@pete5668 I don't use Audacity - but everything else i have used has an "input select" that you will have to toggle to the Motu. By default they usually are set to the built-in - should be able to hit the help button and search on "select input" to find the setting.

I have a Macbook Pro and a MOTU Ultralite. I tried to record to Audacity software with an external microphone plugged into the front XLR jack and a FireWire cable connected from the MOTU Ultralite to the Macbook Pro. The MOTU recognized that there was sound coming from the microphone, but the software did not. The software just recorded using the computer's built in microphone. What did I do wrong? How do I get the signal from the Ultralite to the MacBook Pro?

don't need a power supply when you plug firewire!

I see there you have the ac cord plugged in AND the firewire cable connected. When firewire is connected that alone can power the unit. And so when you have the ac connected you are overloading "something" internally. Frankly I find that a design flaw. You should be able to have them both connected without any issue. But with the firewire cable plugged in by itself the noise should go away as others have reported.

nope it was designed that way so that if you wanted to, you could control it remotely with midi. to say the ultralite mk3 sucks because of this alone is flawed.
I have one, to me the flaws are: it doesn't have a grounded power supply, shitty sound quality on pretty much all of the I/Os including the micpres, and it doesn't work well with windows.
However it's driver software is really good, if you have a mac. For the money its a good deal if you want a lot of I/O and good software.

Popping trim nobs are caused when the gain is raised or lowered from one discrete value to another, say +34dB to +35bB. What you hear is the inherent noise of the preamp snapping from one level to another. If you had an analog gain potentiometer you wouldn't hear this.
They designed it this way so you can control it from software, its lighter, and i believe its cheaper and easier to implement. They also assumed that you wouldn't change the preamp gain during recording or performance.
