is fine. So I thought I would buy a cheap old MOTU interface and get some digital I/O while I was at it. So I bought an 828mk3 and a Via chipset firewire card. I bought the Via based card after reading this- ht...

Re: MOTU Presonus AVB problems - Solved new firmware

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the pointer to the new driver, I assume the new firmware will come eventually. Interoperability is good news for everyone in AVB world.

Hi, I've just reinstalled MacOS and I headed over the MOTU to download the DP10 installer but can't find it! My account has the DP10 registration details including serial and all the extras but no option to redownload DP10. I feel I must be missing something... apart from DP10 that is!? Pointers app...

Re: Applying Effects to a single soundbite

Thank Tritonemusic - chapter and verse is much appreciated. My slight disappointment is that the process is not real time. Which to be fair the manual is very upfront about on page 898- FILE-BASED PLUG-IN PROCESSING File-based processing does not occur in real time. Still I'm better informed than I ...

Applying Effects to a single soundbite

Can I apply an effect or processing on a soundbite by soundbite basis rather on a track by track basis? It was a killer feature in Samplitude back in the day and I've just discovered that Studio One has this functionality, I'm hoping I've overlooked a technique in DP10?

Re: AVB or ADAT for linking two interfaces?

You get your audio either way. But AVB has some advantages. Single Cat5 cable up to 100m from your other interface. And say the Ultralite is plugged into your computer over USB and the 8A into the Ultralite over AVB, you have access to routing and mixing options on your 8A over the AVB connection us...

Re: MP3 Turns into WAV Upon Import

Hi Aaron, I think all 'proper' DAWs convert compressed formats in order to work with them. This I think is to get round the issues of the way file compression works. I'm no expert at all but I think often compression works by having a mixture of full fat audio frames (called I-Frames) with all the i...

Re: Building a 64 input system

If you are using standard sample rates it looks like the standard USB 2 connection to your 16A will be just enough. From the MOTU tech specs page for the 16A Thunderbolt (44.1 to 96 kHz): 128 in/out Thunderbolt (176.4 to 192 kHz): 64 in/out USB 2.0 (44.1 to 48 kHz): 64 in/out USB 2.0 (88.2 to 96 kHz...

Re: Building a 64 input system

Hi Mike - I don't have a 16A or an 8Pre or an 828 MK3 but I have a 112D and a suggestion - so pinch of salt... First set all your boxes to the same sample rate and select internal clock on 16A-1, see below. Connect one 16A (call it 16A-1) to your new Mac over Thunderbolt. This link can carry (MOTU c...
