windows 7/first gen traveler/waveRT/3.6.8.1400

Post by eyeknow »

It would appear that using waveRT (which are activated after install) on my motu traveler, that there are some improvements.

The latency is no longer as bad. I'm getting about 3.2ms in and about 4.3 out at 96 buffer/44.1 Oddly though, 64 is not listed as an option
Recording in cubase 4.5.2 mic, bass, guitar has worked with wireless connection going, something you could not do before.
So far, I have not gotten the "beeeeep....click click..........beeeep" problem that has plagued motu users for so long
Also, seems more stable and operates more as an integrated device as opposed to a 3rd party reject just trying to keep up :lol:

It's still early in the testing, but maybe there is a light at the end of the motu tunnel.......

Hi:

There were some issues reported by users using the 3.6.8.1400 driver.

Do you have the issue where ASIO outputs are shifted (so that out 1/2 is out 3/4, out 3/4 is out 5/6 etc.) in your DAW software? For me if I set a track in my DAW software to output to phones 1-2, I get
sound out of out 7-8 instead. This issue may only be with the UltraLite mk3.

Another issue I have when using the .1400 driver is that I get no S/PDIF output (though the S/PDIF input works).

To slove both of these issues, I had to use the 3.6.8.1394 driver, instead. However, I loose the CueMix FX new features:

1) "updated version of CueMix FX, the cross-platform software application that gives users graphic, on-screen access to the many mixing and processing features in their mk3 interface. The CueMix FX software update provides three new advanced diagnostic tools for visual analysis of individual audio signals and entire mixes: a real-time FFT graph, a Spectrogram “waferfall” display, and an Oscilloscope. This CueMix FX software update enables these new tools for owners of all currently shipping MOTU “mk3” FireWire audio interfaces, including the 828mk3, 896mk3, UltraLite-mk3 and Traveler-mk3."

2) "If you own a "mk3" MOTU FireWire audio interface, you also now own a powerful oscilloscope, which graphs the amplitude of an audio signal in real time. This allows you to see audio waveforms dynamically, rather than in the frozen state we usually see them as recorded audio. But how can you put an oscilloscope to good use in your day-to-day recording and music-making activity? Watch the new CueMix FX Oscilloscope movie to find out."

It's been about 2 mothns since the .1400 drivers have been posted for download. The issue with the shifted outputs has been reported by users and confirmed by MOTU tech support, yet no new drivers are available for download, yet!

I wish they would hurry up and post good new drivers!
May a song always touch you in a possitive way!

this is a first gen traveler, about 3 years old, I don't have access to the dsp stuff so I can't comment on that.

Geez though, they need to get it together and get everyone working!
