I've been doing this for several years. Daisy chain all three 8 pre's computer to firewire in of #1 and then #1 to #2 and #3 to #3.
In digital performer under audio interface you will need to make sure you have all three selected.

Re: Plug-In High Pitch Screaming Noise???
For the life of me I can't figure it out and I agree something with the AU deep inside DP has an issue. The new cabinet simulator and guitar plugins in DP7 crash when launched too.

Re: Plug-In High Pitch Screaming Noise???
I've never used cuemix, would that cause this?? I actually havn't turned on DP7 in quite a few days because this is frustrating me.

Plug-In High Pitch Screaming Noise???
I have had this problem with some projects I've been working on lately and I can't quite figure out which plug-in is causing this, or maybe someone out there has had a similiar problem. I open a project and it loads fine. When I press play I get a loud high pitch squeel from my main outs and I have ...

Re: 2 B3 or Not 2 B3? That is the Question.
I have a Hammond C3 & 122 Leslie setup here in my studio and I can say it's hard to weigh in when you've played the real beast, but I would have to say that if you are going to be using B3 sounds as filler in a track the Virtual Instrument may be the easiet option, but for a real player physical...

Slow DP Startup anyone?
My DP 6.01 has been starting up pretty slow...As soon as the project opens and all windows pop up, all the faders go to maximum height and hang there for about a minute with the mac "spinning ball of death" and then I am able to playback the project. Is this normal or should the project op...

Re: DP 6.01 Strange Behavior
I had the same thing happen when I was tracking some live gigs and I fixed it by having the host buffer multiplier set to "3" since I was using 3 MOTU 8pres. Seems wen this got switched somehow back to 1 it was creating the same thing you've got going on. The waveforms were drawn correctly...

Thanks
Yes I dove into the manual for DP 6.0 and realized that I had changed the host buffer multiplier from 3-1 don't know why I did that, but works like a charm...only thing is now I need my band to have some better live performances so I don't feel like I'm wasting my time recording them.

3x8pre not working...
I'm currently trying to run 3 8pres with my macbook pro dual 2.0 ghz 2 gig ram to record some live gigs. I keep getting processor overload which puts digital noise (kind of pink noise sounding) on all the tracks after a couple of songs. The waveforms look fine on screen. I'm only using this setup to...

Congrats...
I spent about a month trying to get my 424e card to work in my new macpro and wound up sending it back and buying 3 896's. I just couldn't have my studio not working any longer. I'm glad you got yours to work...I would have rather had the 24 i/o instead.
