MOTU 24io and Pro Tools 10 Help

[Leopold]

I'm running PT10 with a MOTU 24io and for some reason it's not enabling the inputs/outputs on channels 3-6. All the rest 1-2, 7-24 seem to be working with no trouble. When I choose those channels no signal is output from them even though the meters on the PT screen show them as playing. The hardware is fine, so I have no clue why only those channels aren't working.


Any idea what is going on?

Thanks,
Eddie

Have you been able to make the I/O in question on another DAW?

Have you gone into your I/O setup and checked it out?

Go through your IO settings in PT.
Also make sure the tracks you are recording to have a correct output chosen.
Also, does the sound come back out of the MOTU in stand alone mode?

RTFM... you will probably find the answer there...

also make sure everything is setup right in the MOTU Cuemix console. that can cause problems sometimes.

Update:
So I went into the I/O settings and I seem to have gotten almost everything to work correctly. However, now there is a new problem.
While tracking on channels 1-2, I can't monitor the signal, it's recording, I can see the waveform being created but can't hear it.
Once I'm done recording, upon playback, it's fine, sounds just like what I put in.
The correct outputs are chosen and the setting are the same in the "I/O Settings" menu as the rest of the channels...but no signal while recording.
I did notice that on the MOTU 24io meters, the inputs do show a signal present but on the output meters there is nothing happening until playback, but again, not while recording.
I double checked the input/output/buss paths and these all seem to be correct.

Any clue as to what might be going on?

like mattcastore mentioned, have you checked the cuemix 424(pci) card outputs?

i've never tried pt10, but when running 9 i always have to make sure that all of the outputs and inputs are right on the cuemix pci controller and then again on the protools engine. my guess is that output 1-2 is perhaps not checked off on the 424 card.

aside from that i don't know why you don't get any monitoring while recording. the setup at the studio is set up so all the 24io outputs go direct to the board. don't usually monitor off of 1-2.

let us know if you got it rolling! i've been curious about pt10 but man what an investment! pt 9 works fine right now so i'm sticking with it!

LLM for third party interfaces simply disables software monitoring for record enabled tracks assigned to analogue 1-2. If you enable LLM you will need to use your software mixer (sapphire, cuemix etc) to route the input to the output to give the near zero latency monitoring.


Here's a link to the thread from another board in case someone runs into similar issues:
