No Input Showing [Solved]

Post by frabato17 »

I've set this up the same in Reaper. Input 1 and Stereo Out. I get no signal whatsoever in DP. It's crashing when I even open it with the following error:

Digital Performer has encountered an error

Internal error: a connection was made that formed a feedback loop

(MotuAudioSystem Mas MasModule.cpp, 485 [19:0])

Please help, I've spent 500 dollars on something that's so far not usable. I'll have to go back to Reaper. My bundle is the same as Reaper also, Input 1 and Outputs 3 and 4. I'm getting no signal in Input 1, but it still works on Reaper.

Thank you in advance.

As DP is telling you, you've got an internal feedback loop.

Look at DP's Bundles window. Create and Name your Inputs, Outputs and Buses so you can easily identify them and route things properly to and from your interface and within DP.

DP actually does work. Here's to getting it sorted ASAP!

You can set up a call with MOTU Tech Support if you need more assistance.

Thanks, I'm not sure why renaming them would make a difference. It's only one track so it isn't confusing, but I will give it a try and if that doesn't work I'll set something wth MOTU tech (I forgot about that). Thanks again for the suggestions. I'll mark this solved as soon as I get it working and I'll post the solution in case anyone else is having a similar issue.

The naming won't make a difference until you need to figure routing out... then it makes life far better. In my studio, I run a MOTU 828ES and have a pretty complex routing setup. Naming the 828 I/O publishes this info to DP, which is also a big help. Within DP itself, you may want to set up various buses for FX sends and other purposes; naming them makes working much easier.

Main point is look to the Bundles in DP and confirm your routing.

My apologies everybody. It seems I tried everything besides hitting the record button. I'm getting treated for ammonia right now, so my brain's going a little slow. Thank you all for your help.
