Mainstage 2 on motu 828mk3 unstable

Unfortunately mainstage 2 on snowleopard with motu 828mk3 is very unstable.
(I fully clean install snowleopard and logic studio after the trouble but have no luck.)
cursol is heavy from time to time and after midi contorol via amt8 it stops to sound and only way to do is to switch off 828mk3 and restart.
Is anyone have same problem?

Mhhh ...... Could be the MOTU.
I have the same setup, and SOMETIMES suddenly have BIG latency problems (e.g. EVP88)..
Hitting panic or just waiting (up to 5 seconds) works.
Dont have another interface to check if the MOTU could be the cause.
I set up my concert from scratch, after finding out that my imported MS1 concert didnt perform at all.
So i guess i am clean, and yes .. i know how MS works.
Do you have big CPU spikes as well ?
Going back to MS1, I'm afraid.

Audio interface problem with Waveburner...wil not send audio to MoTU 828mk3

When using Waveburner with a new MOTU 828Mk3 interface. the audio refuses to play via the 828 despite it being selected in the Audio Device window. It defaults to sending audio to my second display screen. Is there a re-set somewhere? It works fine with Logic9.

Hi,
You need to select the MOtu 828mk3 as your default audio device under the Mac Os "Audio Midi Setup" application, and the "sound" preference pane in Preferences.
Cheers

Recording a Line Signal through Motu 828mk3 into Cubase, Please help!

Hello everyone,
So i use Motu 828mk3, pair of m-audio monitors, I have logic but find Cubase more compatible for my style. I want to record a line in signal from my DJ mixer (allen&heath xone 62, pair of Pionner cdjs-1000).
So i connect the main outs (xlr to 1/8") into my Motu analog 1-2 ins. The meter on the Motu reads the signal, i expected the signal to come through my monitors although they are silent. I dont understand what blocks the Main Outs of my Motu.(If i play a song on itunes or a sample in cubase it plays through my monitors)
I set everything correct on my Motu Audio Setup, i put Default input as my Analog 1-2, and default main outs as Main Outs.
The Cue mixer which comes with Motu reads the in signal also. I tried to get it connected though cubase too, but im assuming that once i get motu release the signal through my outs i will be able to connect it through cubase.
Seems like i tried everything in my knowledge, now i need your help. Thank you folks

Yes i checked on My system preferences, everything is there for Motu, it reads the input and it send out sound from itunes youtube etc.
In cubase, well first i feel like the input should come out the Main outs of the Motu even if wouldnt want to record anything right ?
And yes in cubase everything seems to be set to record, drivers are motu on, setting are set, the handle (little speaker) is on to record, in preferences of Device setup motu it set active.

MOTU 828Mk3 & Logic Pro's default audio outputs

Hello people! Well, I received my MOTU 828Mk3 a couple of days ago and am very pleased with it so far, sonically much better than the Mk2 however I'm slightly frustrated with the default audio out in logic pro. The 828 is set-up fine with the default audio out set to master out, itunes etc all work fine but within logic pro the default output is analog 1-2, the master outputs are 9-10. So every-time I create a new project I have to select 9-10 as the output, I can live with that but if you drag any samples/loops into a project the output of the new track defaults to analog 1-2, bit of a pain. So my question is - Is there any way you can tell logic to use a default pair of outputs?
Cheers
Paul

You should be able to set the main outputs to be 1 and 2 in the MOTU setup app. I've done that with my 896mk3 and it works as expected. It just means that the outputs 1-8 on the unit are actually 3-10 in Logic.

HT3956 I have tried to connect three MOTU 828mk3's using this new aggregate device listed here, but it wont work any suggestions?

Hi
I am trying to use three 828mk3's with an analouge desk and after creating a new aggregate device in Audio/midi set up it doesn't seem to work, also the blue shaded are doesn't allow me to move the volume up or down?
Any suggetions?
Thanks

Hi
The situation is like this, we have ordered 3 motu 828mk3 AI's to replace old avid hardware. We have a 24 track analogue BIG desk made by langley. The issue is that Logic 9 and Pro tools 10 don't want to use all the sound cards together, if we change the playback engine to MOTU 2 then we can use channels 9-16, then the 3rd one for channels 17-24 etc. Looking around at forums and other sites as lead me to set up a new aggregate device in the audio/midi set up in utilities. Again after we tried this it still doesn't allow us to use all three together. Motu state that you can daisy chain up to 4 devices, i have sent an email to MOTU but have yet to gain a response.

Unstable timeline movement using FireWire audio (MOTU 828mk3)

I'm using a 32 bit system with Windows 7 Home Premium and Service Pack 1. An AVI that I captured with my DV camera will not play in Premiere Elements. I can see the time line making a loop every 10 seconds or less whenever I use FireWire for audio. If I use Windows Sound Card, it plays well.
The same AVI plays well on Windows Media Player with or without the FireWire audio interface.
I'm new to Adobe but have used AVID Liquid Pro before. It seems like I'm missing a CODEC but I'm not sure if that is the problem. NOTHING plays right with the FireWire Audio selected regardless of the many settings I have tried.
Thanks,
Joseph Balsamo

I'm using Premiere Elements 12.
The 828mk3 is a FireWire audio interface. I'm actually using IEEE 1384 connection vs USB. I use it for my audio (PC to mixing board) mostly for Sonar.
I found out today during a chat with Adobe that Premiere Elements does not support MOTU. That must be my problem.
I am not trying to capture, just play an AVI in the timeline. The timeline does not move smoothly enough to do that without audio and video problems. However, the same AVI will play in the organizer of Premiere Elements. Also the same AVI also plays in Media Player. I also have no problems with audio or video using YouTube or Vimeo or any video on the web with Chrome or IE 11.
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit with Service Pack 1.
828mk3 Hybrid Firewire Audio Interface
I am told that Premiere Pro can support MOTU. I just don't have a 64 bit system for it yet.

Problems with outputs Motu 828mk3

I am using logic 9 and upgrading from 828mk2 -> 828mk3. It seems motu re-mapped MainOuts. Main Outputs are now mapped to analog outputs 9-10 on the back of the motu.
I thought I had it sorted out:
"Output 9-10", "analog output 1-2" and "main output" are all synonymous. What I don't have sorted out is analog output 1-2. Currently these are non-selectable... I'm not sure what's wrong. At first I thought these outputs were also synonymous but I can see on the back of the motu unit that these are different, physical outs.
Help me figure out a) how to wrap my head around mappings b) how to get back analog output 1-2.
Thanks
(sorry for the overlap from a different post).

Hi. I've spent more time with the mixer app (and my manual). What exactly should I be checking for? I appear to have everything routed correctly... except that Logic seems to be mapping "output 1-2" to "analog 1/2" which technically is separate set of outputs. It seems like there should be analog 1/2, analog 3/4, analog 5/6, analog 7/8, and analog 9/10 (which should be the same as output1-2 & main out put)... what I'm a doing wrong?

Anyone using motu 828mk3 with gb?

i like the i/o setup of the mk3 cause i need many stereo pairs for my drum modules, keyboards etc. i was told in motu forums only 1 output pair is supported by gb which is fine for anything i know how to do. one person said they thought only 2 inputs were available for gb. that seems unlikely but after speaking with a motu rep on phone about 828mk3 and gb, he could not confirm compatibility. i was like whoa who knows then? some motu forum users suggested i ask here in gb forums to see if others have had success with the two together. in the logic forum ive seen posts about the motu but i dont want to assume about gb. any info greatly appreciated. my gear is begging to be setup proper with my comp.

Mainstage 3 / MOTU Ultralite Mk3 Hybrid driving me crazy

Hi,
I get constant dropouts when trying to use MainStage 3.0.4 with MOTU Ultralite Mk3 Hybrid interface. And everytime the dropouts happens I get these messages in the console. Sometimes over several hundreds of them when things are really bad.
AND...it gets worse whenever I go to a rehearsal or live onstage. Go figure that one out!
kernel[0]: IOAudioStream[0xffffff8052709000]::clipIfNecessary() - Error: attempting to clip to a position more than one buffer ahead of last clip position (1e2,158)->(1e5,428).
I do not get these errors when using internal audio only.
I get no help from MOTU who are saying that there's no problem with the hardware.
I have received a second MOTU Ultralite interface. Same problem.
I have tried both USB (with nothing on the bus except the interface) and Firewire (over Thunderbolt-adapter). Same problem.
What is happening?
Please help me!
Here's my computer specs:
MacBook Pro Retina mid-2012

OS version: OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)

Nope, no good. Seemed like it was going to behave. I left the computer idling on my MainStage-concert and when I came back i had these in the console....

Mush/Audio Errors with MacMini (2012) connected via Firewire with Motu 828mk3

Hi,
just bought a Mac Mini (actual model) and wanted to connect my Motu 828 mk3 via Firewire for audio recording. BUT, via FW there are audio errors/mush (sounds like electrical mush) in all the audio outputs. Via USB its all o.k. ! The Motu works fine with an 2008 MacBook Pro on Firewire!
Has anyone the same problem with audio interfaces on macs using firewire, especially on the actual Mac mini? Is it a problem of the Mac (Mini) Firewire port?
The Mac Mini has installed the latest Motu drivers and the latest version of OS X Lion. The problem exists in all audio applications (Cubase, AudioDesk, Wavelab, even iTunes).
Thanks for your help/answers and best regards.

The problem stems from the Mac (in my case Mac Mini Server 2011).
Apparently, as I read in various forums looking for Mac and Logic, the new models of Mac Mini (2011) have lowered the voltage Firewire.
I have the same problem with my new Track-16.
I can only work fine with USB connection.
Either we change the computer model, or users of Mac Mini (2011) we can forget a Firewire connection powerful and efficient.
Only remains for me try to connect to an external HD Motu firewire 800 which is connected to the Mac Mini previously. I guess the external HD, to be powered via AC, will have enough voltage to the Motu.
Best regards.

Motu 828mk3 With Logic 8

Hey guys,
Just upgraded to a Motu Mk3...having issues getting any sound out of Logic (and reason for that matter)
Its all set up properly and is working fine with Itunes...although once i open up logic...it trys to send the output signal to the analog channels and not master out.
I have selected all the right things in preferences but it still continues not to work.
any advice?
Your help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Matt

In Logic you need to set the outputs to Output 9-10. It is strange but it is the way Logic does it.

Help needed with audio output (Mackie controller with Motu interface)

Hello,
I have booked my university's recording studio for the day and am having a complete nightmare! There's no engineer around...
I'm not getting any main level out of my Motu 828mk3. Logic is talking to my Mackie interface (Universal Pro, 8 channel digi mixer) fine, and but when I try and play (or record) anything there doesn't seem to be a level. On the Motu the 'out 1&2' LEDs light up, which makes me think that something is being received, but that isnt manifesting into an output. Interestingly, iTunes (routed through the same Motu) works and comes out of the speakers. All the Audio Preferences settings in Logic are set to the Motu.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? We have already wasted the entire morning trying to get a sound out of the speakers!
Thanks,
John

The question you need to ask is: why do you need a midi in/out? Do you want to connect your keyboard to it? I run my keyboard through USB and that works just fine.
Do you already have speakers? Because that seems to be missing here. Also, if you want to record yourself you'll probably need some headphones.
I don't know what your budget is (one mans low budget is the others mans highest, so..), but you can get some decent speakers and headphones for not too much money. But just know this, it's often better to save a little bit more instead of buying everything cheap and wanting to upgrade everything next year.

Interface Midi Motu Fastlane USB not functioning under Snow Leopard?

Hi all
I have 3 external midi instruments I want to set up with logic separately.
As my MOTU 828MK3 audio interface, (which is connected via a Firewire cable), only has one midi port and I don’t want to use the MIDI through option (‘cos I want to have the 16 channels of each instrument simultaneously available), I purchased a Motu Fastlane Midi 2 in, 2 out, USB interface.
The thing doesn’t work – the Fastlane gadget does not send or receive any Midi signal, although recognised by the Midi Setup on Core Midi. And the thing should be only plug & play.
At first I thought it could be some drivers’ problem, but if the Motu 828 MK3 works, Fastlane USB should function as well, I think.
I tried to update the drivers from the Motu site, but Snow Leopard did not allow it.
Does anyone have a clue?
Thank you

Wow, I'm not crazy after all. I recently purchased Logic Express 9 and have not been able to get my external MIDI gear working. I too have a Fastlane. I too updated the driver that Motu says works with Snow Leopard. And I too can't get it working. However, the input works. I am able to record MIDI data to an external track and to a soft synth track. The soft synth track plays back fine but I cannot, for the life of me, get it to trigger my external synths. The external track has MIDI data in it but it will not play. I do think it is a driver problem. Also I do not see the green port lights blinking indicating MIDI data is not being received by the Fastlane. Here's my question. What is a good MIDI interface that will work with this OS and LE9? How about the MOTU Micro Light 5x5? I'm afraid to make the purchase. Is all of MOTU's interfaces having this problem?

Motu vs Apogee

Ok so now I am confused. I just read a posting that stated Motu 828mk3 or the Motu Traveller are the best audio interfaces to have. Are they better than the Apogee Ensemble or Duet?
Thanks.

I own a 828mk2 and the Ensemble. MOTU always finds the bang for the buck angle on things. They have been doing this since they came out with the Midi Timepiece AV that replaced a Digidesign product for less than half the cost.
HOWEVER,my Ensemble kicks butt compared to the 828mk2. By this I mean better converters ,better pre-amps,better drivers,better sound overall and complete integration into the core audio of OSX.
You can control Ensemble from within Logic 8.
I have seen the 828mk3 ads and it does look like a cool thing but will it sound as good? Maybe
Does it have more i/o? Yes ,also has some on board DSP for reverb and EQ and such. The mixer looks cool too.
All said, I bought the Ensemble in an emergency whim purchase, when my 828mkII died and I have never thought about any other interface except a Symphony system from Apogee or the Duet for a little portable rig. Ensemble,expensive? Yes but, so far for me,worth it.

Audio-tracks delayed

With my *Digi 003 rack* and *Logic Studio Pro 8.0.2* I suddenly have recorded audio-tracks delayed when played back. If I play a guitar right on click and play it back, it is totally out of timing. Never had that one before. When I use the *Apogee Duet Soundcard*, all is working fine. Has anyone any idea what that may be?
Cheers!
Michael

Hi Anthro,
I just repeat this test for you rigth now..
it is very fresh test... in order to have a perfect sync when recording an external instrument with "Software Monitoring" turn to "OFF" (for be able to repeat this test on Logic that usually is used with SW turned to "ON" you must restart Logic or Core Audio before starting the test)
I repeat this test refering to specific Logic setting : *Software Monitoring turn to "OFF"*
(when SW is turn to ON, every external incoming Audio input is recorded in perfect sync with the SMPTE and BPM time)
I have use an External Midi Drum machine as sound source!
see the following pictures:
this is the MIDI object quantize at 1/4:
this is the Audio recording of the MIDI object and the relative coreaudio setting preferences
*software monitoring off*
this is the Audio recording of the same Midi object with a correct Recording Delay Compensation setting.
*software monitoring off*
If you have doubt about this test, feel free to replay me... I hope this should be help you to find a good sync....
in any case... this is not the same for all Audio devices, they can have different driver-hardware adding or less DELAY...there are faster device like Motu 828mk3 and there are not so fast device like as Digidesign core audio drivers that have proprietary security and rigths protection)
however, FOR A PERFECT Sync... i suggest to extend the resolution of the Samples Editor...
bacause some device can be set as 1124 instead 1024 (or different value)
(on My MOtu I get a near to perfect sync around 1009 /1012 Delay
(I hope this post can be helpful also for the people that they +*"cannot believe that"*+ )
Good Luck
