Its easier to get an idea/tap the MOTU I/O in your DAW using Cue Mix so when it comes to fault finding/sort out what channels are coming from where or going where for recording.You can tap/route/send audio out and or in to the MOTU reverb, you really need Cue Mix if you want to do this.Ĭue Mix has nice conventional analogue console simplicity and I think its quite pretty.But it does take a little getting used to (like anything) to get au fait with its functionality/feature set and control but the small learning curve is easily worth it imho.Nice organised pages so you can see overall layout/settings of I/O/Routing/Mixes/DSP FX and of course tweak.You can move/control fairly quickly on anything once your up to speed. Real handy if your MOTU is out of sight/reach.Ĭue Mix doesn’t get in the way or appear to take much CPU resources when running in the background. Option for visualisation of metering on all I/O at once (pre and post).Real handy for fault finding and of course monitoring levels. Significant number of audio analysis tools. Set up/store preset mix/recording setups and recall.(You can of course do this from the MOTU unit itself)īus routing up to x8…you also want to go bigger with ADAT/Sp-dif and increase/control physical i/o/routing Cue Mix will help.Ĭontrol/visualisation of DSP FX (they are very good too) for eq/compression/limiting, your mileage will vary depending on how you use them but you get a significant amount, also with respect to Cue Mix you get a DSP usage meter…the reverb is more than good enough…personally I like it a lot.
MOTU 828 MKIII ANDROID
You can use touch OSC (for android and iOS for £4) with cuemix template and remote control it over wifi with midiOSC. Great front end for visual control of the whole units features as mentioned below.Sure you can do it all from the MOTU’s front panel and real handy to have that option if you need it albeit slow and tedious if no computer.The main thing here is that if you use the MOTU as a standalone hardware mixer and are jamming out live from the MOTU (but still have a computer hooked up) with near zero latency monitoring, its no big deal still controlling the unit with Cue Mix.Don’t forget about the MOTU audio setup tool so you can rename all your channels/I/O and see whats what in Cue Mix (You can rename them in Cue Mix also) Is there any suggestions? Anyone having the same issue? I would like to get back to using this quality interface.I have an 828x…I use Cue Mix extensively…great bit of kit.
MOTU 828 MKIII UPDATE
After installing the driver software successfully, I have tried to run the firmware update with the device to see if I can get a detection response. The major issue, the only issue, is that my machines are not detecting the device. I can pass audio in and out of the 828 MK3 with no issues. The 828 MK3's audio input and output work just fine. This steers me away from thinking that my issue could be a FIREWIRE port issue with my machines.
MOTU 828 MKIII FULL
I also have a Presonus Firepod which is detectable by all machines and I am able to use this device with full functionality. The most recent driver has been installed on all machines but I don't get any response once the device is plugged in via FIREWIRE. Just recently my MOTU 828 MK3 hasn't been detected by any of my machines. The third machine is a windows desktop machine running 64bit windows 7, 12gb of Ram, gigabyte xtreme 58 motherboard, i7 processor.
