Answer 1

i guess i should try and be more specific:
i am going from a MBP thru to the MOTU using firewire. i see the MOTU's output meters moving only on the analog (main) outputs. i've connect the AES/EBU port via an XLR cable to the DAT machine. the DAT machine when i switch to digital in just blinks. i see no meters moving on the MOTU's AES/EBU outputs. i've run the audio setup, and regardless of whether the default output is set to AES/EBU or Main Out 1-2 the meters don'T move wheh i play the song.
if i set the clock source from "internal" to "AES/EBU" and start LP8 i get the clock LED on the MOTU blinking and LP8 gives me a message "Error while trying to synch Audio and MIDI" window.
i don't know what else to try. is there a way to just transfer the stereo mix over to the DAT another way? thx
