MOTU 8pre into M-audio 410 through optical cable

I was trying to connect these two units together, M-audio being a main interface connected to PC through firewire. I connected MOTU 8-pre out into M-audio IN with optical cable. Pro Tools were running and froze right away. So I restarted computer, and can't seem to find any sign of MOTU connected on the PC. Pro Tools say that paths for inputs 5 - 32 are not found.

MOTU 2408 sync problems

Hi Guys, I'm using 3 x MoTU 2408 with Cubase vst5 on a mac g4. I'm having a problem trtansferring a track from my Fostex DAT via the optical connection through my TC finalizer then through sp/dif into the motus and then into Cubase as a stereo master file, which I can cut and export to burn. I'm getting digital glitches on the transfer.

Cubase/Tascam/MOTU vs Pro Tools/Digidesign

Which do you choose?

I'm debating on working with Pro Tools and using a Digidesign C|24 as a control surface, and a 003 rack... Or going a cheaper route and using Cubase with a Tascam DM4800, and a MOTU interface

I have had a little more experience with cubase, a little easier for me to work with, but what do you guys think?
Is it that big of a difference?

MOTU

Hello All,

I am looking at purchasing MOTU 896mk3 to go with a Cubase Studio 4 built on a Mac Pro system. Has anyone already implemented this setup? Are there any problems getting it to work? Is there an other hardware interface out there that you would recommend in place of the 896mk3 that is under the 1,500 price range?

Thanks in advance.
