MOTU Universal Audio Install- OSX, 1.4.20

[Klaus]

This is what it says on the first page of the installer

FFT and Spectrogram display

for the mk3 series of MOTU Firewire Audio Interfaces

cheers

Question :
Do these new features take much power away on the dsp ?
can one see that on the dsp meter ?
Or only when these new features are engaged ?

Thanks

Klaus

I'm fairly sure that the signal analysis displays use the computer's CPU, not the interface's DSP. Open the oscilloscope window while viewing the spectrogram and FFT analysis on a pair of channels. The DSP meter level doesn't change.

Thanks 1nput0utput for this info

and best regards

Ever since I installed this version of the driver, all I get is high pitched beeps in all software I use, except for DP. DP works perfectly. Everything else produces nothing but errors. I unfortunately don't have the previous driver saved here either.

Thanks for that. I tried rolling back to 1.4.9 and still having same problem. Hmm, I am not sure what version I was using before. I had not updated it for a while, so its probably a few versions back that it was working. However I can't seem to figure out how to get those older versions from version tracker. Their links just keep going to motu's site and only showing the most current version, 1.4.20

Is nobody else experiencing this problem?

I don't think it is from the driver, sounds more like to much FW traffic resulting in the high tone...

The traveler works perfectly when I use Digital Performer. When I use any other audio application, it creates nothing but spaced out high pitched beeps. I've tried a number of standalone synths, including from NI and others, as well as Reaper and EnergyXT. None of them work with the traveler, but if I crank up DP, it works perfectly.

The other apps were all working perfectly a while back also. I can't really remember when was the last time they worked because I've mostly been working with DP for a while. But they did work before. It could have been a driver update. Maybe could have been update to 10.5.6, I really have no idea what else. All I know is that DP is the only app that can use the Traveler now. Everything else has to go through built-in speaker until I figure this out.

I found a solution, in case anyone in the future is having this problem:

According to what I found out from a Logic forum post, someone was having similar problems and MOTU instructed them to go into the MOTU Audio Setup dialog and change the Optical Output to None, then to ADAT, then back to None again.

I tried it and that fixed the problem completely.

NO FREAKIN' WAY!!! THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!!!!
It's been driving me completely NUTS for months, but I've been too busy to troubleshoot, so I've been bringing audio in from the out on my Mac into Analog 7-8 to monitor other software. This deserves a sticky, IMO, as it was hard to find. Thanks a TRILLION!!!
