Maybe in English. Welcome. I bought a MOTU 2408 to DM24, but I'm not experienced.
Can you help me to connect with TDIF? How to connect everything and set the mixer. Regards

There is a FireWire Card for the tascam dem Series. Why dont you use that? So you only Need to connect the tascam via FireWire to your pc or Mac. There is no need for an extra Interface like the motu.

I have a FireWire card but it is broken and does not work. There is nowhere MK1 and you can not buy it, because it's just a work of DM24. for the MOTU 2408 I bought to replace the IF / FW DM

Ok. You can connect the tascam via TDIF to the motu. You'll need 3 of this cables to get all 24 channels from the tascam to the motu.

Do you have the pci card to connect the motu to your pc/Mac.? (424 or 324)

 

[wopal99]

I have a PCI 324th Are the cables from the computer LPT enough? eg

No, its not the same connector assigment.

But if you can handle a solder iron, you should be able to build them on your own.

Would be less expensive.

 

[wopal99]

So I start by building the cable, because the funniest are very expensive.

 

[wopal99]

If I did the cable one. Do you test enough? What's next?

 

[wopal99]

I connected the cable, but nothing works. For comparison, I plugged the cable signal mixer ADAT and goes. Checking once the cable is well made.

 

[wopal99]

Probably sell the MOTU 2408 and the money spent on repairing the card IF / FW DM.
Someone wants to buy a MOTU 2408?

 

[wopal99]

A friend gave me the wrong cable scheme. I found the correct

Now I have another question about the photo of my DM24
I can not switch to TDIF.
Do any of you know why?

The answer is: "New clock source is out of range".

It looks like your Motu has a clock-rate, which the DM24 doesn't support. You should switch the motu to 44.1 or 48kHz. Maybe the motu is not configured as a clock-master.

 

[wopal99]

I set already for all the possible ways and nothing.

 

[dryman]

Did you try a Wordclock-Cable? But be shure to terminate it correctly with 75Ohm.

 

[wopal99]

I have not tried. I do not have this cable
