Of these two interfaces, can anyone explain what the specific advantages or disadvantages of one over the other is? What's the difference about having a PCI card interface rather than something that isn't PCI based like the 896? I need some pointers here in this area, if someone could try and fill me in. Thank you.

There is this guy offering a MOTU 2408. I think it is the first model that came out (should I say MK1?)

Need some advice on this card. Is there any problem I should have in mind other than its specifications?

The board is not for me but for a guy I know that is mounting his home studio.

We finally recieved the computer for the new studio, and smiled as we thought, "A couple more connections and we will be up and running." Suffice it to say, things just got way more complicated.

Setup and Questions:

just curious what would be better to buy?, i'm gonna be doing live audio recording with my apple g5 and I'm gonna need at least 24 channels to start, eventually going to 48 channels, also i'll need to sync audio to live video shoots. just curious if anyone could give me any insight on which unit is better for that app, i know the 2804 is a little cheaper, and seems to have more features.

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

I know this may sound silly to some of you but I just want to know this before I go out and buy it.

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?
