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.

I am having problem with the following config:

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?

Have been looking at the MOTU 2408 mk3 for awhile now, just doing my research. Anyone use athis setup?

Hello, does anyone have an opinion as to the difference in sound quality with the original 2408, 2408MKII or MKIII models? I own the original and want to add another for 16 channels. The originals are going for aprox $150 while the newer models are $300 and $800. Is it worth the extra cost or should I maybe even look into different converters all together.

A guy I know is selling one for $150. This is the original one, and *not* the markII or markIII.

Is it totally outdated? Will the A/D conversion be better than that of my Roland VS 880 -EX? That would be its primary use--going into my Mac.

Anyone, please feel free to chime in.

Thanks-

I'm thinking about a new sound card(i own a MOTU 2408 mk2). Now, i don't really know which one I should to buy between the MOTU 2408 mk3 or the new MOTU HD 192( why high definition, wath that mean?).. Someone told me, even if i work with 96hz with the HD192 the sound it's gonna be much better because the HD have better converters.

I have Sonar 1.3.1 and a MOTU 2408 connected to a Sony DAT through SPDIF. The playback of the recorded audio is speeded up about twice as fast as the original tempo. Has anyone encountered this?

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?

Weird issue.
When I open Cubase VST in Windows 2000, I get these odd, piercing, high repetition digital clip sounds (about 150-200ms apart?) upon opening the application. It's like, the w2k drivers must go through some sort of buffer initialization or something odd like that when they are loaded?
I've tried it with various buffer settings.
