Motu 828mkii, mirror Master Output to TOSLink Options

[averogi]

Hello, first of all my hardware setup:

Motu firewire 828mk2;
Ti PowerBook, 867Mhz, 768 Mb RAM, 40 Gb HardDisk, OS 9.2.2;
Logic Audio 4.8.1

I must tell that everything works just fine, but I have just two problems:

1. Is it possible to mirror the master analog output (11-12) to the TOSLink optical stereo output (13-14)?

Until now I didn't achieve to monitor the computer software generated sound and at the same time record this signal on a DAT via TOSLink. It seems to me that the Master output must be analog OR digital, but both at the same time how can I do this with the 828mk2????

2. Is it possible to mirror the master analog output (11-12) to the incorporated phones output of the PowerBook (using soundmanager?) ?

Sometimes when I am on the road I only have my PowerBook with me. And it is very annoying to have
to change from ASIO MOTU Firewire back to MacAV then, and change all outputs, busses etc (this automatic conversion made by Logic isn't free from bugs..). For me it would be very nice to have this option.

Thanks.

Hi there,

Thanks for your reaction. Actually the conversion asked to be done by Logic for each file going from MacAV to ASIO, in my case is done properly in exeption for the outputs and busses. So I write them down (levels and busnumber) and copy it in the new Logic file.

And what about the digital TOSLink output? Can you output the master to both an analog and the digital stereo output?
Do you know anything about this option? I've mailed to MOTU techsupport but they didn't reply to my messege yet...????
