MOTU 896HD Firewire DEAD... any workarounds?

tonymission · 25th June 2008, 09:10 PM

So it's been determined by the most condescending, arrogant tech support rep (Joe? Joel?) ever at MOTU that my firewire is dead on my 896HD and it requires a $79.95 repair that they can take VISA OR MC for ("how did you want to pay?"

Well, Joe -- you clown -- I want to try to sell this POS for $500 so I can get an Apogee Duet to be honest... do you think it's even worth that much?

Anyway...

I dont have time to be sending stuff all over country -- I have tons of projects that need to get finished up .. like ... today. 8000sq feet isnt cheap rent...

Is there anyway I can still use this to record somehow ... ?? it works in stand alone.. i mean... the fantom is full of stuff that needs to get tracked even temporarily... how bad is this 1/8 input? lol

help!!!

anyone got a duet for trade?

mac or pc?

you could possibly use the adat in/out to connect to the mac pro in/out via adat - i've never done it but know the connections are there so worth a look. i don't know how many channels it supports
