Re: [microsound] firewire sound cards/ audio interfaces

[scissors for sparrow <seedling@xxxxxxxxxx>]

i have used the motu 828mkII for about 10 months... so far it has been 
excellent and very reliable.  however i have had occasional problems 
(mostly in the beginning) where it stopped recording without 
explanation, or would record awfully so that when i tried to play 
things back, they'd be at double speed.  i attribute this to the 
software included, though (audiodesk).  it's not great software at all. 
 definitely a poor wo/man's pro-tools or some such.  i would probably 
recommend getting this interface and maybe using logic or something, 
although that would work out to be quite costly.  the sound on the motu 
is excellent, front panel controls navigable, and the preamps (there 
are 2) are good.  10 analog inputs (including 2 mic preamps), 8 analog 
outs, s/pdif / adat i/o, midi... it's comprehensive and has enough 
features to record live instruments well.
