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!

Hello

I just ordered a MOTU 896HD and it should be here on Thursday. I had a PreSonus Firepod, but returned it as it did not work as well for live sound. The XLR outputs and the assignable channels is why I ordered the Motu. I was wondering what other's experiences were with this device in either a recording setting or live. Thanks!

hey!
i've narrowed most of the stuff i want!
had basically decided on the MOTU 828 mkII but now i see the 896HD as dropped it's price to around 996$!
just a bit more than the 828 mkII... so... do you think it's worth it?
maintiger? do you?
one thing i don't understand is this...

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 !

I currently have 3 MOTU 2408... one is the original version.. the first one that came out... the others are mkII. i was thinking of upgrading to the HD192. would there be any benefit to purchasing this upgrade if i was still going to continue recording @ 48000 and 24bit... does this unit sound better? thanks.

I just bought a MOTU 828 for my home studio... Does anyone have any hints about what to use between the microphones and the MOTU, as far as i know i need something to amp the mikes since the analog inputs on the MOTU don't have any built-in preamps! I need to record at least 6 channels at one time!

Who likes the motu?

In the near future I will be upgrading some of my daw hardware to add more inputs and a dedicated control surface so, I can stop mixing with a mouse and move up to some better and more reliable gear. I think that I have narrowed this down to, 2 possible solutions and would like to get a second opinion from you guys.

Can anybody give me their opinion of the MOTU 242i digital recording system. I am currently looking at purchasing one via ebay and would like to get the low down from anybody who has actually used one.
