This is the dilemma I am in at the moment. What annoys me a little is the fact that I can not find detailed specs on the MOTU website therefore I can't really do an A/B comparison on paper.

What do you think?

I have made my decision on a board and now I am thinking of rather than recording straight to a DAW using my current MOTU 828 that I would get an Alesis HD24.

I'm wondering if there is a considerable difference in the A/Ds on the MOTU 828mkll and M-Audio Firewire 410. We have a 410 already. We will be recording 24/96 for this project. We don't have to worry about the pres on either device. We have a nice one already. Thanks in advance.

Gday Guys, I'm from Australia, and work in a studio using a TDM Pro Tools setup, but I want to build a studio for home/on location work, and i was wondering, i have a pc and mixer, plus Nuendo, but what would be the better setup; hardware/software wise? Digi002 with LE software, or MOTU 828mk2 with Nuendo, or an Events Layla with Nuendo?

Anybody know of any conflicts with using Pro Tools 6.2.2 LE software with the MOTU 828mkII interface?

Thanks.

Has anyone used The MOTU 828MkII? I'm wondering about its monitoring capabilities. I've got the original 828 and I can only monitor 2 channels at a time; I have to pick a pair. That's without latency (their 'CueMix' thing). If I turn software monitoring on in Logic, I believe I can monitor any and all inputs coming in, but then there's that dreaded latency.

Hi there,
I'm recording with a 550 G4 Powerbook, external FW-HD and two (sometimes even three) MOTU 828 on a FW Hub. I'm recording 16 to 24 Tracks of a Live-Concert.
I'm doing this for almost 2 Years and figured out some Problems which are mainly caused in a slow HD (must be 7200rpm) or FireWire wiring.
But lately I had some Problems I'm asking for help.

Has anyone tried The 828mkII from MOTU? I'm wondering about the monitoring capabilities with it. I've got the original 828 and I can only monitor 2 channels at a time without latency; in other words, I have to pick a pair for 'CueMix' monitoring). If I turn software monitoring on in Logic, I believe I can monitor any and all inputs coming in, but then there's that dreaded latency.

Howdy,

Just saw a post about the new Rev 828 on the Unicornation site. Looks pretty damned cool if you ask me.
I guess there's an ad for it on the back of the new Electronic Musician. Someone posted this link too: http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--MTU828MKII.

I am in the process of changing my studio over from simply analog to computerbased digital recording; using the powerbook G4. I am a newbie at this; I've decided to go with MOTU 828 Firewire recording system in combination with Propellerhead Reason 2.0. Just want to push a couple of mics and a guitar at this point. Any & all advise on this choice would be greatly appreciated.
