Newbie needs help to complete d8b hdr mac logic setup

[FrankH]

It's connected with a USB and I get eight tracks.

OK Phil, now I'm confused. We have been discussing a MOTU 2408 mk3....correct? USB? There is no USB port on a 2408. At least none I've ever seen.

Are you using a some sort of translator in between the 2408 and the Mac?

Thanks for the reply's guys, always good to have a few different ideas.

This is more than enough info for me to swallow over the next week or so. I will have a play about, have a think and keep you posted on what i decide to do. I might need a bit more help soon so keep a little eye on this thread for me.

Much appreciate your input, cheers,

Dean

Hi frank,

I have come across a traveller mk2 (i believe) on ebay here in Wales UK. Would this be adequate? Would this be all i need to carry out what i mentioned above? Would i still need a midisport 2x2 etc.

The mk2's here fetch no more than £200 while the mk3's are around £550. I am on a bit of a budget so if the mk2 is cool i'll go with that.

Need to rap this up quick before my brain fries. (doesn't take a lot lol)

Thanks for your help guys

But... audiowire requires the PCI card. I don't understand.

OMG Crazy mad small world! Im 40miles away in Swansea! How mad is that!

Whats your thoughts on the Motu Traveller Phil, do i need the Midisport 2x2 also?

I have 2 Travelers and IMHO, they are fantastic. MIDI included.

Thanks peter,

are they the mk2's or mk3's? Will a mk2 be cool for what i need? Do i need anything else in the chain etc?

This is all practically brand new to me. All this midi/sync/clock business is the most shady part in my mind. Once i get over this i should be fine. All i need to know right now is what to buy.

Dean.

Frank, I did'nt realise that the audio wire card was a PCI!

Dean, looks like the traveller will serve your needs, for what you are going to do, you are just using a Motu to get sound in and out of D8b and Logic you won't be using it for anything else.

Ok great stuff, cheers lads!

So there we have it, mk2 traveller it is! There's only one on ebay at the moment, and that's kinda rough, so i'll keep an eye out, if you come across any in uk please let me know.

Thanks again for everyones input, super appreciated!
