Logic losing contact with MOTU 828 (Mk I)

Ever since installing Logic 7.1, Once or twice a session, Logic stops talking to my Motu 828 (Mk I). I'll be playing something back, or getting ready to record, and the Motu just goes quiet - no signal indicators. If I restart the Motu, the sound comes back, so not the biggest problem in the world, but sure is annoying. I've gotten rid of, then re-installed the Motu drivers, and that doesn't seem to help.
There have been a few posts about new 828s dropping out, but nothing as intermittent as this. Any ideas?
Dual 1.25 G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   Logic 7.1 MOTU 828 Mk I

I had this problem with my Motu 828 (mk I) and my previous Imac G4 (700 mhz). Sometimes it could dropout 3-4 times during a session, sometimes it did not happen for several weeks. Buying a new firewirecable instead of the one Motu supplied made the problem be less frequent.
I came to the conclusion that it was probably a defect firewireconnection on my Imac G4.
Since I bought my new Imac G5 in november the dropouts has disappered.
Suggestion: test your 828 with another mac to see if the problems go away.

  • Logic X audiodropout with MOTU 828 X

    Machine: Macbook Pro 2,5 GHz i7, 16GB Ram, 512Gb SSD. Oktober 2014
    Software LOGIC X
    System: Mavericks, Yosemite
    Hardware: MOTU 828 X, MOTU 8pre USB
    Kabel: Thunderbolt, USB
    Hi, I'm experiencing audio dropout when running the setup listed above. The dropout is not reproducible - sometimes the system runs for hours without a single dropout - then again sometimes I get dropout every 5 seconds.
    - before replacing my 2009 Macbook with the 2014 Macbook I connected the same MOTU hardware via USB running OS X 10.8 and everything was perfect.
    - Then I upgraded to OSX 10.9 and audio dropout started happing.
    - I changed to the brand-new 2014 Macbook. Same problem
    - I upgraded the new Macbook to OS X 10,10. Same problem
    - On the MOTU Interfaces the firmware is the latest version 1.04 and the audio driver is the latest version dating 17. October 2014
    - Even with older drivers and firmware always the same problem.
    - No fusion drive on my Mac
    - very occasionally the dropout problem even occurs when using the the onboard sound hardware while using Logic X
    Since the audio dropout problem occurred on 2 different MacBooks and only started when I upgraded from OS X 10.8 to 10.9 I guess it is a:
    1. MOTU driver / firmware problem
    2. LOGIC X problem
    3. OSX problem
    Since I need my Mac for professional audio work I  really need a solution to this problem. Even MOTU / Germany has no clue.

    Hi Sascha..
    I remember you.
    If you have Firefox running that's another CPU hog that can cause dropouts.
    I stuck with Snow Leopard and Logic 9, great combination, there will be no further Mac purchases or upgrades for me.
    Also still have my quad-core 3.0gHz PC which runs Cubase 6 very well, it keeps me compatible with the University/PBS machines running Nuendo.

  • Logic Pro 7 with MOTU 828 or Apogee Ensemble??

    I've been using Logic with MOTU's 828MKII interface for about 4 years now. Since couple of days go, the 828 keeps freezing. I had to turn unit off and turn it back on and it starts to work again, but freezes again couple seconds later. I've talked to MOTU guys and they told me to switch voltage back and forth and try again. Same thing.
    I finally came to 2 option.
    1. Send the unit to MOTU and get it fixed and hope to work with it without anymore problem in the future.
    2. Get the new MOTU 828MKIII
    3. Get Apogee's Ensemble audio interface. (this one is really pricey for me)
    What do you guys think?
    Should I just get 828MKii fixed or try new gears..?
    I'm a starting film/TV composer/producer and beginning to
    do quite large projects.
    My set up is
    -G5 Quad PowerPC with 2.5GB RAM
    -250GB main hardrive, 500GB second internal hardrive
    -Yamaha HS50M Speaker
    -Yamaha S90ES Synthesizer
    -Apple Cinema 23inch
    -Running Logic Pro 7 with bunch of samples
    and plug-ins in my second internal hard drive.
    Share your opinions please.
    Thanks
    Chris

    Motu use to make one of the most reliable drivers in industry. If you're happy with it and can get it fixed... so why not stick with it for a while?
    On the other hand the new Apogee's software seems to be really solid and Ensemble's converters are much better than MKII.
    So get the 828 fixed, stick with it for a while, save some cash, buy the Ensemble, dump the old 828.
    Hope that helps

  • Time machine has losing contact with my external drive, connected via a USB port.

    Recently my Time Machine program has begun losing contact with my external drive, connected via a USB port. When I attempt to open Time Machine, it indicates there is no external hard drive.  When I click on "setting up time machine" it opens airport utility.   I've tried rebooting, run disk utility repairs for both hard discs, pulled and reconnected the USB cable, even completely shut down the system.    Eventually the two re-establish contact, but I'm not certain what I've done that causes this.  The lost contact appears to happen during the weekends.  The external hard drive is a MJaxtor OneTouch 4. What should I be doing to solve this problem once and for all?

    I use a little app named EasyFind - free at the App Store. It will allow you to search individual volumes or all volumes.
    Download it and see if it will help.

  • LOGIC PRO 8 with motu 828mkII audio interface

    I have bought a MOTU 828mkII Firewire and I am using it with a Mac Pro Intel
    dual core v. 10.4.10 running Logic Pro 8.
    My mixer is a Yamaha DM-1000. I have a problem with audio.
    I have the mac going into the 828 via a firewire cable, then out of the 828 to
    the mixer using 8 channel adat lightpipe. All devices have the same 48k sampling
    rate but I can not hear a logic virtual instrument, like a piano, using the adat
    lightpipe interface. If I use the analog "main outs" on the 828 I have audio,
    but nothing comes thru the adat output. If I use another application besides Logic with the same setup, the adat connection works fine. This leads me to think the problem has to be in Logic and how it interfaces with the Motu 828mkII. I have read all manuals and can't figure
    out what's wrong. Any suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Pierre.

    Generally, outputs on audio interfaces are discreetly named. So, if your master output is set to Output 1&2, that might refer to your analog outputs. If you want to send the a different set outputs, say, a stereo pair via ADAT, you might need to send to outputs 5&6, instead of 1&2.

  • Why an I losing contact with Firewire drives and camera back?

    One of my computers suddenly won't connect to a Phase One digital back via firewire.
    Tried to plug in a external drive to check the port. No contact. (Tried various cables, etc.)
    Tried camera on another computer. No contact. Tried firewire drives that had been running before on this same computer, and now it won't read these drives.
    My PhaseOne dealer assures me that a digital back can't possible fry or disable a port. Still. there they are.
    Took one of these drives to yet another computer that connects fine with yet another drive, tried the problem drive, and there was no connection. When I checked About This Mac there was a spinning wheel, as though it were looking for something.
    Any thoughts, anyone? I don't want to test more drives if they are being damaged. And if they are, can they be recovered?
    Many thanks
    Sean Kernan

    Hi, John.
    1. I presume in Finder Preferences, in the General tab, you've selected "CDs, DVDs, and iPods" under "Show on desktop." Otherwise, FireWire drives won't display on the desktop, but they should still appear in the Finder's Sidebar.
    2. If you did not Eject the drive before you disconnected it or powered it off, its partition map may be corrupted. That could explain the symptoms you are seeing. Your FireWire-based digital camera back may be seen as a FireWire drive.
    Disconnecting a removable storage device — FireWire drive, USB drive, etc. — without first ejecting it can result in the drive's partition map being corrupted. Before disconnecting such a device, one must first Eject it by either:
    - Dragging its icon to the Trash.
    - Control-clicking the drive's icon and selecting Eject from its contextual menu.
    - In Disk Utility, selecting the device, then selecting Eject in the Disk Utility toolbar.
    If there's data on the drive you wish to recover, see my "Data Recovery" FAQ. Once you recover the data you want to save, if any, you will need to repartition and reformat the drive.
    3. Before you panic w.r.t. item 2 above, Here is some general troubleshooting advice w.r.t. FireWire devices that may help:(1) Review the AppleCare Knowledge Base document "What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire device".
    (2) If this problem occurred after installing a recent Mac OS X Update, and you are also unable to mount CDs, DVDs, or disk images perform the steps in this Mac OS X Hints article.
    (3) The following additional steps will often help resolve problems with FireWire devices, particularly hard drives:(a) Power-on the FireWire drive before starting up (booting) your Mac.
    (b) Reset PRAM and NVRAM.
    (c) Reset the PMU or SMU: Select the appropriate knowledge base item for your model of Mac from this KB search. Follow the instructions on resetting the PMU or SMU carefully!
    (d) Try a different FireWire port. James Wiebe, CEO of WiebeTech, has published FireWire Port Failures in Host Computers and Peripheral Devices, a white paper providing backgroud information and technical analysis concerning the causes of failure for FireWire ports. This may provide additional diagnostic information.
    (e) Check with the manufacturer of your FireWire drive or enclosure to see if any firware updates are available for such.(4) Hopefully, the partition map on the FireWire drive is not damaged. If it still refuses to mount, you may need to employ data recovery tools or services: see my "Data Recovery" FAQ.Note that some of the information above is from the "FireWire Problems" chapter of my book, Troubleshooting Mac® OS X.
    PS: You've not provided any info about the computer in question, i.e. Mac model, installed RAM, installed version of Mac OS X, etc. That's always important to include in a post, and I suggest you add it to your profile: click "My Settings" in the upper-right section of the sidebar on the right side of this page.

  • Notebooks losing contact with printers

    I babysit a small group of Macs in my office's otherwise Windows work network.
    Two are Mac Pro (each Intel, quad 2.66). These are occasionally moved around and are connected to our network wirelessly with no problems.
    The two printers these Mac Pros use are a network based HP 8150 and a Canon i9900 attached to & shared by one of the Mac Pros. Again, no problems.
    Here is my issue:
    I have 3 new MacBook Pros that I am setting up. All are set up just as the desktop machines and work fine on the network with exception of the printing. I go through the normal Printer Setup Utility stuff to add the appropriate printers and set defaults. When I shut down and restart, I need to wait a very long time for the printers to appear in my Printer Setup Utility list, sometimes they don't show at all, and sometimes they come & go. It seems that sometimes they see the printers on the network and sometimes they don't. The Mac Pros do not have this problem - printers are chosen and are always visible and available - and are accessing the same network the same way (wirelessly).
    I suspect something amiss in my settings on the notebooks but I can't find it. Any ideas??
    Thanks!
    --Jim

    When you shut down and restart multiple computers, they may get different IP addresses, which usually means re-Adding the printer. Does this sound familiar?

  • Buses seem to be off with Motu 828

    I just recently switched to Mac from a PC using Cubase. I'm using Logic now and I like the ease of the program. However one thing is driving me crazy. When I create an audio track and I set up the input to record for some reason the buses seem to be off by a pair. For instance if I set up a stereo track to record from input 1-2, I don't get a signal till I raise up bus 3-4 Then 3-4 responds to 4-5 and so on. I checked my wiring and configurations but I can't seem to figure it out. What am I missing out on? I could work around this but it's nagging the heck out of me. Any info on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

    It's difficult to be sure without doing some network packet sniffing, but if it were another app syncing, it would be an awful coincidence, since it seems to happen only while I'm in Reminders.app -- as soon as I click the home button and go back to the home screen, it stops; when I launch Reminders again, it starts again.
    Moreover, it happens when I am not in the house, which rules out iTunes syncing.
    Note that it's not the syncing spinner (i.e. two arrows chasing each other in a circle) -- it's the data access spinner (like the wait spinner in many apps and the apple.com search box).

  • Win 7 sp1 workstations losing contact with ZEN-servers

    Lately we have seen more and more of this phenomenon that seems to have been described earlier but I cannot find any clear solution anywhere.
    ZAA is 11.2.3.24691 MU1 or 11.2.4.3271. Happens to ws that are known to have been working ok. ZAA properties goes almost blank, except Agent status show correct IP-address, Device state Managed. Configuration location says Default location, should be something else. Server properties Unavailable, Closest servers no available, no policies, no bundles.
    zac ref "completes" in half a second but nothing happens. If device still has the IP-address that was known to ZEN it shows up green, otherwise "Unable to connect...".
    Wireshark shows little communication with ZEN-servers and only when ws uses same IP-address as is known to ZEN. A refresh produces no communication.

    We seen this also on some workstation, zac cc, zac ref and then a restart usually solved it. Have not seen this error anymore after we updated to 11.2.4MU1.

  • Keep losing contact with iTunes

    I have a 160 gb Apple TV synced with a mini with a 500 gb external drive. I have two issues.
    1) Every-time that Watch a video on the mini, the ATV loses its sync with the mini and no longer shows up in the mini's iTunes. I have to close iTunes, reopen and then resync with the mini on the ATV. Very annoying....
    2) How can I tell what files are held on the ATV and which one should just be available to stream? iTunes 7.6 does not allow access to anything but the photos. And this does not even put them onto the ATV.

    I have installed the wifi update but the capsule is connected thru ethernet and not thru wifi.
    So that should'nt make any diffrent.
    When I was using snowleopard the the capsule and my server connected automatic to the Imac after I started the Mac,since lion they don't.
    When I find them on the list in the finder I can open them and then they are connected,but mostly they are not even in the finder list and then I have to restart them and configure them again I am a litlle sick of it.

  • TS1741 Does anyone have trouble with the Remote app losing contact with the iTunes library after it has been connected and working fine for a while. If I go to the computer and turn off sharing, then turn it back on, it will relocate the library again.

    My iTunes remote app on my ipad mini will work fine for a while and then it will lose the library. I then have to turn off sharing on the computer and then turn it back on. This will work for a while and then I will have to repeat the process. Help!

    I have just found the problem to be windows firewall on my library PC
    I can only presume there has been an update to windows firewall or iTunes
    all the relevant programs were on the allowed list
    I'm now currently running with firewall turned off on my library PC.
    I'll update when i have found the rogue setting.

  • Clients losing contact with server

    General network:
    We have a 10.6.2 server which provides DNS, AFP, IChat, Open Directory and Print to our internal network 10.6.2 clients which are bound to the OD by the server's IP address. FQDN of the server resolves both forwards and reverse on the server and the clients.
    Clients were migrated recently to 10.6.2 by upgrading them in place from 10.5.8. The server was upgraded in place. The OD was then Archived and Restored to a fresh install of 10.6.2.
    None of the following happened when the clients and server were 10.5.x.
    Strange problem:
    Since moving to 10.6.2, users which are logged in for a long time (3 hours or more) have most of the services periodically fail due to an apparent inability to resolve the FQDN of the server.
    When this happens, I have been able to get Network Utility on the confused client to resolve the server both ways. But then immediately thereafter the client will tell me that it cannot find the location of "FQDN of server" when trying to connect via AFP. Printer service disappears with the same type of problem. Our clients get printers by browsepolling the server by its IP address in CUPS. The print jobs fail when requesting for example : officeprinter@FQDNofServer. User Sync fails due to inability to resolve the server.
    All of this usually goes away by logging out the user and logging back in again. Sometimes Shutting down and rebooting is required.
    I'm assuming that the problem is in DNS but cannot find anything about the inability of the services to resolve either on the client or the server. I may be looking in the wrong place.

    I was also just having this same problem; even though my local DNS was listed first, the ISP DNS servers were being queried. This was never a problem when I was running Microsoft's DNS server.
    I was always under the impression that the first DNS server in any computer's list was queried first, and then the other ones if there was no record. Why is that not the case after switching to Apple's DNS server? All the computers now seem to be querying whatever the heck DNS server they feel like, instead of going in order they are listed... Is this a known bug that I'm not aware of?
    I fixed it by following the advice in this forum, but at the cost of a crucial piece of functionality: If I ever restart the local DNS server for any reason, or if it goes down, my whole organization will not be able able to browse the internet. Having the ISP DNS numbers in there let me allow for that possibility, but not anymore.

  • OS X Mavericks Mail losing contact with outgoing mail server after waking from sleep.

    I upgraded my MAcBook Air to OS X Mavericks two days ago. Since then I have had intermittent problems connecting to my outgoing mail server. I get the "Unable to Receive Mail" error message. When I click "Take All Accounts Online," I get an additonal error message stating that connection to the host on the specifided port failed. I am using a different outgoing server for mail and I can continue to send emails.
    Putting the computer to sleep seems to trigger the problem. Sometimes restaring the computer resloves the problem, sometimes it does not. Any help would be greatly appriciated as this problems his disrupted my workflow significantly.

    Fixed. In case anyone has the same issue, I went to Internet Accounts, unclicked mail, and then re-clicked it. It worked. Disabling it in the mail configuration did not work, but it did in Internet Accounts.

  • Logic/Motu 828/Logic control problems!!  I'm lost!

    Hi guys,
    I have a mac pro OS 10.4.8, Logic 7.2.3, Motu 828 Mark 2, Micro Lite midi hardware, a Xio Synth and a mackie logic control. Everytime I launch my Logic my mackie does something different. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt, when I go to the set up in preferences for surface control it shows me 2 logic control. So I have to delete one and then sometimes it gives me this weird cryptic coding on my audio object if I'm recording until I turn off my mackie. I dont know what to do, My xio is connected through USB...Does anybody have any idea what the problem could be?
    I would appreciate any help.
    Thank you

    Is your MIDI interface going through a hub? Is the MC on dedicated ports? Have you rebuilt defaults in the Control Surfaces submenu? Have you tried another MIDI interface? If you delete everything in Control Surface setup, does Logic automatically install the MC next time you boot Logic?
