Anyone listen to the 828 yet?
From the website it looks pretty cool. Seems like motu's version of the 001, but they skipped the rectal-cranium insert feature.

(Ya can't count NAMM) I'm curios about the quality of the mic pre's since this is new territory for MOTU. I'm not sure but I think the analog I/O sports the same specs as a 1224 (pretty damn good). I think we can expect shipping the 2nd quarter along with dp 3.0. Have you guys seen this over haul?? I've heard it's a ground up rewrite. Dual support and a leg up on others regarding OSx. No price available yet but I expect around $150
YES

i worry a little when software is written from the ground up. sometimes the new code doesnt take into consideration of our habitual logic built into generations. ive had it happen to me with other software apps and threw me for loops.
from what ive seen the new DP3 looks cool and lots of useful features.
the 828 i could give a rats ass about.
Yeah.. I hear ya Were going thru this with Mackie and 3.0 right
Yeah.. I hear ya
Were going thru this with Mackie and 3.0 right now (not a total rewrite but pretty close) surprisingly there's only a few issues.... PITA for some meaningless for others.
In MOTU's case i think it was mandatory in order to be ready for OSX and implement user requests. I'm sure they'll be some users "pet features" missing. Hopefully improvements made will make up the differance
I guess we'll have to grin/worry and bear it
On an encouaging note.. Motu did respond to 70 something bugs within 2 months after the release of 2.7
Not Bad

I've had one for a couple of weeks. It sounds great. I have a Delta 66 in the G3 and it sounds as good as that. Maybe a little warmer. Build quality is not incredible and the output knob has some nasty digital artifacts when you are turning it from o to about 9 o'clock. Once you set it, it's fine though. No latency only works on a mono or stereo channel. Still, great at the price.

Okay- I am about to take the dive and buy a MOTU 828. I'm using an iMic (heard of this one - check it out www.griffentechnology.com) w/ Pro Tools Free, can NOT deal w/ latency. Very annoying. Actually, haven't really used this rig much. Just hooked it up. Thought I'd give a go before dishing out $700 for the 828.
So, if anyone out ther reading this is thinking: "Oh my good God in heaven! Someone stop this man from buying such a worthless piece of junk lemon!" please speak up now. The 828 looks good on paper, but it sure is nice to get feedback from actual users.

From what I know it ain't out yet. However I was just wondering if MOTU was perhaps doing a similar thing as Digi. I guess we all have to figure ways to make more $ even if it means creating a lesser product for a more, shall we say "broad" market. The Digi 001 comes to mind.
OK, it just might be a good tool, and, it is some new technology that some people have been waiting for. But, how does it stack up to some of MOTU's other stuff?
BTW it's great to see a DP forum here, I hope it goes really well. I for one have just switched to DP from some other software (I won't say which one cause things get stupid when people go to war on product comparisons) and I've got to say, what I have been hearing for years, about DP software being written to have great audio resolution, IMO, this is MORE than true.....
