Thanks guys for GREAT info!

HI
the only way ive been able to control is via the Pro Audio Control interface (either via HTTP - in browser, or iOS app). Go to Mixer Tab

from MOTU Support: the e8Pre-ES will only send 48VPP via the XLR jacks. Once a TRS is inserted the connection disables PP and the input impedance is set @1MΩ for balanced/unbalanced inputs. I ended up building a drop snake using TRS and adding TRS>XLR adapter for the Inputs I wanted to dedicate as M...

follow up: last night I noticed that the ProAudio Control (via Safari) was freezing all the time, so while I was setting up the mixer section, I had to constantly re-load the page to be able to click buttons. the audio was uninterrupted even when the control app was freezing. (no firewall or blocke...

Thanks James , this was just the ticket I needed!!

I think my main hurdle was grasping the fact that there a "console mixer" inside the interface and the routing matrix I just a patchbay. getting to mixer tab was my ah-ha moment. having the manual was ok but using MOTU's https://motu.com/techsupport/technotes/avbrouting was the ticket! Tha...

I do think it should be available with the M2's loopback function (I mean, that's what it's for, isn't it?) But maybe there's some missing piece. Perhaps. The MOTU driver (MOTU M-Series Installer) needs to be installed to enable Loopback for the M2/4 on a Mac as Core Audio does not support it. Wind...

Yeah thats a bummer. IME, MOTU service has been great. I got my Traveller (2004) "repaired" (actually replaced) and even sent that replacement in for a 99$ service repair years later (2010? - the price was $79). And continued to use that same unit till this week when I upgraded. (...and th...

YES! yes, you can. I just got an 8Pre-ES and tried it out as USB, THB, and... for kicks after reading in the manual that "with THB Macs you can connect via an ethernet cable" I ran the 8Pre-ES to Mac via CAT6 all day. No issues but I'm only doing single or double tracks nothing huge. and I...

Until this week I was using a similar setup ( Traveler mk1 FW400 with a 2011 iMac) If you are still using the "old" MOTU Audio Setup when your 828 is connected... You'll need to open that app and check that you have the Default Outs set to Analog 1-2 (not 5-6) (IM sorry I can't post a pic ...

Many of the 8Pre-ES button have to be pressed several times and/or the response is delayed when using the iOS app. IS anyone see this, having same issue? Im wondering if its my unit or the app (I see the app has a low rating in the App Store- What ydo you guy think?) iOS 15 Discovery app via wifi Ma...

Thanks, will do. I guess im mainly curious about how to route the computer 1-2 (zoom, logic, app audio) to the phone jacks (1-2. 3-4) without it being in the 'main out' 1-2 which im using as a local mixer for instruments to the main out monitors. I think I need to use/learn aux mixing to get it wher...

ah, Thanks for the clarification. I just started working thru Part 2 of the Manual today- looking forward to getting into it!

HI new to the 8Pre-ES and trying to setup my work space for teaching (Zoom) and DAW. I need to learn/better understand the routing layout. IM trying to get my Zoom audio (on the Mac) to ONLY route to the monitor/Phones 1-2 jack, while my 8Pre (Input) only plays from my MAIN OUTS 1-2 (I hope that mak...
