HELP!!!! MOTU PCI-324 card needed ASAP! - 2008/02/22 21:51 Well, here at Neurottica's little hovel are in HELL!
We've got 2 problems -

First, We need a replacement for the MOTU PCI-324 - it seems like it took a surge hit last night and it is now not work - all of our 9 recorded songs which are 3/4 done are stuck - does anyone have a PCI-324 card local to the Portsmouth area that they would like to sell? We are can travel to get it - Of course it is SNOWING! There are plenty of swear words flying around here and the frustration level is beyond high. We have taken the day off from work to try and resolve this since we have the entire band coming to record the final tracks and takes this weekend. If you have any advice or know a fix let us know - we are operating it from a Mac G5 - desktop and it now has to be updated to OS9.1 because we have been on OS9.0 but they do not offer any support for it - in fact the thing we got to back up everything and store the files does not work unless it is 9.1 or newer!!! UGH!!!! TEARS- CRYING- SCREAMING - RESIGNATION - IS THIS THE END OF RPM FOR US????

Also the LA2A is making a hiss - like a very light static sound on the drum tracks we laid down - this problem showed up first - have any of you heard of such a thing happening? If so, know any fix or tweak? I am not sure if the 2 issues are linked - they could be...

Please- any help email me at suttreestreet@yahoo.com or private message me here - I will be checking back on and off all day.

I am off to Staples to see if I can get a back up for the OS9.0... ugh.

Re:HELP!!!! MOTU PCI-324 card needed ASAP! - 2008/02/22 23:02 arg!

i think i may have a os 9 install somewhere... i thought that you could DL 9.2.2 though?? i haven't used anything earlier than 9.2.2 since i upgraded, sorry... 5 years ago!

are you sure that you can't run a newer version of DP that can run on OSX?

good luck!!

Re:HELP!!!! MOTU PCI-324 card needed ASAP! - 2008/02/22 23:06 We are reinstalling the OS 9 - and backing up the files - but the card seems to be corrupt - got any ideas about that?

If we upgrade to OSX then we have to learn the new DP version as well as the OSX - big learning curve this late in the game. Plus not to mention the cost of it... yikes!

can you call me to talk about this? Please? we need a little help...

Re:HELP!!!! MOTU PCI-324 card needed ASAP! - 2008/02/22 23:08 OK, I can call Chris M. I didn't think of him. I do not know him well, but TS does - so I will get on it.

Thanks.

I have sent out the snow patrol trying to track you down - so when Jamie and the lady in Maine with your old phone number and Atlantic Recording call you and tell you a some chick has been looking for you... now you know!

Ha!

great idea - I knew you were the go to man!
