I looked for an interface for my laptop on AudioFanzine.
I must say that the choice is not simple, because apparently, it depends on the make, model, processor, chipset, USB, Firewire, short, horror!
At first I was looking for cheaper interfaces (Edirol, EMU, ...), but if we add preamps, filters because of the breath, a Firewire interface, we quickly the price of the MOTU!
My goal is to work with my group live especially.
My laptop is a ASUS A6K with indescribable as chipsets (if more, dial the porable that it turns, it is bad!) Finally, AMD Sempron 3000 +, 512 ram, USB2 hard drive (c is VERY important).
UTILIZATION
No problem to install, can be two reboots, but by that ...
Nothing inconsistent at the moment.
The config, well ... I have on my computer "fixed" a MOTU 2408mk2, so I feel "at home.
The manual, so I did not even look!
GETTING STARTED
The drivers appear to be stable. No problem noticed mutipiste.
For cons, the update, I failed to do (?)
I use Cubase SX3, Adobe Audition, a ton of virtual instruments, plug ...
Question latency, no probs, I use a number of tracks "sufficient" for a real band AVRC effects on the slopes. I went down to 128 and 64. The only problem may be with SX3, when given to eat three tracks of drums loops at a tempo of 140 to 120, then we must go back to 1024 to no longer have audio clicks (which is not acidic want!).
OVERALL OPINION
Well, it's less than a month that I have.
Sometimes, my PC tells me that there is no MOTU, but I think that's when I transferred at the same time large files via USB2. A check.
Well, it's not cheap, but as I said above, a less expensive interface preamps + + + filters etc ... It's a quick price, and you may be disappointed.
I would do this choice. We must think, if we can have a "free four times," it's worth it to go further.
