Motu Audio Express Crash
Hello,
I recently installed a Motu Audio Express to use for live recording of my piano. I use ASIO for it and the Delta Audiophile soundcard, so I have to switch back and forth in the Reaper preferences between the two to record and then listen to the recording through the studio speakers.
That was working OK (albeit painfully) until I opened the Motu GUI to monitor the input. After doing that, the next time I tried to switch, the PC (Windows 7) crashed hard. When I rebooted, Reaper still recognized the Motu at the top level, but would not allow it to be used, and didn't show the input or output options in the lower level dropdowns. (I got the startup message asking if I wanted to change my audio preferences). After switching to the delta, everything came up and ran.
I plan to research on the Motu forums also, but I wanted to check here whether anyone knows of problems with this interface in general or with Reaper in particular, and if it's a known restriction to not have the device GUI active when swapping ASIO devices in Reaper. At this point, I'm assuming that this use of the GUI was directly related since it had worked fine switching previously, but it's just a guess.
Later,
Hartley
