- What characteristics have motivated your choice?
Ula, I hesitated with other model like Presonus FirePod or Fireface 800.
I finally made the connection you Traveler for analogue and digital (XLR, Jack, AES / EBU, ADAT, S / PDIF)
and for CueMix and the ability to create four different mix and instantaneous!

- For what purpose?
I mainly use the motu to the recording studio. for now, because I'm going to use it as a mixing console (stand alone) now that I'm well established with! I also bcp mount CD / DAT ..

- What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
Powerbook G4 1.67 Ghz 2GB RAM 15-inch
100 GB HDD
it works with the fire of God (0 bug)
installs in minutes a recognized direct

- Which instruments and systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) you use it and how connections? ...

I expect a lil Presonus Eureka, an RME OctaMic D (ADAT), the advantage with this sound card is that you can put everything on it, since it has all the necessary connections.

UTILIZATION

- The installation is done it without problems?

auncun problem, 0 bug, that's all by itself, it does not even take 5 minutes ...

- Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
honestly no, it's plug and play! Installing and play!

- The general configuration is easy?
I have rarely seen more easily, by the way before you buy it I was nervous that it is difficult to understand its operation and bin ... It's actually very simple ...
you plug a microphone, then it adjusts the gain in your DAW you assign a track (I / O) and shoo record and the curve is beautiful!
to live is the same, you mix with the Cue mix 20 inputs to 4 outputs or a mix personalized output (eg a mix for the facade, mx2 for (the) returns, Sends for mx3, mx 4 else return, or else send or why not a record?)

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
In English but with a PDF version Fr.
personally yes it is clear enough mmm yes and no it depends bcp I started reading the book without touching the card (eg in the subway or the train or in the toilet lol)
and I ask questions, but when I go flying (always with the manual) everything was clear and the questions I asked myself have found their answers I just had to try and I was well aware

GETTING STARTED

- The drivers are stable?
well!! I had no problem!

- Are they often updated?
Well, I do not know ... I'm not going to walk because my config ...

- What software do you use most often?
Audio desk (audio DP), but I intend to switch to Logic, which I think has the best plugs

- What you get lag?

completely inaudible thanks to the direct monitoring!

- How many tracks you get to record / playback simultaneously?
I am reading to 28 tracks with insert effects (about 3 / 4 per track) ca 44.1khz want the road, and it will still 48khz but without the PB's hard. not try in 96 ..

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
few months (acquired in March I think) I am more than happy achter Specials 800 euros!

- What is so special that you like most and least?
most: portability ... I think very slight I slipped into my bag of protable, the two fall gently and shoo! yardstick ze raude euguène!
there is also a separate phantom power supply 4 (1 per mic) ca roxx!

the least: go a lil something: the buttons are very close for it to be compact and should be minuscieux when handling. (It's really something to say - because frankly it does not bother me!)

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
yes Multiface II with a friend, even operating principle but in RME, MOTU I prefer: bcp clearer!

- How would you rate the quality / price?

a 800 euros I say bravo! quality preamps and convert. is very good! Gain level is elevated largment! It sounds very well MOTU!
