I am running 3.0 under Win2k using a MOTU 2408 interface
and a SB Live card- regardless of input (MOTU or Live) ,
any audio I record comes out sounding like I used a ring
modulator with distortion on it! Any ideas as to what could
be causing this?

Hi
I have the MOTU-2408 (1st ver) and have recorded at least
12 tracks of vocals crystal clear. I am running Win98se Im
waiting for MOTU to get the bugs worked out of their Win2k
drivers. Does this happen with mono or stereo files? Do you
have Make new track follow project tempo (Record Window)
What Recording Device do you have selected in the Record
Window? I don't know if this will help you but here is how
my console is set up for 3ea. I/Os for Win98se.
Sample Rate 44100
Buffer Size 512
Clock Source PCI-324
Monitor Out Analog 1-2
Configure Interface 2408-1 (I have the same for 3 I/Os)
Enable Routing & Mono Routing (checked)
Bank A= Analog, all 8 outputs From Computer, all inputs
checked
Bank B=ADAT, all outputs NONE, Inputs unchecked.
Bank C=SPDIF, all outputs From Computer, all inputs checked

Go to Control Panel>Multimedia>Devices>Audio Devices
>Audio for PCI-324 Multimedia Drivers
select it and click on Properties>settings and in Advance
Settings check Show Only Active Ports.

I hope this helps

Frankly- 3.0 seems buggy under Win2k- maybe it has to do
with the drivers- anyway- Regardless of whether new track
is set to follow tempo or not there are probs- if I record
at 44.1 the track comes out sloooowwww and distorted, if I
use 48k it comes out correct speed but same awful sound- I
double check MOTU settings- all are fine- sample rate gets
adjusted properly if I change it in Acid- however- after
recording I get the pointer with hourglass symbol on the
track area- I can access the text menu on top but that is
all- however all keyboard shortcuts work fine- I will
uninstall/re-install and see if that helps-

I saw this statement in the readme file: A driver issue
with MIDIMan USB devices may prevent recording.
This is more thean a bit vague- and I use a Midisport 2x2
in my setup- what exactly does this mean? Is anyone from SF
reading these posts? Is this a moderated forum? Thanks-

This is not a official support forum for SF. While there
are SF employees lurking, it is considered a peer-to-peer
support forum.

The problem with the MIDIMan USB MIDI drivers is that the
drivers do not control the stream of MIDI data correctly.
As soon as the device is opened, they begin streaming any
MIDI data that appears on the port. This is incorrect. This
early data can "confuse" ACID 3, though it is not a problem
for all users. MIDI man is aware of the problem is will be
releasing a fix for the drivers.
