    - I was looking for a sound card more "fine", more accurate than my previous models.
    Mission accomplished with the Ultralite. It's lace.
    - I use it in a home studio config 100% electronic and is connected to a PC running XP Home SP2 (Asus P4P800-E, 3GB PIV, 1GB RAM ...). It will no doubt be used in live, hence the interest of compactness and excellent build quality (it feels the tough stuff).

    UTILIZATION

    - Installation without a history (I did not use the original CD but went in direct MOTU download the latest drivers).
    - To date, no Incompatibility met; FLOW (even with my "old" Cubase SL v1), which is not the case of some models of newer cards.
    - The config is quiet, the Cue Mix is ​​simple and uneventful, but not essential when working in direct monitoring in Cubase.
    - Hand side is a bit heavy because only in English. Even when you master the language, it is painful to have to play translator (I would rather make music during this time ...). So, just one point less for that.

    GETTING STARTED

    - To date, no problem with the drivers (I do not know the frequency of updating in Motu)
    - I use with Cubase SL and Wavelab. Still, I did a little test with demos and Live Fruity, it works impeccable.
    - Side latency ... is low, very low. It's great fun.
    - For the moment, I did not test with thousands of audio tracks :-) but the beast should be collected, given the performance.

    OVERALL OPINION

    - It's been three weeks (only) as I explore
    - In the positive, I would say almost everything, it will be less for the manual in English.
    - I worked with an old Delta 66 (incidentally very nice) but the accuracy is better sound.
    - Value for money nickel. Can finally afford a Motu without eating potatoes for ten years is quite nice!
    - The choice I would do without hesitation ...

    <img src="img.audiofanzine.com/img/v35/icones/plus.gif" class="plusmoins" width="35" height="11"> Subject to the mic preamps, really large, the dynamics of the map in general, very powerful, comprehensive connectivity, console CueMix really excellent, the robustness of the case, the solid appearance of the rest elsewhere etc.. !
    <img src="img.audiofanzine.com/img/v35/icones/minus.gif" class="plusmoins" width="35" height="11"> we need small fingers to use the Trim buttons or volume, the front is complete but the space is still relatively small.

    - Have you tried many other models before buying it?

    Too much!
    - How would you rate the quality / price?

    Really excellent! One moment I thought the card was the ideal mobile Firebox firewire, but frankly this is not small Motu beats everyone hands down. It is inconceivable for the price! Motu Congratulations!
    - With experience, you do again this choice? ...

    I plan to acquire the same analog console and a second for a small studio inline 20-way! I think of when you see the high quality of the thing!

    I was looking for a USB or Firewire that would allow live with Vsti because the sound card in my Presario 2130EA had a latency of more than one second.
    Result:
    works well with a firewire cable 6 pin to 4. Simply feed the Motu Ultralite with its transformer provided. (Cable 6> 4 is not provided, a cable is 6-6 in the package).
    Play and record audio impeccable. Latency inaudible.

    UTILIZATION

    Inaudible latency

I heard the good of the Presonus FIREBOX but the number of entries seemed right.

    I also bought this card for the DSP which seems less CPU seek another card and it was an argument of weight for my old laptop.

    I use the MOTU as home-made studio for guitars, vocals, bass, synth, etc.. I have no preamp or console because I believe that the MOTU preamp is sufficient to themselves and the fact that it can act as a standalone mixer offered me to buy a console.

    My config is divided between a Dell P4 3GHz, 512 RAM and an old-Fujitsu laptop running at only 1.88 ghz and 256 RAM. When I asked if the MOTU fonctionneriat on it, the stores told me that yes, "which is the soft food, not the map" ... rather a good sign!

    UTILIZATION

    By installing the MOTU I had fond memories for long sessions at the con with the old stuff. They really rose to that level. I must say that my DIGI OO1 had six years and I did not have any other card in the meantime.

    I did not even used the CD that came and went the last chopper drivers on the MOTU site. Instalation without any worries, being careful to start with first install the drivers, click to accept a few here and there, restart, once registry cleaning, plug and presto it worked first time.

    I see guys on the forum galèreent with stories of IRQ conflicts in the bios where I do not know what ... damage, I had no trouble ... Perhaps the fact that my PC is not a gas plant and I customized runs on the Intel base. When buying, keep hanging on the compatibility between the card and PC components. We often pale with exotic configs hacked in every sense.

    Then, for the config, it&#39;s about setting the soft ... Just know it.

    These remarks are also valid on the laptop, no worries ... but I plan to use it only to the taking off solo ... logically not make a whole mixes old nanard like that and knees.

    In any case no cracking on 2, once the adjustments made.

    But ... at the beginning is not easy to navigate their stories mix console thing, and this especially as they damn manual is in English and I had beautiful send an email to the importer and to MOTU, I see nothing coming. In my opinion it is not yet translated. It is unacceptable these days to buy stuff for that price and not having a French manual. So, to date, I does not use all the possibilities of MOTU. But hey, we are in the world of computer music and the world of computer music is the démerder first.

    So I stick 5 because although it works perfect, hello to any dip because of the manual in English.

    GETTING STARTED

    No problems with the drivers, they seem very stable.
    I do not know if they are updated ... and then, as long as it works.
    I have run 2 to 3 milliseconds of latency input and output ... Finally! It&#39;s totally transparent.

    For the number of tracks, I have not done testing with a lot of runs.

    Finally, the most important and then I can compare that against my DIGI 001 which was already very good. The SOUND!

    It&#39;s pretty amazing how the MOTU is transparent. I rapprelle registry renewal of my debut digital 8-track Korg, it was clean but cold. Here, the sound is warm, clear, precise, detailed ... and especially no breath and that&#39;s excellent. I think the entries are all symmetrical. DIGI on, I used to spend my Jazz Bass with plugs for obtenr sound I wanted. And at a time I bypassed the plugs and found the direct sound of the bass through the preamp is simply excellent. Returning to the essence of sound with such a device.

    A surprising detail caught my old sheets and listening again badly encoded MP3. The DIGI, treble sounded logically wrong and there on the MOTU, it does not forgive. One senses immediately that we have a much higher definition, the defects do not pass. The rendering is very analytical and transcribed all the errors of mix and mastering. I have not yet done so to mix with the MOTU, but I know I will enjoy to remix projects for former chopper defects. In short, it&#39;s precision and sense immediately that we are not dealing with the beginner stuff.

    OVERALL OPINION

    One month

    Plus:
    - The high definition sound, transparent preamps
    The potential for mix-standalone (what joy to be able to connect without hearing all the fan of the PC!)
    - The seriousness in building
    - One arm, one rule and it works

    Minimum:
    - French manual not doing that ls routing options are not to enter évideentes

    MOTU&#39;s reputation is second to none. It is sometimes the scope of spending a little more for such quality and yet, I find that the price of this card is fully justified.

    Recently, the manufacturers realize that the cards more than 1000 euros is not available and may be too teams for working in home studio. Thus merger of smaller modules and more "effective" much cheaper.
    The choice of the ultralite has been plutt the meeting of this trend that I find more practical and less technical and Will Fidler to stay through the choice of the software used. The output of this card fell so good.
    But Reason derrire, 768 M of RAM and processor that runs 800 million, we forget.
    Too rich. We must remain prudent and use the applications separately. Samples of the sounds in Reason Performer running in sync via Rewire, Reason and the exit process if ncessaire, it works well. All dpend as the fawn you dial
    The sound of the instrument taken voice go through pre-amp in FOCUSRITE symtriques and other records of the Previous or spdif jack.
    If you have a computer system connected to a home cinma preamp, connect the 8 outputs with 6, 7 or 8 discrete channels for multichannel COST.
    To connect a guitar, an XLR jack is high impdance front. Another is derrire.
    Personally, I use the XLR front for a classic talkback.

    UTILIZATION

    The installation was done properly.
    Called out the inputs and outputs of the card and the names appear in the audio software. Peinard.
    The manual IS in English. So it is perfect to Improve your english language.
    Read aloud for pronunciation, "Is in zzzzzzze zzzzzzzzzzze sound box"
    Srieusement a translation for Christmas, with gift wrap, has rassurrait well.

    GETTING STARTED

    Drivers ok
    Utiliss Software: Digital Performer and Reason
    Latency: I must verifies
    I record a track for both the moment.

    OVERALL OPINION

    3 months of use alone.
    It is small and "box" though.
    The sound is good enough for a little prod. This issue is so relative that I can not venture further. If you are a purist, low acute transient harmonics blablabla has to pay. Cher.
    If you like the catch of his nomadic, with a handy map, when the same sound quality, right price and not too limited, it is probably the card for you.
    Also, if you have thin fingers to turn the pots in faade, fine. Too small for any obviousness.
    If you turn on MAC intel is compatible.
    Otherwise, rflchissez what you want to do before you buy, that's all.

    Use in home studio with frquents travel.

    UTILIZATION

    Installation without any problem.
    No incompatibility. (Emphasis added because "read the forum might scare some).
    Gnrale configuration very easy, and even to beginners too.
    Manual lightweight, medium, several times the same stuff, not easy to find an info.

    GETTING STARTED

    Drivers stable.
    Last day? I wait.
    Latency is more than enough even live, and I can record / play as many tracks as I need it.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for three months.
    I love the sound, the fact that it is very small, lgre, but at the same time she looks super strong. The number of I / O enables routing of madness and the two pramp Intgr are good.
    The CueMix and so easy that beginners is not clear trs. Used to it quickly.
    Too bad there's not one or two effects in the CueMix.
    I do m'tais may be too little information but that the Ultralite is powered by the laptop, it is essential that it has a 6 pin firewire (I'm a bit of ).
    Too bad they also provide the standard with a manual (!) Software (Audiodeck) which is only available for Mac.
    Before I had an EMU 1212M internally so I can not judge on The models of the same type.
    I bought in the U.S. so the report qualitprix worth it.
    Yes I would do this choice because I am happy trs.

    yes it is very clear as well on OSX than on XP
    DSP console is very comprehensive

    - The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

    Clearly, yes and no, in English, but actually I just flew

    GETTING STARTED

    No, I inquired about any kind of forum, I hesitated with the TC Konnekt 24D, but after having had two in hand, I chose the Motu, which seemed more reliable ... and the ADAT not useful for me, for now, so I preferred the multiple input output jacks

    - How would you rate the quality / price?

    excellent. it is a budget, but given the functionality and reliability of the product is really good

    - With experience, you do again this choice? ...

    I did not yet fully exploited, but I feared that incompatibility with Windows, ultimately it turns perfectly.
    can be, with a bigger budget, I chose an EMR but good for 500euros, there really is no hesitation.

    GETTING STARTED

    - Stability OK
    - Latency 5 ms to 48khz (it should do under 3ms 96khz)
    - Console (CueMix) is correct and aesthetic
    - It sounds!

    Preamps: Comparison with a Universal Audio LA-610.
    Micro used: C414 XLII
    Listens: Dynaudio BM5-A
    Headphones: Beyer DT770 Pro

    After some testing voice + nylon guitar, I can tell you that the MOTU rivals him in terms of dynamics, presence, accuracy. There are many highs without there being aggressive!
    Of course, the LA-610 is an all-tube, so it has its grain to it, but what struck me is that the MOTU does not sound cold next to him! The heat is present, and the sound is musical!
    I was very impressed with these preamps!

    Cons:
    * The buttons are very small, turn the volume turn by turn!
    * The period of 4 seconds to turn it off is a bit boring, but I quibble!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I did that for three days, so this is a hot first impression, but it is excellent!
    The ratio Q / P seems to me excellent, especially because the number of I / O and especially the quality of the preamp!

M and M as Motu Mac as PC users are left out grrrr .. and for Tanpis "AudioDesk" the software supplied with the Ultralite

    GETTING STARTED

    There is the brand experience for drivers is super stable.
    For the latency varies between I 96 and 512 samples as appropriate.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 3 months soon and I think the sound is clean, neutral, non-aggressive Péchu. I appreciate the mini side table mix, the gain setting can be saved each entry, this allows among others to leave their equipment connected to his ideas quickly enrregistrer thus avoiding an opportunity to connect to reconnect his cables.Les buttons facade are also ultralite mini but then ...
    This is a good value for money, I had problems with the Konnekt 24D (and other cuts of his ...) I could test, compare with the Konnekt Motu together for one week of the two brands qualitée Each one is as good with its extras (effects, adat for Konnekt / more analog inputs, more possibilities for mixing Motu) But on my system well over the Ultralite in terms of the Konnekt stabilitée then j ' have kept and no regrets the Motu.

    - The 2 XLR preamp
    - Multiple input and output jack
    - The reputation of the brand

    - 1 GB of RAM

    I use no preamp or mixer. I plug my mic directly on the map.

    UTILIZATION

    Installation is no problem.
    No conflict.
    The general pattern is clear.

    The manual is in English, but frankly, it does not take a pro engineer to use this card and get excellent results.

    Or, basically, you just unpacking the box, you branches, t'instales, you record and it sounds live.

    GETTING STARTED

    The drivers are impeccable! There is an update on the site of Motu.

    I use Cubase SX, Reason, Live, Wavelab.

    Latencies are very low (I do not have numbers in front). By recording in 24 bit - 96 Khz it rolls so well that we forget what the word latency and recording four tracks at once.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for four months.

    What I like most is the sound quality. I have even just to get the roundness in the bass and treble clarity in (knowing that I use an SM-57, what I would get a Rode or Neuman!)

    Before I used an M-Audio Audiophile USB. Suffice to say right away that it has nothing to do (it's not the same budget either).
    The motu is far above in sound quality, latency, ...

    The Ultralite is a simple to use interface with a quality that I did not expect to have on my demos.
    View the reputation "pro" Motu, I was afraid of not knowing properly use the card. But everything is simple. The Cue Mix console pads mitigation ... it's a real treat.

    I would do this choice.
