Tip for anyone using MOTU 424 card with FireWire cables

Hi there,

If you are using standard FireWire cables for your MOTU 424 card, I came across a suggestion that has improved stability.

"Regular" FireWire cables do work, but their tips that you insert into the 424 card itself have more plastic /less of a contact than do the original "Audiowire" cables that come with the card.

So if you are using FireWire cables, trim about 4-5 millimeters off the plastic so it can insert further into the 424 card. It helps with audio system interruptions and makes life smoother.

Kind regards,

John
 
Great tip (no pun intended)! I used to get so frustrated with my 424 card and cables and always assumed it was being “finicky” and eventually replaced it.
