896mk3 track naming

Klaus · Post by **Klaus** » Mon Jul 07, 2008 1:51 pm

doesn't work...
but works with CueMix FX for Mac...
Anybody knows a workaround to get the track names changed in CueMix FX / Windows ?
Thanks

Windows doesn't support audio I/O port naming, which is why you can change the I/O port names in CueMix FX. Mac OS X does support this feature.

Thanks for reply

So it's up to MotU to program it

I have to use a Win laptop for remote and don't want to take another
box ( Mac ) on the road...

No. Windows can only display the audio I/O port names that are published to the OS by the interface driver. Mac OS X has a feature where it can display either the port names published by the driver or custom names specified by the user. In order for this to work under Windows, Microsoft would have to add such a feature.

Sorry to ask,
couldn't this be an option in the driver settings ?

Thanks

This is the most retarded thing ever. How hard is it for MOTU to just put a little text box into the CueMixFX GUI next to each channel that allows the user to write whatever text they want? Who cares if it's linked to the audio driver ports? It doesn't have to be this complicated.

Also why does MOTU think that it's a good idea to limit the horizontal size of the new CueMix window? Are they still using 17" CRT monitors in their office?

If you look close at the lower right bottom, and are lucky, there is a drag point, I've managed to enlarge it to include all of the channels.

Yep, you can only get about 10 inputs to show at a time. It's not really good for a pro user who is trying to see what's going on from across the control room.

Nope: I normally turn off what is not used but for this test I activated all the ADAT channels A&B. I've got a Wide screen monitor and managed to pull them all out. Full access

I'm not a Windows spezi, but maybe it depends on monitor / screensize

I'm facing the same issue here. Since I use almost every connection incl ADAT A&B and also have five different mixes it's a real confusion. I struggle with this all the time.
I also use the MOTU in my band when we play live and man is it ••••ed up... Try to adjust something quick and at the same time stay focused playing on stage... good luck!

If MOTU can find a way around this I'm gonna get rid of it.

So, PLEASE all MOTU representants!!! do something for us to be able to put an label on each channel.

You bet, I have done mine!

Surprising how you can make such a complex piece of gear and leave out fundamental stuff like window resize and channel custom label.

The fact that you can rename the signal on the MAC is still not enough in my mind...you want BOTH the signal name as it is on the equipment for easy connection PLUS a custom label to remember what you are doing with this input/output.
