Hello everyone,

I own a dual MOTU 896 rig. This is not the more recent HD version but
the original 896. Way back when i got the first one it came with Cuemix
software for zero latency monitoring. I could never get it to work.
Here's what would happen:

Go to Start menu - MOTU - Firewire Cuemix Console *double click*....
and nothing.

I finally gave up and just relied on the horsepower of my machine to
deliver around 6ms roundtrip latency through the native DAW.

Fastforward a few years and I'm wishing this was zero latency and a
friend reminded me about this whole Cuemix thing and zero latency
monitoring. So I updated all my drivers from the MOTU site and the
exact same thing happens on my Desktop and on my Laptop rigs. The
Cuemix fails to launch.

I found hints on newsgroups/support that Cuemix Consoles only work with
the HD versions of the 896's and not the originals which i own. Can
anyone verify this?

Here are my systems' specs:

Desktop:
P4C800 Deluxe/3ghz P4 Processor. WinXP SP1 1gig RAM
Laptop:
Acer 1.73 Intel Centrino M, WinXP SP1 1.5gig RAM

Both systems running Cubase SX2.

Thanks,

Mike
