MOTU 828 MKII input into Logic Pro

I posted about this earlier, but I think I can simplify/clarify:
I'm using 8 channels of ADAT pre-amp input connected to my MOTU 828 MKII.
Cuemix (MOTU's monitoring software) shows that all inputs are functioning properly.
But when I try to choose an input channel in Logic, I have a problem:
All 8 channels come through inputs 13 & 14 in Logic. Logic will allow me to select inputs 13 through 20 (they're not grayed out), but there's no audio coming to inputs 15 through 20. And, yes, I'm pressing "record" to enable the track.
I should be able to assign inputs as follows:
ADAT 1 = Input 13
ADAT 2 = Input 14
ADAT 3 = Input 15
ADAT 4 = Input 16
ADAT 5 = Input 17
ADAT 6 = Input 18
ADAT 7 = Input 19
ADAT 8 = Input 20
Any ideas on what's happening here?

The reason it is 2 out is because Logic doesn't recognise the names of the inputs. They are simply numbered. So, the front 2 inputs on the MOTU are inputs 1 and 2 in Logic. So the next input in Logic is 3, but the next input on the MOTU is on the back..... which (rear of MOTU) is input 1..... and on it goes.
Logic 4, Motu (rear)2.
This got me at first until I realised that Logics input chanels were just numbered straight through, not differentiating between front, rear, analog, ADAT etc.... I think inputs 11 to 18 in Logic correspond to ADAT 1-8 on MOTU.

  • Motu 828 mkii and macbook pro

    alright heres the deal, i just converted from pc to apple and i am trying to hook up my studio monitors to my macbook pro through a motu 828 mkii. i go to the audio and try to switch the sound output to the mkii but it said "the selected device has no output controls" can anyone walk me through the set up process of this if they have the time. im using garage band for the time being and im also trying to hook up my midi controller to be able to play using the controller but yet again, no sound. another problem if someone knows how to help
    thanks in advance.

    Dave, your MOTU sound interface should have its own control application, where you can configure what inputs/outputs to use and how. Usually it is installed together with the driver for the device (have you installed it, by the way?). You may also try configuring it using Audio/MIDI utility.
    Try looking for info at motu's web-site and/or user forums there, if my advice above doesn't work. Surely, more experienced motu users know better
    By the way, also try the following: after booting your Mac first switch on MOTU, then launch GarageBand. Typically, if drivers are installed correctly and everything else is fine, your sound interface should start working by default.

  • Motu 828 MKIII firewire connection problem

    Hello !
    I am a Belgian user (sorry for my english) of the Motu 828 MKIII Firewire, when I was on Windows evreythings gone ok, but  I have a big problem since I switched to Mac !
    When I plug my motu with a 6pin-9pin firewire cable to my macBook pro « mid 2012 » it is not always recognized by the drivers.
    Sometimes it is recognized, but if I disconnect and then reconnect it no longer works.
    It does not appear in the "Motu audio setup". In the "Report System » of mac, it detects an "unknown device".
    I tried another cable but it does not change, yet my firewire port works well (I tried with an extern HardDrive) !!
    I also tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers, it does not change!
    The firmware is 1.06, the drivers is 1.6 58373 and I’m running OSX 10.9 (mavericks).
    There’s no new drivers on website...
    Please help me !

    You can select which physical outputs Logic designates as your "Stereo Output" in Audio Preferences->IO Assignments. Unfortunately you cannot rename the IO label for Output 1-2 - this is permanently greyed out.
    Note also that Logic that Logic has some buggy routing behavior around Output 1-2 as it assumes this is your main stereo output pair. If you want to use outputs 1 and 2 as mono outputs you will run into all sorts of trouble.
    @the blind eye - you have a secondary issue in that the "Main" outputs of your MOTU are actually the mix bus of the interface itself, these are not outputs that are directly accessible by Logic.

  • Firewire disconnects using motu 828 mkii and Mackie ONYX 1620i. Why?

    Having replaced my trusted MOTU 828 mkii as it kept disconnecting itself and needed rebooting including removal and replacement of the firewire lead, I have encounted the very same problem with the Mackie ONYX 1620i.
    Interestingly it happened recently when I powered up a guitar amp in the same room the other day so I called my electrician friend to check out all the power outlets/sockets on the studio main. His comments were "no issues".
    - As there are no other gemlins associated to the power I put it down as coincidence but had to rule it out.
    I have tried a multiple of firewire leads and had the same results.
    The only firewire device that seems ok is a Behringer FCA 202!!!! (Embarrasing!) - I use this for stereo output only (to the same active monitors) and swap FW lead and Output Jacks when using each device.
    This is with Macbook Pro (2010), Logic Studio 9, iTunes, etc. (all purchased products and same problem with ALL audio software).
    Using Lion but was an issue with previous OSX.
    Certainly a head scratcher.
    Anyone had any similar issues?

    That's interesting. Thanks Benjy.
    Please be sure to update here if you do encounter anything similar.
    I cannot afford to replace my 'live' desk as well as another soundcard.
    Plus, I really don't think I should have to - Mackie and MOTU are established and reputable device manufacturers and this seems to be an Apple issue.
    Apple?
    Anyone else sncountered similar and found a resolution after advice from apple?

  • I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9.  I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track.  how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc????   Help

    I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9.  I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track.  how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc????   Help

    Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
    'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

  • Mainstage Ultrabeat into Logic Pro 8?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how I could Export a Mainstage "Ultrabeat" (not just a loop but say a five minute improvision jam) into Logic Pro 8, so I could improvise over it in Logic Pro 8? Especially the rhythm combinations. Thanks!

    I think you can use something like Soundflower to route audio from one app into another.
    You can always just open the same UB channel strip setting in Logic and do everything in there that you would do in Mainstage.

  • Transferring Files from Triton Le (via Smart card) into Logic pro 9

    I'm trying to get original material from my triton Le smart card into Logic pro 9. I've looked at a couple forums and tried different ways. I know i can do it track by track/ real time audio, but would prefer having it as midi, as i've found cutting and splicing the realtime has produced some glitches in the music. The other way was to use a usb floppy disk drive save my material as midi on the floppy then open it in logic. This i've tried but must be missing something because i drag the file from my 17n1 card reader (which reads my smart card) into the floppy and it just takes the file as it is.
    This will get figured out soon, some help would be great!!!

    HI guys first thanks for all the replies  amazing that some one still listen to these post thanks ,especially i saw pancenter involved  in many logic related problems so wow man keep going thanks .

  • How do I load an AU instrument (Garritan ARIA player) into Logic Pro X on a Mac Mini OSX 10.8.5

    how do I load an AU instrument (Garritan ARIA player) into Logic Pro X on a Mac Mini OSX 10.8.5 ?

    You install the player .component in the Library/Audio/Plug Ins/Components folder (though an installer probably does that for you) and install(er) the sample content wherever you want, then you start Logic (the new plug in will be validated during startup), open or create a project, create/use a software instrument track, instantiate the player in an Instrument slot, and in the player itself you choose the sound(s) you want to play and load those.

  • Rewire Mainstage into Logic Pro / internal soundcard

    Hey there, Logic Users!
    I noticed that some of the Mainstage sounds are not too shabby and I would like them to load into Logic Pro.
    Since my external soundcard is pretty much fried, I wanted to know if there's a way to rewire Mainstage into Logic Pro using the internal soundcard that the iMac provides?
    Thanks for all the responses,
    VN

    Hi
    Mainstage and Logic share exactly the same plugins, channel strip settings and the like (with the notable exceptions of Playback and Loopback, which are only available in Mainstage).
    There should be no need to attempt to hook up Mainstage to Logic simplly to load any sounds into Logic. Save the plugin presets or channel strips in Mainstage, and then Load them in Logic.

  • Dropping beat into logic pro only puts 1 minute of a 3 minute beat help

    Im taking a beat from iTunes and dropping it into logic pro x but the beat is 3 minutes long and logic pro will only take about 1 minute of the beat how do i stop it from cutting the beat that short

    1) Yes.. Either you can reinstall from the DVDs you got as part of the Boxed set of Logic Studio 2/Logic Pro or.. if you purchased Logic Pro via the app store, download it again by going to the App Store app on your new Mac and going to the purchased tab which, after signing in using your Apple ID and password, will allow you to download Logic once more.
    Note: In regards to the DVD boxed set... Some of the modern Macs no longer come with DVD/CD drives built in so you should make DMG images of your DVDs using your old Mac and the Disk utility...  and store them on an external Hard Drive which you can then contact to your new Mac and install Logic from
    2) You can select several regions at the same time and move them as you wish..
    If you hold down the option key you will actually be able to make a copy of them and when you move them the originals will still be left in place..

  • Adobe Audition Into Logic Pro 7?

    Do you know if there is a way to import adobe audition 2.0 files into Logic Pro 7? The reason I ask is beacsue someone wants me to work on a project for them and they recorded all their tracks for 5 songs in AA 2.0. I know garage band imports fine into Logic, but what about AA 2.0?
    Any plugins out there?

    Nope... beyond Adobe and Apple not exactly being best buds... Audition is a PC only application (for now...Mac release slated for 07).
