When you talk about how your DAW is set, I hope that you aren't talking about your recording host software like Sonar. Your recording settings in Sonar, regarding sample rate/bit depth, have absolutely nothing to do with the configuration of your audio interface. Any changes that you're making regarding the connection of the Motif should be going on in the FW1884 control panel. Also, there is no need to concern yourself with clock transmition. Unlike other digital audio formats, S/PDIF transmits at a fixed clock. There is no need or ability to transmit a clock signal for an S/PDIF connection. I've used the Motif XS's s/PDIF connection very rarely. I used it with my MOTU Ultra lite and my Presonus Firebox. It worked fine in both cases. I'm sure that it can work with the FW1884, given the right FW1884 settings. Those other interfaces are very cheap when compared to the FW1884. Of course, mLAN is quite superior as a digital connection, but XP doesn't have sufficient audio resources to run mLAN with another audio interface at the same time. Based on what I've read, I think that Vista will allow mLAN and another audio interface to run at the same time, but I haven't had enough courage yet to try Vista on my DAW.

So now I know that its not the clock settings so I am back at step 1. Any other ideas anyone? Poor me jajaja.

Maybe you should set sample clock source on "internal", not automatic. In my case, I can't switch between 44.1 khz and higher, if the clock source on tascam is set on automatic. How ever, the owner's manual says that the digital out of the XS is on 44.1 khz , 24 bits. I don't think, you can change that for the XS.

I don't know if that means that the entire Tascam system must be at 44kHz or not. I'm not even 100% certain that the s/pdif out on the Motif XS runs at 48. You might try using the Tascame at 48 to see if that makes a difference. I wouldn't run your DAW at 48kHz. That is an odd-ball rate. Most people run at 44 or 96. If you run at 48, it will make it difficult to exchange projects with others.

You should investigate on the Tascam, though, as there isn't anything that you can change on the Motif.

I have the Motif plugged in to the in of the Tscam FW 1884 and when I hold a note I get clicks sometimes on the write then the left channel. I have no idea what to try to solve this.

SPDIF on the XS works at a fixed sampling rate of 48kHz, and I think, 24-bit resolution. Anyhow, you can't change it.

Can anyone give me the steps on how to get this done.? thanks Oscar Corella Phone: 520-241-2445 Fax: 520-748-1151 For links to all Motif info for blind owners, visit www.MoAccess.info.
