Hello Gentlemen (and Ladies). I just switched over to Logic X from Reaper. I cant for the life of me get the I/O hardware plugin to work. I have a MOTU 828es. Im using a patch bay. No cords are pulled out. Analogue ins and outs are working fine in reaper. Im trying to use the I/O plugin on my kick track through a DBX 160a. I have "pinged" every in and out. Nothing. Im not getting anything through the compressor. I tried it on my bass track too.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
This will be a deal breaker if I cant get this working.

There is nothing special with the I/O plugin and there are no secret settings. Simple routing.
If you have selected the Motu as your audio device and Logic plays well, the I/O plugin should also work.

Maybe your hardware is not connected to output 3 and/or input 3?
You can test without the plugin: Just set the output of the channelstrip to the output you think the compressor is connected and play some music. If the compressor does not react, then you don't have a connection via this out port.

make sure you are sending and receiving through “Analog 3”.
Naming is confusing on my 828.

Right. Logic assumes the main outs are physical outs 1-2, but that's not the case with a lot of MOTU interfaces. If you look at the I/O labels in the Mix menu you are likely to see how the interface orders and labels the channels rather than the way Logic does it

Hi, did the originator (creamtionritual) of this thread find a solution?
I am having the same problem. The I/O simply stopped working. I was previously able to run an audio track through an external compressor but now I can't. I opened a new project and imported the audio track in case there was something in the project that was causing a problem but the I/O simply won't work. I set the Focusrite back to default and did the same with LPX. The Focusrite works along with the compressor if I record to a new track.

I found a solution to the problem. I went to the Focusrite online chat help. The tech helped me set up a send to the external compressor without the I/O plugin. I set the output of the track in the DAW to channel 3 and then in the Focusrite Control software I set the Software Playback to 3 as well. This worked. To record the processed signal to a new track I put the new track to input 5 and on the back of the Clarett the compressor is plugged into Input 5.
