Dear all,
i'm a newcomer to the world of MOTU........recently i bought a MOTU 1296 and am trying ever since to sync it with Nuendo on my computer...........i have attached it via firewire to PCI 324.........but every time nuendo opens, it does the ASIO check and shows a lot of sync lost..............where have i gone wrong?............isn't PCI 324 supposed to sync it to Nuendo automatically or am i wrong here?.............pls help as i really need to get this set up and running asap...........a band is on the pipeline for recording, a customer in short...............my system is a intel dual core 2.6 processor and i have 2 gig ram in it............a detailed do this and not that would be very helpful................

Is this the sync test that runs when launching Nuendo - like when one installs a new sound card?

That sync test usually verifies against the cheap onboard sound card. If your motherboard has on board sound, make sure the drivers are installed for the on board sound card and let the sync test verify that sound card. This is more of an internal sync thing that I have never been able to make work if trying to verify sync to my MOTU.

For example, my sync test checks sync to my on board sound blaster. If this test passes I get proper sync to the MOTU as well.

The Sync test as noted above pretains to the onboard motherboard.
You can say no to the question of whether to run it safely.
Once Neundo comes up, switch the asio device to the MOTU ASIO driver in devices VST Audio something or other.
