Trim knobs not working? 828 mk3.

Post by stratblue »

Hi All.

I'm plugging a bass into the mic/inst socket on the front and I was under the impression that the trim knob would boost the level of the signal however it doesn't seem to do anything, am I mistaken or is my 828 mk 3 broken? Maybe it's connected with the blank screen that has developed recently. I bought it new a few years ago and it's been well looked after, anyone got any solutions?

Thanks.

Check with MOTU tech support - they'll give you a couple of things to try, but I had the same issue with the trim controls a while back and had to send in for repair.

What about CueMix? Have you tried the trim there?
