I just got a Motu Ultralight to do multitrack recordings of my band. I've been recording to a GTech Firewire drive through my G4 Powerbook, no problems. I took my laptop and drive home to edit and mix and leave the wired up Ultralight in the studio. But when I try to playback in AudioDesk I get an error message that says I can't "play or record audio because the Motu audio system has been disabled".
i switched drivers in my Audio Midi setup so that they are internal. I tried to change the outputs on my individual tracks in AD to internal but the drop down is grayed out. I tried restarting the audio drivers under Setup. I also tried to Configure Audio System under Setup as well but that was grayed out. I've got the media and project files. Why do I need the Motu interface for playback? What can I do? Thanks Paul |

AudioDesk will not output audio without a MOTU hardware interface attached to your system. It's a form of copy protection, I believe. Unfortunately, if you want to use it at home, you'll need an UltraLite or other compatible MOTU interface - built-in audio just won't work.

Thanks for the feedback. Very retarded of MOTU. I'll call tech support to see if there's a work around.
