how do you use the RME with the MR816’s?
Through the adat I/O’s of the RME, the mr816 can function as a standalone ADAT mic-pre unit.
Hmm this issue plus the lack of preamp bypass puts me of buying this soundcard.
Any idea when an update or second revision of this flawed product comes out? maybe the will fix this in the next generation?
Come on Steiny… Say something!
This really is getting beyond a joke …
Just got this from EdDoll,
So it is with the engineering team in Japan!
Why has it taken this long to get it there seriously!!!

Congratulations, thats more than I got, which was deafening silence. I had a tech on the phone about 1 year ago who told me they knew about it and he thought it would be fixed “soon.” Nothing since.
Guys … maybe make some noise over here too …
if they’re updating for Lion … maybe they can look at this at the same time.
I have received an official warning from Steinberg because I won’t drop this issue. I’ve been warned I’ll be banned from the forum.
Can you believe that?!?!!?
What do you mean?
BUMP
I know this topic has been discussed numerous times in the past but as a suggestion/solution to the MR816 monitoring / routing problem, would it not be possible to ask Yamaha to bring the mLAN concept back into development?
I am sure not only would you end up with happy MR users giving them full network routing functionality, but you would also end up pleasing the old 01x, i88x and mlan card users as well who cried out for 64bit OS drivers.
I know that this is theoretically possible as a soloution as the Yamaha n12 mixer originally had mlan drivers and then had to be flashed across to the new Y/S driver concept.
Surely therefore you could flash the devices back to mlan - and MRs too - we just need a new mlan driver?
That is a wicked idea mate… Great suggestion!
I also fell into the trap … inverted blindly into two units by misleading advertising. and an incomplete manual made no mention of this problem that directly affects users working steinberg recording rock bands and similar styles. where it is needed more than 8 tracks Motorised Analogue and monitored. Steinberg shows that I hope is a great company.

yo tambien cai en la trampa… inverti ciegamente en dos unidades gracias a la publicidad engañosa. y a un manual incompleto que no mencionaba sobre este problema que afecta directamente a usuarios de steinberg que trabajan grabando bandas de rock y estilos similares. en donde es necesario mas de 8 tracks analgicos motorisados y monitoreados. Espero que Steinberg demuestre que es una gran compania.

I invested a lot of money in five MR816s when they were first released and am getting increasingly worried that they are not going to be supported for much longer.
There are a lot of issues being reported on this forum that need to be addressed.
Could someone from Steinberg please give us an update on the situation?
I currently have a Fireface 800 as my main interface with a MOTU 8PRE and an MR816X connected via ADAT and was considering selling the MOTU, buy an extra MR816x and then using the two daisychained MR816x as main interfaces with the FF800 connected via ADAT, but since I read this thread, I think up to now that would not be such a good idea.
Direct monitoring is not an issue with my current setup, but I would like to be able to use the advanced functionality of the MR816x.
I guess I’ll just have to wait and see if this will be remedied.
Any Word from Japan yet steiny?
We obviously really need this feature asap please!
Even the guys in Steinberg Aus Tech support have told me that the first day they tried two unit years ago they informed you of this major fault in the design of the product!
Should we all get a full refund of the products and be able to go somewhere else to a product that gives us what we need?
What do you think steiny?
Greg
Forget it - nothing else will happen - they have announced the UR824.
There goes the investment in my five MR816’s !
