I asked this a few weeks ago with no answer:

Do you use multiple MOTU 896HD
if so - How many can you practically daisy chain?
Does anyone run a platform with 3 or 4 via a single firewire input on their computer? (i`m looking to run 24-32 track system)

Hi all,

I'm new here. My name is Andrew and I've taken it upon myself to do the recording for my band. Currently, I'm using a DIGI002R on a PC desktop and trying to get it to work on my laptop(no such luck yet). I also have a Great River NV2 and a PreSonus Digimax LT.

Has anyone done this? I have connected the optical in and outs from the MOTU to the digi but when I select the ADAT 1 input in pro tools it does not have any signal?

Anyone use them? I'm looking into getting one as a portable interface, and was wondering if the pre's are even halfway decent.

I know they're not going to be API's or Great River's, but are they useable? Mostly I'll be using them to track rock drums on location, at least until I can get some more money scrounged together for some other pre's.

Hey there, the one thing holding me back from grabbing an 896HD is the lack of midi.

do any of you guyz know if I could I double it with something like an M audio phile card I have in the PC already and use the midi on that, while leaving the MOTU for all other duties?

I'm juts a bit worried about driver conflicts in Cubase SX

The subject says it all, besides the sample rates, is there any other major difference between the two? Also, is it worth having the 8 mic preamps with the 896 or to just go with the 828?

Thanks!

Just discovered these forums and I've already learned a thing or two!

Can anyone with experience with these units give a non bias opinion of how they match up. Which one is better and why you have your opinion etc...Thanks guys

hi,

i'm quite impressed by the MOTU 896 specs but... the fact that it doens't work with Pro Tools makes me doubt.

now.. what I would like to know... how does the conversion to Pro Tools work? MOTU site says it works, even with all fades and crosses and whatsover.

anyone with experience with that?

if it works... i think i'll go motu
