as there should be a MOTU CoreAudio driver, you should certainly be able to hook up your MOTU 828 audio interface to the Garageband 2 application.

I would almost guarantee that you will be able to do so. For instance, I have seamless action with my Firepod, and it's a equally respectable interface with much of it's support out there.

I'd go with this:
If it can be played on Core Audio... then it is applicable in GarageBand.

I looked around for this answer forever. Here is what I have found so far in my own experience:

The Motu 828 DOES work with Garageband. However, I can only get it to record when I plug into the front Guitar/Mic input 1. Even though you are given the option to choose which input to activate when you open a new track, I don't seem to be able to get any line in inputs to work. Only Mic/Guitar 1.

I am hoping that the GB2 upgrade may change this for the better.

If anyone knows any additional info, would love to hear it!

I am having the same problem. Only the front mic/guitar inputs work. The other (line) inputs show up in garageband but don't work (no audio coming in)

Very frustrating!!! Is there a new driver or something we need?

All inputs now work!!!

Garageband2 and MOTU 828MKII work fine together with the latest drivers installed. Note that users with earlier versions of the 828 firmware (<1.03) should select the "custom install" and both install options when loading the driver.

The inputs map as follows:

In applications such as GarageBand where the inputs only show up as numbered inputs (Input 1, Input 2, etc.) and not by their name (Mic / Gtr 1, Mic / Gtr 2, etc.), the inputs always follow a certain order. The I/O scheme for the 828mk2 is:


* INPUT
o 1-2 : Mic / Guitar 1-2
o 3-10 : Analog 1-8
o 11-12 : S/PDIF 1-2
o 13-14 : Mix1
o 15-22 : ADAT 1-8
* OUTPUT
o 1-2 : Main Outs
o 3-10 : Analog 1-8
o 11-12 : S/PDIF 1-2
o 13-14 : Phones 1-2
o 15-22 : ADAT 1-8


Since Mic / Guitar 1-2 are Inputs 1-2, that means Analog inputs 1-8 become Inputs 3-10.



This can also be found in the 828mk2 manual (page 76) and in the online tech notes database ( http://www.motu.com/techsupport/technotes/...7-14.6562762048 ).

btw - MOTU email support provides excellent turn around and follow through.

I wish Presonus provided the same great support.

i agree ... the manual that comes with the firepod gives no instructions on how to set it up with mac's just directs you to the apple site which has no info at all!
