Howdy everybody -

I'm curious if there's anyone out there who's using the MOTU 8 pre and what your thoughts are.

I'm considering getting it, but before you go making comments or suggestions, let me explain *why* I'm getting it.

my drivers disc was messed up so i downloaded them from the website, and when i go under control panel to my sound and recording devices, it is recognized and says that it is working properly.

I have the MOTU 8pre interface [obviously] and an AKG Perception 200 Condenser [its phantom powered].

1. The MOTU works with all of my dynamic, non phantom powered mics.
2. The AKG works going straight through my mixer and through a monitor.

and now the problem:

3. I don't get any sound when recording with the AKG through the MOTU.

Ok i'm not new to recording but this is about to make me bust my MOTU into pieces.

Hello everone!

Hi everybody!

I'm new to Recording.org and i'd like your opinion on the audio interface dilemma. My new iMac is on the way and i'm thinking of buying one of these two interfaces. I record mostly acoustic instruments so the MOTU is a good choice but the built-in DSP effects that TC offers are really tempting. What would you do?

Cheers.
