Hello,
I just got a Motu 828 interface and I was looking forward to use it as I heard so many good things about their stuff... well right now it seems I will stay with my E-MU 1820;)
I downloaded their win7-64 driver package, and I switched the 1394 drivers to legacy... well playback works, in ASIO and windows applications, but when I try to get an analog input into the computer, I just get noise that's exactly at peak, and when I speak into a mic I hear myself like I'm speaking through a fuzz pedal or something. However, the direct monitoring works fine, so the pres are ok.
Did anyone have similar experiences? Am I missing something or do you habe a clue? I hope there's some way to fix this!
Cheers, Volki
PS: It's exactly the same with Asio4all and Wave input stuff!

Which mic exactly?
You might have to play with the trim and/or pad, and if it's a condenser mic, apply 48v phantom power.
Check Cuemix so that you aren't doubling (or more) your signal through multiple mix buses.

Thanks for the answer!
It's an AKG D-5, I just used the first I found;) But also with no mic connected I get the noise, on all the analog channels. Well I can't open the cuemix, it tells me that no compatible devices are connected, but the control panel works. Maybe the AD-converter is broken or something? As I already mentioned my voice was extremely overdriven, maybe some hardware fault causes the gain to be extremely high? The noise could be noisefloor then...
