New Motu FW/USB Vista and XP drivers

It has an option to choose stereo pairs or individual inputs. Yea baby

Well, I've downloaded it also. But I'm not installing until I know if it "moves me forward" instead of backward as the last update did. I (and, I'm sure, others) appreciate your courage in taking the hit for us CJ, ol pal. Keep us informed and I've got my fingers crossed for ya!

You sure about that? I have 96 on mine (same drivers).

Im sorry, I left out some info. At 96Khz the buffer goes to only 192. At 48khzz it goes to 96Cj

I'm getting a sonar effective latency: 2.2 msec

a quick test with cEntrance (round-trip):
Measurement results: 328 samples / 7.44 ms(@ 44kHz)
Measurement results: 328 samples / 7.44 ms(@ 48kHz)
Measurement results: 328 samples / 3.42 ms (@ 96kHz)

crazy jump down to 3.42 ms at 96KHz.....CJ you getting that too?

compared to the previous driver:

sonar effective latency: 2.9 msec

a quick test with cEntrance (round-trip):
Measurement results: 424 samples / 9.61 ms (@ 44kHz)
Measurement results: 424 samples / 8.83 ms (@ 48kHz)
Measurement results: 846 samples / 8.81 ms (@ 96kHz)

nah scrap my previous....more realistic measurement after a restart:
Measurement results: 654 samples / 6.81 ms (@ 96kHz)

yorolpal, have you measured using eEntrance or similar?

Hi-

FWIW, I saw this on the MOTU forum:

The new drivers have hardware calls to the MKIII dsp hardware which double the latency whether your unit has the hardware or not. For pre MKIII units it is probably best to use the 3.6.7.x driver.

and since I have a pre-MKIII Ultralite I'm going to leave mine alone!

Wow, my Alesis IO26 now has better roundtrip latency. I believe when I checked with Centrance tool, at 44.1 - 128 samples it was around 10ms roundtrip.
I'll check tonight if anyone wants the specific results. At work now.

Hmm one things odd...

Using the ultralite MKIII here..

Normally my music is sent out on the main outs... but the ultralite shows its on analog out 1 & 2.

Checked the audio console and the main out is configured as main out! ?


I also tried to change form main out to anlog 1&2 out in sonar.... ultralite responded by placing it on 3 &4? any ideas?


EDIT:

Tried the Wasapi drivers out..

For some reaosn it wouldn't again allow me to use the wavert drivers for the main out..
Checked in sound settings for vista64 that the they wren't exlusive.

I went back to the previous driver. I can get 2.ms lower in roundtrip latency. comapred to 7.1 roundtrip at 96khz, I can get 5.1ms at 96khz roundtrip latency with the older one. I also have the older older driver that i may play with also

Where can I find a copy of the old 3.6.7.4 driver?
I can't find my backup disk and its no longer on my harddrive.

I checked the website and it only seems to have the latest version...

If its no longer available, could some kind soul share a copy?

Thanks,

...Steven

I've been in contact with MOTU about the newest ASIO drivers shifting the outputs one-over, 1/2 outputs to 3/4, 3/4 outputs to 5/6, etc... I spoke with them this past Monday, March 16th 2009 and they were able to repro and confirm the issue and are working on getting the problem fixed. They told me to keep checking their website for news and newly posted drivers but there was no timeline as to when. The issue is that the audio drivers and the hardware meters are all offset.

Selecting:
Audio Driver Main Out 1/2 = playback metering/audio displayed/heard on Analog 1/2 on the Ultralite
Audio Driver Analog 1/2 = playback metering/audio displayed/heard on Analog 3/4 on the Ultralite
Audio Driver Analog 3/4 = playback metering/audio displayed/heard on Analog 5/6 on the Ultralite
Audio Driver Analog 5/6 = playback metering/audio displayed/heard on Analog 7/8 on the Ultralite
Audio Driver Analog 7/8 = playback metering/audio NOT DISPLAYED OR HEARD AT ALL on the Ultralite
Audio Driver S/PDIF = playback metering/audio displayed/heard on Main L/R on the Ultralite

The following webpage over at the MOTUNATION website has a link to the 3.6.7.3 driver...

Thanks for the offer.
Apparently a few of us are looking for this driver because your mailbox is now full.

Will try contacting you later.

BTW - Nathan, thanks for the link.

Cleared my inbox. Sorry for that.

Has anyone used this driver for the 2408mk3? I installed the new driver. The new Cue Mix is supposed to have a few new goodies, but my Cue Mix stayed the same. Maybe mine isn't capatible with the new drivers?

Are you sure it stayed the same? Mine looks the same but under edit tab (I can't remember right now the name of the tabs) you will see the spectrum anaylzer, and etc..
