What can Daisy Chain to MOTU 896?
Is it possible to daisy chain any other firwire MOTU interface to an 896? Also, is it possible to chain a presonus firepod to an 896?

I am currently running 2xMOTU 896's devices with no problems. You can even run the 896HD with an 896 as well. In theory this should work with 2 devices, but the are some hardware issues with the MOTU FW's. Are you looking to get another MOTU? What system are you running? Ie, motherboard, chipset, FW card or onbard FW, type of FW... Let me know Tim |

Thanks for the reply. I am running an 896 on my G5 with LogicPro. I am hoping to add some inputs without going the whole distance of getting another 896 all together. So wanted to see if there are other options...like chaining an 828 or using an optical device like an Alesis AI-3 or any other optical input device (like the berrhinger 8x pre). But I've heard rumors that the 896 doesn't work with the optical input stuff...is that true?

As far as how well it actually works and if you can use all 8 analog channels and the 8 ADAT channels at the same time, who knows until you try it out. ![]() Maybe you should rent the unit for a week first before you make the purchase to ensure that it works the way you want it too ![]() Cheers, Tim |
