Hi- I want to use my MOTU 828ES for my DAC on my home stereo. I'm bringing the signal into the MOTU using TOSLINK. But I'm not sure which MOTU output to use to go to the stereo AUX IN -- Analog Outputs? Main Outputs? Headphone Output? Sends outputs? Thanks for any help on this.

Thats an excellent answer. Thank you.

I'm transferring some old analog four track cassette recorders into Reaper and I'm trying to decide whether I should be using the analog in's (line inputs) on my Motu 828ES or the mic/instrument/line input's on my Motu 8M. 1. Do the mic/instrument/line inputs color the signal at all? 2. Does the lin...

I figured it out... turns out after a couple of hours of trying to figure it out, the solution was to reboot the computer.

I can't figure out how to change the block size in the MOTU 8M's DEVICE page. In the CONFIGURATION area there is no where to change block size... help?

ah not feasible. I'm going to put reverb on in my DAW but was hoping that I could do it with the Motu mixer. Alas!

MIDI life, I'm not doing a recording. Its a live project. So I'm not sure what doing it in post means in a live context.

thanks for the replies. im working on a live project. not recorded. there's a 10 guitars that go into the motu and into the DAW. I need them to stay separated so I wanted to keep the reverbs out of a joined bus. I also was hoping to do the reverb outside of the DAW so I don't contribute to latency a...

Cool, I'm going into the DAW and then out to the amps. Wasnt planning on using an amp simulator in the DAW but that might be fun to play around with. So you think I need a DI into Mic Pre's for that?

Is there a way to put the reverb in motu's mixer section on ten different channels (in my 16A) without having the reverbs from those channels blended? I want the 10 channels original sounds and reverb sounds to remain independent of each other.

HCMarkus, thanks for the reply. I fixed my problem. The signal flow had me confused.

instrument > interface > DAW > interface > amp

I didn't have the correct connections made in the routing matrix so they weren't showing up in my DAW. Thanks again.

I'm doing this music project where I have 10 electric guitars going into my DAW and I want to use the Motu 16A. Since the 16A only has Line Level inputs, I know that the electric guitars will need a piece of gear before they go into the Motu interface (and into the computer.) Do I need DIs, preamps,...

Are these units Thunderbolt 1 or Thunderbolt 2?

828ES
828X
16A

Thank you!

I just got a 828 ES. I have 10 inputs (2 mic/line/instr + 8 line in.) I can easily get 8 independent signals out of the box and back into my DAW. But I want 10. I don't want to link up via Adat etc. I'm looking for a clever way to route the last signals out. Maybe via the headphones, main outs, or t...
