I did buy a MOTU 24I/O with DP 4.6 as software, the problem is that when playing some tracks on my Soundtracs Solitare mixer I get a to loud output. The mixer has an input level of +4dBu, what I'm doing wrong???
Please help...
VU meters going bananas...

Sure about the +4dBu? I'm working with a 24 i/o and a Soundtracs Quartz and everything is fine. (0 dBFS on interface about +10 dBu on Console)
So are you talking about Peak or VU? Is the Channel Clipping? Try to switch the 24 i/o to -10dBV in the PCI Audio Console. If it's better than, the Solitaire might be jumpered to -10 dBV. Check it.

Sorry, I'm tolking about peaks...
I did try to switch to -10 dBV in PCI console the but not changes, I get the same result.
Do you have any other ideas. I'm very confused...

Hm... strange indeed. I'm not so familiar with the Solitaire but I think it might be very similar to the Quartz.
Problem must be on Mixer... th 24 i/o won't blow out 56dBu
Connected to Tape Return I/P ?
Is this happening on all Channels?
How did the Console work before / which gear?
On the Quartz the Tape- Return Level is set with two jumpers. Haven't got the Tech Manual here... I think there can be problems if these are set wrong. So... check the jumpers.
You can mail me your settings- I'm sure we can get this.
P.S.: Nice one, the Solitaire!

Hi schwarz, I think the problem is as follow:
Normal when you insert a mic into the mixer line, the signal goes thru the mic gain/line control, when inserting a cd-player into 2tracks the signal goes also thru the mic/line gain control, BUT... when you use TAPE 1-40 the signal doesn't goes thru the gain control, it goes direct to the EQ section and bypass the gain control. Means, you have not gain control.
