I'm in the market for an 8 channel set of converters with preamps to go into the ADAT on my digi 002. I'm wondering if any of you have have USED BOTH. I know many have used one of them and will tell me that it is the best thing in the world, but I would really prefer to hear from somebody who's played with both. I know I need to get the ADAT card for the octopre, so that's not a problem.

Which one? I have a 002R and I'm replacing my Mackie 1604 vlz pro with one of these units. I think i have to buy a add-on card for the octopre to get it to my 002 whick brings them to about the same price. Correct me if I'm wrong, please. For drums mostly. Or is that not really a good upgrade from the XDR pres on the mixer? Thanks for the input. :?

Hi
I am trying to make a decision on a preamp and I am thinking of buying an Focusrite Octopre. I am currently using a Behringer ub1622 board for my pres. How much and what kind of differnce will I notice by moving up to that octopre? Or if there is something better in that price range?
Thanks Jake :)

I've recently added the ADAT "Option 1" card to my OctoPre and changed the Hardware Setup dialog in PT to reflect ADAT as the master clock, instead of Internal.

Latency is getting to the point where it's audible.. like a chorus or flange
Tested with microphone and line ins.

I've read so many reviews lately I'm about ready to give up recording all together. I have settled on a MOTU 2408mk3 and the Focusrite OctoPre.

Yay or nay?

MOTU 2408mk3
Any experience with MOTU A/D's?
Same quality as the MOTU 828mk2?
Anything in the same price range comparable/better?

Focusrite OctoPre... opinions?

Hi, I'm looking for an eight channel preamp with ADAT lightpipe. These two seem to be just that. Anyone have any idea which one is better. The Digimax is about 300$ more.
Ricght now I have a Mackie and a dbx 386. Will it be a step up or should I look for something else?

I was planning on using an octopre to add 8 chanels to my 002 rig via the optic, and dedicate these mainly to recording drums. The pre has built in compression/limiting and 48v phantom on each chanel. Is this a viable solution and if so what array of mics should I be looking at to cover the job properly?
I will only have about $1500.00 to play with though.

Hi,

Just wanted to know if someone's tried this eight preamp combo. If yes... How do you like it and, most important, where did you find it? I just searched every online store I know and couldn't find it. I don't even know its price, just seems like the gear I must have for the portable setup I'm putting together (MOTU 828 + iBook).

Thanks for any help

Does anyone knows when it'll be avaliable? For how much? I imagine that it'll be better than a Digimax right?
