MOTU UltraLite

- 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 ...
