He'll everybody just joined and have a MOTU issue.
Using Reaper,Win 7 homebuilt I7, 8 gigs ramm, MOTU 2408 with updated 424 card, using analog inputs for guitars and bass and PreSonus d8 for real drums. Everything was fine until...today.
This morning started guitar track had to go out, came back and had no sound at speaker point.

Hey everybody, I was just wondering if thw MOTU2408MKIII can play back at 24bit resolution or is it locked at 16bit.

Hi everyone, I have just replaced my PC with a new 3GHz P4 loaded up. I removed my 324 card and re installed it in the new PC. The system worked great in my old PC. In the new one however, when I record anything via the analog ins, the playback quality is very distorted. Almost like you're running your master through a marshall gained full up!

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!

Hi Guys,

What do you think of the MOTU 2408 MKII converters ?
I want to use them to A/D convert from Fostex G16 1/2" tape to my PC.

Thanks !

Any one have an opinion to share about either one of these? had the 2408 mkII at one time, got tired of the noisest box in my studio being in one space on my rack. I have a Tascam DM-24 i'm using as a front end for pre's. Have been using the Hammerfall 96/52 to my liking, but would like something with more in's and out options without having to use ADAT option cards for the Tascam. anyone?

I'm using Sonar 3.1.1 with a MOTU 2408 mkII and I get an ear-wrenching, saw-like feedback as it counts in to record. The longer I set count-in, the worse it gets. Once recording begins it stops and I everything is fine.

Over in another thread Doublehelix advised:
First off, if you are going with a PC, stay away from MOTU...they specialize in Macs, and have a pretty shoody reputation with PC drivers...

Are there rampant known horror stories about trying to use the MOTU 2408 MkII in a Windows PC?

I'm helping my brother upgrade his DAW PC. He's got a 2408MKII, looking to get a high-end processor, possibly dual processor for DV use as well. His main application is Vegas Video. (Vegas 3 added dual processor support.)

Hi, I'm considering MOTU for a DAW setup and from the MOTU site it appears the S/N on the 1224 is quite better @116db than the 2408 mkII of @106db. Both are 24 bit with same sampel rates. (I think I have the specs right above)

Bottom line - can you hear the difference?

Thanks for any comments. Shane
