Hello everyone. I think my machine drum may be fault.. I have a motu 828mk2. I have it set to +4 output on the machine drum... But if anyway i try and boost the signal i get really loud noise.... +6 db boost = lots of noise on my virus or any other piece of kit there is NO noise is my machinedrum supposed to have this amount of noise? Should i record me changing the settings on the motu to show thats its there?

Its going from the main outs using new monster cables 6ft in length to the motu and from there to a powermac g5... but the noise is there prior to reaching the comp. the comp could be off and i still get the noise when i boost the signal...

It's always best to contact elektron about these things. --- In elektron-users@yahoogroups.com, "fr0st003" <fr0st003@y...> wrote: > > --- In elektron-users@yahoogroups.com, "fr0st003" <fr0st003@y...> wrote: > > > > Hello everyone.

Do you have it on headphones on the MD with only it plugged into the HD ? If it's on headphones then ask Elektron. Else it can be a ground loop… somewhere… Denis =G)

I have the same set up and I don't notice any noise at all. that is, UNTIL I start mastering and then solo the MD track. once I throw an EQ, compressor and limiter in there, it really makes that noise LOUD!

Im pretty angry about this i will have to pay to ship it to have it repaired... Cuzz as of now it is unusable. Youd think after 1200 for a instrument it would be silent...

Yeah you would think after $1200 they would at least have balanced outs!! :)
