Hey everyone,
it seems, recently I'm putting up a lot of old stuff, but - that's all I got (an old man with lots of old stuff).
I got a Motu2408 mkIII here in my rack, with the analog i/os running straight into my trusty patchbay. The Motu is connected via TDIF to my DM.
Now, I do get input - but no output. Well, that's not quiet right, but let me explain:
1. Since the Motu is hooked up via TDIF, all 8 TDIF inputs are assigned to the last eight inputs of my IF-FW/DM mkII. So in my DM-Routing you will find the following under the OUTPUT SLOT tab:
Terminal select: Slot1 Trk 25 -32
Input Bypass: TDIF1
Output Select:
1 TDIF1 Trk1
2 TDIF1 Trk2
... and so on.
This way, I get access to the inputs from my siderack.
2.Now I want to route a signal out of the DAW, and fetch it at the physical outputs of the Motu unit. Maybe it is important to know that I do not own the pcie-card. It's just connected via TDIF.
Now, I'll be damned, if TDIF isn't bi-directional, but I'm sure it's eight channels in, eight channels out, right?
As expected, I can hear a guitar plugged in at input 1 on output 1. But what, if I want to route DAW-signals out of the Motu?
Here's what I did:
Under above mentioned Routing screen on the DM, I hit the second tab, just labeled OUTPUT.
Terminal select: TDIF1
Input Bypass: Slot 1
Output Select:
1 Slot 1 Trk9
2 Slot1 Trk10
... and so on.
Well, if I'm not completely mistaken, I should receive any signal from the DAW, which is routed to the IF-FW/DM outputs 9 and 10, shouldn't I?
I got the Motu back a long time ago, and as I said: there is no pcie-card involved, just TDIF connection. Any mistakes on my behalf?
Looking forward for your input on this,
best regards
