I am using the MOTU Traveler as the audio interface for my live music 

input. I am having problems getting Max/MSP to accept the input. The 

driver is recognized in the DSP Status window, but I am not getting any 

results and cannot hear anything when I plug in the microphones. And 

yes, my speakers are turned up. Can someone please help me? I will be 

using this type of setup to mic a performance of a symphony and use the 

input as triggers for my visuals that will accompany the performace. I 

have tried using adc~ to receive the input, but maybe I'm doing 

something wrong. Please help me. I'm in a time crunch!! Thanks.

Presuming that a [cycle~440 -> *~ 0.1 -> dac~] is heard...

Do you see something while the Audio is On?

After that, virtual help is more abstract.

after the obvious
1- mic plugged?
2- concenser mic? if yes, please +48v
3- preamp gain?
4- change mic cable?
5- change microphone?

Open the Extra menu called Meterin
Do you see something while the Audio is On?

in Option -> DSP Status -> I/O Mappings
	is the mapping right?

A long shot - forgive the obvious - one should always remember that 

the Traveler is essentially an 8 in 8 out mixer with many hardware 

and software controls. So I would suggest you open the "FireWire 

CueMix Console" application and bring up the virtual faders for your 

inputs, set them to the correct bus output, check the input level 

pads, etc. Or you can also do this with the knobs on the front. In 

the past I have found that tweaking these parameters can help if I'm
