I'm trying to get the audio input object in QC to recognize my MOTU 896. I'd like to have audio peaks control different parameters, but the only input that seems to work is the built-in mic and input. This seems like a bug or a major oversight at the very least on Apple's part.... any help would be appreciated.

I believe there should be *some way* to get the MOTO 896 to deliver some sort of audio input into QC using the standard audio object, though you may have some sort of two channel limit. You may have to adjust system settings to make the MOTO the default input device (I don't remember the steps... anytime I've done this, it's a a kind of 3~4 minute mess around, and I can't remember the exact order of steps... it may also require restarts of QC.)


QC does actually see the 896 but never really receives audio from it. Also, it does not populate the second drop down menu with any additional options.

It should give a structure output of at least two channels audio peak (I believe), and then a structure output of multiple frequency bands, using the stock object. I'm not sure if this will come off of the first two channels from the motu, or what would be your monitor mix, or ? I don't think there is *any* stock way to receive all of the channels.

However...

If you wish to get robust multichannel support, with an audio peak for each channel, I would look into Kineme Audio Tools plugin/patch (http://kineme.net ). I've used this with firewire devices and had 8 or more channels in; this is probably the most robust and user friendly way (in my opinion.) This patch has multiple subpatches - one for giving you unique device id's, which you can then use to control the actual audio channel receiver patches. You will need to use structure index patches to sort your channels, and then you may wish to use smooth patches, or javascript to write yourself a compression/peak limiting process.
