Hey,
I have a apple powerbook g4 running bias deck 3.5... i want to multitrack interface, like 4-6 tracks at once. I'm very new to firewire interfaces. Is there one that can record 4-6 or more tracks at once for between $300-500? Thannks- caleb

Hey!
When i try to use the MOTU 828 mk2 on my powerbook i get the following problems :

With Logic 7 Pro, there is no sound at all, and the CoreAudio is configured for the 828 mk2, everything seems to be right, the sound just won't come out :P

If just doing digiatl in and digital out.

How does this thing affect the signal?
How much degradation? If any?

Anybody know first hand?

Thanks,

Woods

to buy a better pc soundcard?

hello, I would like to ask everyone here about those three companies' sound cards/audio interfaces. Please give me your opinions on these three. 1. Quality of their converter 2. Their compatibilities with other softwares 3. Quality of their Mic preamps 4. Which one would you chose and why? I am looking to buy one of these. I am on Mac G4/Logic Pro.

Thanx Y

I just got a g5 and so I need to upgrade my 2408 mkII system with a 424 pci card. My question is for about a little more than the cards price I could get the first generation 828 firewire interface and be able to sell my 2408, so would that be a good idea? Is the quality of the 2408 mkII better than the 828 mkI? I do like the idea of using the 828 with my laptop. Thanks for all help!

I just bought a MOTU 828 for my home studio... Does anyone have any hints about what to use between the microphones and the MOTU, as far as i know i need something to amp the mikes since the analog inputs on the MOTU don't have any built-in preamps! I need to record at least 6 channels at one time!

In the near future I will be upgrading some of my daw hardware to add more inputs and a dedicated control surface so, I can stop mixing with a mouse and move up to some better and more reliable gear. I think that I have narrowed this down to, 2 possible solutions and would like to get a second opinion from you guys.

Has anyone heard of or had any experience with the RME Fireface 800? Last year, just as I was narrowing the gear list down of what to finally buy, I decided I'd wait a while and see what other systems/solutions developed. I've hardly been online in the past year to keep up with the latest innovations. I did feel somewhat trapped with PTLE and needing to continue down that road.

ok so i had pretty much decided to go with a MOTU 828mkII with an m-audio octane for connecting 8 drum mics! for live i'd use my Behringer 2004's 4 of 8 preamps ! it has a main output and an alternative! i'd connect mics to 4 channels and pan them hard right and left! then i'd send from the outputs to the direct ins of the 828mkII.
