Annabelle,
Aside from all the components of your studio (including a copy machine) the
real question is: Can you just use another pair of channels (like 3&4 or 5&6)
to get a stereo recording capture?
If not, then replace the MOTU.

Subject: [ddots-l] Channel Failed On MOTU Audio Interface
Hi, it's Annabelle.
I have a question for you, and I was wondering if you might have the answer
for me. I have purchased a MOTU 896HD between 2003 and 2004, and it seems I
have run into this strange situation. I just now discovered that channel 1 went
out on my MOTU. When the gain is turned all the way up, all I can hear is a
buzz or a hum. The interesting part is, when the gain is turned all the way
down on Channel 1, I get this sound of crackling static, like the kind you
sometimes hear on a TV set. What's up with that? Funny thing is, the rest of
the channels 2-8 work just fine. I've tried everything I can, but I'm wondering
how this happened. Is it because I've had this interface for a few years now?
When I talked to Dan at Guitar Center last night, he said that it's a
possibility that one of the channel components failed simply because it's old.
What do I do? Is there a better interface than this one? Is there an easy
solution to this problem? I want to be able to record with a stereo pair of
mics. Here are the current configurations of my home studio.
