The audio quality of the 828 is superb and far better sounding than my other interfaces! In Ableton I am able to get amazingly low latency (about 8 ms).

I’ve tested this method in Ableton 9, Cubase 5, and DP 8.5. You’ll see the MOTU audio ASIO driver listed in there. After that open up your DAW and go to the driver settings.
#Buy motu 828 mk2 install
By default windows 7 64 bit will select the newest 1394 driver for the unit, but it will not function this way.Īfter you install the legacy driver, restart your computer then install the MOTU audio software. Select a new driver and make sure you select the 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller (Legacy). Find the 828 in your devices and right click it. Open your device manager with the 828 connected to your computer via firewire and turned on. To get the 828 to work you need to change a setting in your device manager for the device. If you do, you’ll see the 828 on your system, but it will not function correctly. (UPDATE 2017, make sure to read the comments below to find the download for windows) Download it but do not install it yet. When I went to MOTU’s website I was amazed to find they still supported it with their audio driver which you can download here. They feature a total of 18 inputs, have optical in and outs, 2 xlrs, spdif, ADAT sync, a dedicated hardware monitor and a firewire interface. The original 828 is an excellent audio interface that you can find for very cheap on Ebay or Craigslist. A while ago I came into a very old MOTU interface for very cheap and wasn’t sure if it would work on a new 64 bit system, but with a little tinkering, it will work and work very well!
