I’m trying to connect the UR22 mkII on Sequoia, but the error message is that it is not detected. I’ve installed the current Yamaha driver and connected to three different ports, but nothing. My computer is only a few months old.
I run an older Motu Ultralight mk3 USB soundcard. For this to work in Sequoia, I had to start in safe-mode, then lower the security level and allow the extension. Then everything worked fine.
Thanks, but I’m not sure I want to lower my security level just to get an interface to work. I’ll try and get a hold of tech support.
In my case, the Motu M4 class-compliant soundcard I used, had a 5m USB cable on it. I repositioned all my computer stuff close to my monitoring system, and sensibly bought a high-quality 1.5m USB cable for it. But with my recent upgrade of interconnects, a new 1m NVA TIS audio cable would be a further £400.
Since I generally go straight from Mac Mini to a Bryston BDA-2 DAC, using a £300 1.5m USB cable, the audio output of the Motu M4 would be not as good, with it’s Sabre chips.
The Ultralight mk3 has Spdif out, so it made sense to go into the Bryston DAC using a £50 3m Spdif cable, with a £50 Supra USB cable to the Mac Mini. The sound is 98%, with only slight smearing of busy high-hat stuff - very usable under external recording conditions.
I go straight to DAC USB2 from the Mini M4 generally, but switch to the Ultralight when recording externals like Bass, Guitar, and Voice.
My monitoring system is so detailed that I do notice Sabre vs AKM chips readily, and there was no alternative to that £400 interconnect, except to find a Class-compliant soundcard with Spdif or AES/ABU. That would be £1500. Hence the Ultralight and lowered security.
Lowering the security to run the legacy driver I didn’t feel was an issue for me. My Mac’s Safari will only ever visit Apple, Waves, and Steinberg, purely for downloads, and all purchases are done on my iPad, which is not linked to my Mini M4.
