i had cubase 6 and had the greying out problem when i upgraded to yosemite. don't know if that's your situation but they work fine on mavericks. also, i just upgraded to cubase 8 and am on yosemite and everything was fixed.

I have Shure 940`s and 840`s and Sony v6. All good. I like the shures better. The 840's are flatter but the 940's tell you what's going on with the low end better. Little tighter.

cool. that sounds like a good plan. how hard is the brass to cut with a drill bit and how do you keep them steady so the bit doesn't slip and scratch the body? and what kind of drill bit did you use?

any suggestions for fastening this guy to the microphone body? it has those two little raised posts on the back of the badge. did these typically sit off the surface of the mic or did the mic body have two indented holes for the badges to sit in?

I do time machine backups to a dedicated folder on a Synology server. There's a bunch of Synology server models. They are configured in RAID so they're automatically triplicated once backed up. From there I have the Synology backup to the cloud every night for offsite backup.
Synology servers are great for managing other media for your household too and other computer backups. Remote access, etc...

Yeah, I've been trying to reproduce this error and for the life of me haven't been able to. Oh, that's right, I'm in Cubase.

like the idea of the red tape. why are you inserting pre's in line mode, for added color? you got it, the vp28's are astoundingly great in that capacity, they're like the gift that keeps on giving 8) do you typically adjust gain at all or just leave everything at unity?

i think bruce is saying you just leave the 1/4" end plugged in all of the time so you just connect the xlr end when necessary. that would work, but not the prettiest.. and limiting, i have my patch panel set up like dan mentioned above, on my new set up i'm probably going to go 48 through a single dedicated patchbay and label with cautionary red, i will be using the pre's in line mode a lot as inserts on my console, to have them set up as they are now will be totally inconvenient moving forward IMV. like the idea of the red tape. why are you inserting pre's in line mode, for added color?

They are going to sell so many $50 USB-C to ______ dongles for this thing... i heard they were actually $80 but who's counting at that point.

Yeah. I have the Samson S-Patch Plus bay and it's very versatile with having the switches for normal, half-normal, and thru right on the front. 48v has always worked fine.

how does it perform on windows PC? Very curious. If the driver is good then I might sell my UFX and get 16A instead. * Quick question. Can you connect 24AO and AI through an ethernet cable? For example if I am using 24Ao as my main interface connected to a PC through USB can I then add 24Ai to this system by connecting it to the 24Ao through ethernet instead of 6 ADAT cables? KJ, yes, you can. You can connect up to 5 (if i'm not mistaken) of the MOTU devices via the MOTU AVB switch, and 2 connected directly to each other without having to purchase a switch.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up. And we want technical. One last question. If two MOTU units are connected directly to each other with the ethernet, how do you access the web GUI for the mixer etc.? Can this also be accessed via thunderbolt/ usb connection? Our drivers include a tiny web server that tunnels the web app traffic back and forth over the Thunderbolt or USB connection. The interface connected to the computer will show up in the AVB Discovery app just as if it were discovered via the network. As well, each interface runs a forwarding server for any interfaces that it sees. That means that although you're not connected directly to interface 2 at all, interface 1 will act as your go-between. As a result, interface 2's web app is not directly accessible but will be available inside interface 1's. I'm guessing that you will need the avb switch to be able to access the gui with an ipad or other wireless device, correct? there's no way around that?

oh, the eq was patched in alright, i just had the wrong channel selected!

Above each AUX channel are sends that can be sent to HP (headphone) or outputs 3/4. Is that what you're looking for? Maybe i'm confused as to what you're trying to do.

ok, that's what i thought. it was the last line in the manual. thought it was a bit odd.

reason i ask is i've been doing this for quite some time now and noticed in a patch bay manufacturers manual that it said it was not a good idea to plug a mic directly into a patch bay. I've heard of needing to be careful when doing this with phantom power and the ribbon mics etc... but never heard of patchbays having a negative effect on microphones plugged into them....

nice. seems to be very well thought out. i love the idea of being able to access the gui from any device. likely be picking up at least one 16a in the near future.

Hi mrmiller, thanks for all the info. Is there a chance AVB will work on a standard gigabit router but might suffer from high network traffic if the network becomes busy? Or is there something in the AVB switch that tells it not to work? I have routers that I can manually assign bandwidth priority from assignable LAN ports and also prioritize the type of data that gets priority. Will this be good enough? Thanks for all the info you've shared here! Definitely thinking about picking up a unit or two. No, you will not be able to connect AVB streams if there is non-AVB capable hardware between the two AVB nodes. Any hardware hoping to participate in an AVB network must support certain standards related to packet prioritization (802.1Q), bandwidth reservation (802.1Qat) and precise synchronization and timing (802.1AS). When an AVB node is connected to the network, it's supposed to announce its arrival and probe the network for other nodes and clocking info. Depending on what kind of response it gets, it will decide whether it's connected to an AVB-capable device or not. If not, it is not supposed to send any AVB traffic over that port. Sorry, that got rather technical. In short, you need an AVB-compliant switch to be able to send AVB streams through it. A normal switch or router will work for accessing the web app, however. If you only have two AVB devices, however, you don't need a switch—just connect them directly with an ethernet cable. Ok, thanks for clearing that up. And we want technical. One last question. If two MOTU units are connected directly to each other with the ethernet, how do you access the web GUI for the mixer etc.? Can this also be accessed via thunderbolt/ usb connection? Thanks!

mrmiller is a forum member and a MOTU software developer for the AVB product line, I am pretty sure he can explain it much better than me! But i can elaborate a bit about it. AVB is a prioritized ethernet open standard. AFAIK you can run networks of devices with up to 512 channels with AVB-capable routers in star configurations, configured from every computer device in the network (which can be many that have access to the whole bunch of device configuration and streams at the same time!). You aren't limited to MOTU devices, there are other routers, even an AVB ethernet soundcard (Echo) for Windows. Modern TBolt-capable Macs have AVB audio support inbuilt thru the OSx drivers! It's a very interesting concept. Especially since ethernet was not intended for realtime streaming of hundreds of high-res AV-streams! Obviously it is VERY cool you can use CAT5e/CAT6 computer network cables that can run hundreds of meters with your realtime streams, even more if you use glass fibre computer network! And still maintaining the low level compatibility of ethernet, i.e. devices have IPs, they run as little webservers that can be configured thru any webbrowser in the the network. Fascinating. (I can feel how my spock ears grow...) Yup, that pretty much covers it! I think the important take-home point is that this is an IEEE standard. Unlike previous attempts at ethernet-based audio (Dante/RedNet, CobraNet, Ravenna, etc.), the standard is open so that anyone can implement it without having to license it from a single company. PreSonus just announced AVB consoles at NAMM. Avid announced them last year or so. We'll all be able to interoperate and participate in an AVB network (well, pending testing with newcomers to iron out bugs on either end). We're trying to put out a pretty comprehensive set of boxes. The dream is definitely not a closed system with only MOTU gear, though, hence why I think AVB being an open standard is so important. Latency in the standard is guaranteed sub 2ms across up to 7 hops, connected by up to 100m cable runs. Our guarantees are slightly stricter at .625ms. The guarantees are part of the standard which require implementations to support packet prioritization (so your YouTube watching doesn't stop your realtime audio); bandwidth reservation; and high precision time stamping and clock synchronization. Unfortunately, that means you do need networking hardware that supports the AVB standards. Hopefully it will become more widespread, but it's not available in consumer network gear as of now. We make a 5 port switch that's probably the cheapest on the market. Otherwise, there are switches from Extreme Networks and Netgear available. AVB opens up a lot of really cool possibilities and simplifies a lot of configurations. And it will only get better as more companies adopt it. Hi mrmiller, thanks for all the info. Is there a chance AVB will work on a standard gigabit router but might suffer from high network traffic if the network becomes busy? Or is there something in the AVB switch that tells it not to work? I have routers that I can manually assign bandwidth priority from assignable LAN ports and also prioritize the type of data that gets priority. Will this be good enough?

i mean, i can see how it would improve the 002, but is there really a drastic amount of room for improvement on a device like the orion? seems to get great reviews already....
