We will be using MOTU hardware and software as long as they remain in business. How many companies today can you compare to that level of service? Not to mention their stellar tech support services, both online and telephone-based. EVEN THOUGH the 828 is WAY out of warranty, and EVEN THOUGH it may have been lightning-induced, and EVEN THOUGH it cost us $1000.00, MOTU is coming through and completely replacing our unit with a brand-new one for a measly $79.99 for diagnostics and handling. The good news is, of course, that MOTU stands behind their products. The end result was that the right mic input of the 828 started arcing somehow, shorting out in such a way that audible static was creeping onto the recordings we were making of the new Brainclaw single. Possibly, one of the many near-hits we’ve taken with all of the summer lightning storms finally made it through our elaborate system of power conditioners and surge suppressors. I realize that most of this decision comes down to my personal setup - whether I want to use up a Firewire or USB port on my Power Mac. Since MOTU now offers this interface in both Firewire and USB versions, I am a little unsure which to buy. The 828 is the nerve center of our operation… and it got wounded in battle. MOTU 828 mkII - Firewire or USB 2.0 I am set to purchase the MOTU 828mkII. It is essentially the powerful doorway to our Mac Pro, which handles all of the sequencing and recording duties, via the Digital Performer program. Well, our story begins with that interface.

We also have used MOTU audio interfaces for years.īrainclaw’s home base, the subterranean Studio Auroviral employs one serious piece of hardware, the MOTU 828 Mark II 96/24 audio interface, which allows us to digitally connect our synthesizers, drum machines and microphones to our Mac Pro for crystal clear audio design and production. Brainclaw has used MOTU’s Digital Performer program for years, and all Brainclaw music is written, sequenced, recorded and mixed inside this powerful and dynamic Macintosh-based environment. MOTU (their affectionate diminutive) designs and manufactures the best music production software and hardware in the business. Today I found out what an unbelievable company Mark Of The Unicorn is… Is there some sort of Logic Channel Re- Routing guide somewhere for using both 5.1 & stereo with a 828mk2. Please can any one help !!!? I've got my knickers in a major twist? the standard stereo sound file has no sound routed to it for a "bounce". as it's playing back through the L & R monitors of my 5.1 studio monitors (from 3 & 4 in Logic!).

Motu 828 mk2 usb2 audio interface manual in english for mac and windows vgc. I can't bounce a standard stereo mix out of Stereo Outputs (1&2). The MOTU 828mk3 Hybrid is a interface that has 2 mic preamps and 8 TRS. but the idea of choosing Outputs 3 & 4 to bounce a standard stereo audio file out of Logic seems totally nuts.?!

My Mac OSX stereo sound (eg iTunes) is playing out of the 828 by choosing OSX System Prefs Sound - "MOTU 828". I haven't bothered attempt a 5.1 bounce yet as what ends up in the resulting 6 audio files will certainly not work when mixing previous 5.1 mixes. I've got a surround mix happily playing out of all six Logic channels and correctly playing back out of the right 828 analogue outs with Logic Prefs I/O Assignments like this: but can it be that the MOTU 828 mk 2 designers made it impossible to use for Logic users working in surround. However I can't sort out a basic output routing in the 828 mk 2 for what should be straight forward? monitoring and bouncing was simple and obvious. and ordinary stereo came out of Logic via channels 1 & 2 into 1 & 2 of the 828 mk 1. 5.1 surround came out of Logic Audio Channel Outputs 1-6 then via the Firewire went into the 828 mk 1 and out of the corresponding channels. The Mk I input & output channels seemed so obvious to set up in Logic I/O prefs. I'm setting up a MOTU 828 Firewire Mk II after my Mk I just went down.

Is anyone aware of a web link for a guide of MOTU 828 mkII I/O's using Logic 9? The 828 mkII manual doesn't make mention of how to assign Logic Inputs or Outputs in relation to the MOTU 828 channels and "bouncing". Apologies if this is a blast from the past for many of you. The 828 mk3 hybrid from motu is a digital audio interface that provides connectivity to any mac or windows computer via firewire or high-speed usb 2.0 I was able to test the 828 MkII with both desktop (2.6GHz Pentium 4 with 1MB RAM) and laptop (2.0GHz Pentium 4 with 512MB RAM) systems, both of which were running Windows XP.
