Members Diametro Posted March 20, 2008 Members Share Posted March 20, 2008 I just got a MOTU 828MkII and trying to record in Garageband ... although the audio interface is working (can play audio from mac and the MOTU metering program shows channel activity ... ) but when I go into garageband and select the appropriate channels (mono1, mono2, stereo 3+4, stereo 5+6) for each track, nothing ... no levels ... What am I missing here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Birdienumnum Posted March 20, 2008 Members Share Posted March 20, 2008 I don't have a 828MkII and I don't use GarageBand but . . . does the 828 show up in Apple's AudioMIDI control panel? Does it show up as the interface in GarageBand's settings? I know Analog Kid has a 828mkII, you could go over to Analogia and ask him . . .

Members eric Posted March 20, 2008 Members Share Posted March 20, 2008 In GB, hit Preferences, Audio/MIDI and change the Audio Output and Input to MOTU. That should do the trick. Regards,Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Diametro Posted March 21, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 21, 2008 I tried all that to no avail ... GB will play audio through my interface but does not recognize the input -- though I am hearing it through the interface ... I'm thinking maybe it's something with the interface ... Believe it or not I can't find a manual online for this 828 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eric Posted March 21, 2008 Members Share Posted March 21, 2008 Try reinstalling the MOTU software and also make sure you have the most recent drivers from MOTU's site. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not I can't find a manual online for this 828 ... Do you have the 828 set up correctly in the MOTU Audio Setup software? There are two pieces of MOTU software that you have to use:-- Audio Setup (where you enable/disable inputs and outputs)-- Cue Mix (mixer software) I believe MOTU only sells paper manuals. You can buy an 828 manual from them ($20):https://www.motu.com/store/manuals MOTU's practice of not having HARDWARE manuals available for downloading is really weird. Given we are talking hardware here, its not like anyone could really do much with just the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Diametro Posted March 21, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 21, 2008 thanks for the help ... PROBLEM SOLVED ... for some reason the MOTU is assigning channel into one into 3, two into 4, etc. Not sure why that was tripping EVERYTHING UP, but it's not anymore ... Records all tracks simultaneously ... very nice ... Now I can go back to the Jupiter ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kennychaffin Posted March 21, 2008 Members Share Posted March 21, 2008 Whats the PC equivalent of GarageBand (or is it available for PC? I didn't find it). KAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members raffor Posted March 21, 2008 Members Share Posted March 21, 2008 Now I can go back to the Jupiter ... Good to see you up and running. Now it is time to take some pictures of your JP6 and show them to us!!! How do you like it so far. Should be very complimentary to your Juno.
