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
Processor: 2,7 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
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....

Motu Ultralite MK3 Hybrid with Logic X problem

Hi,
Has anyone had this problem:?
I'm using the Ultralite hybrid with logic X on an iMac i5,
Tried to change the sample rate in Recording settings from 44 to 96 and it totally freezes Logic up until I turn off the Motu.
normally this should switch the motu over to 96 aswell (well it did on Logic 8 no problem)
so now I'm stuck with only 44 to work with.
Kinda ***** as a lot of my projects are recorded at 96..
I also tried changing the sample rate with the mac core audio (no motu)
and it works fine. So I know this is probably a Motu problem but just wondered if anyone here is having the same problem.
I have updated all drivers and firmware and no change.
Hope someone can help.

Hi Everyone,
I'm back, unfortunately with the same problem.
After all the formatting, installing etc.. Everything was going ok, i even composed a whole piece at 96000
and upon starting a new project I went to change the sample rate again and I had the same problem.
Massive crashes, it's like the north pole here. I tried restarting , factory defaults on the motu, etc etc
Logic X runs great without the motu coneccted. what ever sample rate.
It's the strangest thing ever because I downloaded Reaper and it runs great, no problem changing sample rates and solid as a rock.
My old macbook 2009 (running mavericks and logic x) runs perfect, with the motu. I can change sample rates no problem.
Thing is ,the Imac is my main computer beacause it has the most RAM and can run heavy plugins like addictive keys etc.
I thought i might be a problem with the USB ports but Reaper proved me wrong.
I'm a at a total loss.
I can't run a hardware test on mavericks, I can't figure out how.

MIDI in via Motif ES USB or MOTU Ultralite MK3 MIDI in

Hi,
which MIDI configuration do you suggest?
1. MIDI out from Yamaha Motif ES6 -> MOTU UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid MIDI in -> MacBook Pro 2012
or
2. USB MIDI from Yamaha Motif ES6 -> MacBook Pro 2012
Maybe it make no difference which one I choose. However, the following statement can be found on the MOTU site here:
"Sample-accurate MIDI — connect a MIDI controller and/or sound module with no separate interface needed. MIDI I/O is sample-accurate with supporting software."
/Mattias

do you speak japanese?
seriously - the first problem i had with the ultralite was that i didnt know you needed to install the software before plugging it in . . hope that helps.

MOTU Ultralite MK3 headphone output

Hi All
I would appreciate some assistance if anybody has been through this problem.
I am unable (despite reading the manual) to get my output from logic pro 8 to outputs 7+8 on the Mk3 (for my headphone amp) unless I change the all the channel outputs within the Logic mixer to the corresponding channel outputs for 7+8.
I would like to have my Uktralite Mk3 send (via a bus?) the output from the Main outputs also to outputs 7+8 where I will connect my headphone amplifier. I have tried to work though this but it's driving me nuts. I would appreciate the indivual steps to make this happen.
I am a newbie so I apologise if this is basic stuff.
Thanks
Craig

Sorted:
MOTU offer the same workaround as above. This from their site incase anybody else has the same issue. Still can't believe you can't mirror the main outs within Cuemix and send them to the other outputs.
How do I hear the output of my DAW on more than one bus in CueMix?
Each CueMix bus is a mix of:
1. The input sources that you are monitoring in the CueMix Console
2. Any audio playing back from your computer that is assigned to the same outputs that your CueMix busses are assigned to
So to hear the output of your DAW on more than one bus in CueMix, in your DAW you will need to route the audio playing back to the same outputs that your CueMix busses use.
For example, let's say you're using an 828mkII and you'd like to create two monitor mixes, and the output of your DAW needs to be heard in each mix. We'll say the first CueMix bus is assigned to Main Out 1-2, and the second CueMix bus is assigned to Analog 7-8.
In Digital Performer, you would follow these steps:
* Assign all of your tracks' outputs to bus 1-2
* Create two aux tracks, both with bus 1-2 as their input
* Set the output of the first aux track to Main Out 1-2, and the output of the second to Analog 7-8
* Now all audio is being routed to bus 1-2, and is in turn routed to both Main Out 1-2 and 7-8
You can do the same thing in other DAWs by following similar steps to route your audio through a bus to multiple outputs; check your DAW's documentation for specific details.

Motu Ultralite MK3 users.. need your help

Hi;
I discovered this problem today. My Motu's display keeps turning on and off, producing a "pop" sound everytime it does it!! Not sure why this is happening all of a sudden. I reinstalled the drivers as well. I suspect its got to do with my firewire connection. Something is causing it to go haywire. Anyone else experienced this?? Appreciate the help.
J.

thx for the replys.. I have Xperia X1 right now.. its feature rich and too expensvie also. Its from Sony so I didnt bother to investigate about sound.. and you kow what .. it has one speaker and its volume is low like hell.. if you have in pocket and you are on the road.. you cant hear the ring and the vibration is just like nothing lol
thats why.. i am asking for this one.. I know this phone is the best phone from nokia till date [at least for me]
cheers
I would be happy if some one else also would like to provide me his reference for the volume loudness

MOTU Ultralite looses its FW connection at regular intervals

Hello Friends
here is a real frustrating problem !
I have the MOTU Ultralite mK3 FW soundcard. First when I plug the FW cable and the computer is off I get a regular churning noise from my MAC
When the MAC is on; no churning noise , but the connection seems to go on an off status , LCD flickers on and off at regular intervals , the backlite leds go up and down the unit goes beserk !! though I might add it initializes fine when first powered on
I have tried all the basic trouble shooting , 'changing cables , pluging different FW devices these all work !!!!)
I even plugged the ULTRALITE on my PC computer , and guess what !! it works fine !! no problemo !!!*
I have tried to contact MOTU but there tech service is god **** awful , it has been a month now.
I think maybe the 10.5 os upgrade might be the reason , because I did have the unit working when I first got it !
Any help is appreviated !!!

hi friends
thanks for your insight !! however problem remains the same even after the suggestions
yes trying to' isolate' the problem , but here it is !!!
the MOTU Unit works no problem on my PC computer , I have tried (even got a brand new FW cable) Plugging Other FW units work fine on my G5 .
The MOTU works fine with the power supply , but as soon as the FW is plugged , it freaks out !!
Here is a video link of exactly how the MOTU behaves

what do you think ???

Motu Ultralite with Mainstage - No output form Mic 2

I plug the 'guitar' into the front Mic 1 socket and all works and sounds great.
I plug into Mic 2 in the back of the motu Ultralite and I get no sound, yet the meters on the LCD panel are showing input volume. Out is not happening from Mic 2.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Gary

OK, after looking at the setup stuff on the Ultralite it is actually a mixer, so stuff that is going to the inputs is getting routed to main outputs by the Cuemix software for the interface.
When you set the output of the strip on Mainstage to another set of outputs it is routing the softwares output to the 3-4 outputs but the mixer inside the Ultralite is routing the input signals (likely unprocessed) back to the outputs.
It looks like if you turn the software faders for the Main out mix for your guitar inputs all the way down Mainstage will see the inputs but the wont be routed to the Main output for monitoring...

Can't monitor with Motu mk3 hybrid

I was using an m-audio box and wanting something a little more professional, I bought a Motu mk3 hybrid. I set up a multitrack recording in Logic Pro 9 and have my headphones plugged in but I can't get any sound in the phone. Monitoring doesn't work in GarageBand either. What am I doing wrong?

Generally, if a computer works with the same hardware to one monitor and does not to another, the problem is with the not working monitor. Can you test it with another computer?
Best of luck.

PROBLEM WITH MACBOOK PRO 2.4 Dual Core and MOTU Ultralite

Hello,
I Recently bought a macbook pro to have for my Live appearance.
I also had a motu Ultralite which worked super well with my Pc and with the macbook the first days
One day i had to play live in a club so i connect my soundcard but the macbook wont recognize it coz i cant see the popup window that i get everytime i connect my motu on it...i rebooted the soundcard then the laptop nothing...i started sweating coz my live performance would start in 20 minutes noting came out of it so i cancelled the gig for the moment and played a Dj set instead.
When i got home i connected the card again and was working perfectly till yesterday..So i thought there was something wrong with the Power in the Venue or something like that.
Yesterday i connected the soundcard and again does the same any other firewire device was working properly.
I searched online and saw there is alot of people having the same issue but no solution.can someone tell WHY sometimes it works and sometimes doesnt??its very stupid to have 2 machines with a cost of 2500 euro almost and they dont work well together
Op system: Leopard 10.5.7
Motu ultralite Mk2 firmware: 1.15
motu ultralite driver 1.4.21
Thank you in advance

Popping in to say that I have now a fully functional Ultralite (mk3) under OS X 10.5.8 on my Macbook.
I have found that people who have upgraded the firmware to 1.15 were having problems (according to the MOTU site this upgrade isn't actually meant for the mk3 anyways) with Leopard (maybe Snow Leopard too?) and needed the 1.00 version of the firmware.
Using the drivers supplied on the MOTU CD, the device would not appear when connected to the Macbook. However, removing these from the system prior to downloading the latest MOTU Universal driver from their website seems to have solved it.
Now after installing the universal drivers from the website the device works without any problems (driver 1.4.23 of MOTU Audio Setup). Hope this helps someone

Oxygen 8 / faderfox / motu ultralite

hi.
new to logic but i have some understating of electronic music set.
i have the oxygen 8, faderfox lc2, and a motu ultralite. when i connect the oxygen 8 through USB only than all works. when i combine the faderfox (midi) and the oxygen 8 (w. USB or Midi) i cannot get logic or Mainstage to recognize it. it sees the midi signal from the oxygen but it does not "learn."
i use the motu ultralite as the midi interface.
thanks.
liron

Hello, and thanks for your answer!
My MOTU audio setup always starts before the logic programme(it starts automatically on startup). But anyway i managed to solve this by leaving my MOTU switched off and then starting up LE8. As soon as everything loaded i switched it on, and the LE8 finally did it's thing...unfortunatelly i came accross another issue while trying to record a guitar at 96khz:
First i set up sample rate at 96khz from the LE8 menu, then double checked motu's display to see if it sync right and started recording...as soon as i hit a note, i get massive quantization distortion and weird thing is, i need to restart LE8 if i want to record even at 44.1khz, otherwise i still get the same effect.
One problem after the other...sigh
I hope this is something really easy to fix, like the previous one...i'm getting kinda disappointed. Any ideas?
Thanks again

My i tunes won't open. i keep getting error7 (windows error 193) . contacted microsoft(thought it was a windows thing...not) have uninstalled itunes and everything related to it ,re installed and message still comes up. Help please,driving me crazy.

help. my iTunes wont open. I keep getting the message error7 (windows error 193). contacted Microsoft they said contact iTunes support. I have uninstalled all iTunes componets and then reinstalled everything but message still comes up... its driving me crazy.

If it's a Windows error, it's typically going to be a Microsoft problem. Uninstall any security software you have and if you have a restore point for your PC, you may want to restore your PC back to when iTunes was working normally. If none of those work you would need to contact Microsoft and demand help.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist? Driving me crazy.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist? Driving me crazy.
I listen to primarily classical music
All of my music was very deliberatley titled by composers "Last Name, First Name" as the artist.
iTunes is changing it to the Album Artist. I have to go in and delete that information - AND THEN IT LATER REVERTS IT BACK!!!
Hours have been wasted and I am feeling so ticked.
Any help?

Purchased or ripped media?
If these are ripped mp3s then another possibility is multiple embedded tags. iTunes works best with a single ID3v2.3 tag. Some software creates both an ID3v1.0 and IDv2.x tag. With multiple tags it is not certain which iTunes reads or which it updates, and any device may choose differently. Once songs have the correct info. in iTunes you can use Convert ID3 Tags... None several times, then Convert ID3 Tags... v2.3. The process removes any embedded art but otherwise preserves the data that iTunes knows. You could use my script CreateFolderArt before and after to save and then restore the artwork.
In the long run you may be better off populating Album Artist properly with a copy of whatever is currently in Artist. My script CopyArtistToAlbumArtist can do this effectively.

I've added to ios6 to my new ipod touch with no problems. I'm trying to now restore the factory settings but the screen is frozen with an itunes sign and lead pointing towards it. The ipod won't even switch off. Can anyone help as it's driving me crazy

I've added ios6 to my new ipod but tried then to restore the factory settings. It won't extract any settings and the itunes then tells me that the server cannot be reached or is unavailable. I've been trying all day. Now the ipod has a itunes sign and a computer lead pointing towards it on the screen and this is frozen. It won't switch off or do anything else. Any ideas as this is now driving me crazy.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
