If you don’t have a fire wire port on your computer don’t even bother purchasing this. You will need to get a USB interface instead.

But you wont be able to tell there is a lag when using the Motu lite.
UTILIZATION
The Motu Ultra Lite is a complex little interface, it is very powerful for it to be such a small unit. There are plenty of ins to run all of your audio in signals into so you can do whatever you want to do with them , in my case I used it to get audio into my pc from external gear.
GETTING STARTED
The sound is very good, you will love the quality. But I think that the price of this unit brand new is a little too expensive. Even a used one can still cost 200 or more dollars today and it has been out for a while now.
OVERALL OPINION
There are several fire wire interfaces that are great, the Motu Ultra Lite is a great one as well, I just feel like it is an overpriced unit because its just too expensive. Maybe if it was this price and it was rack able then it would be different or if they offered a rack able version of this same device I would feel different about it.

UTILIZATION
If you understand the basics behind audio interfaces, nothing should seem complicated to you about the Motu Ultra Lite . Once you make your initial connections, there's not too much to be aware of on this, as it's pretty simple. Of course I do understand that those who are looking at something like this probably are just starting out. If you feel lost just looking/hearing about this, grab the manual for some help...
GETTING STARTED
The sound of the mic preamps on the Motu Ultra Lite aren't all that great, but are suitable for laying down demos at the least. Those looking at the UA-25 most likely aren't going to need the best sounding preamps, and if you are I'd suggest you stop reading this review and look elsewhere! You probably couldn't make a professional sounding recording, but if you just want something with a few mic inputs to use in your DAW, the UA-25 sounds just fine for that.
OVERALL OPINION
While there isn't too much that sets the Motu Ultra Lite apart, it's still a solid USB audio interface for very small home studios where you might have this and a microphone and your DAW basically.

- 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.

- For the moment, I did not test with thousands of audio tracksbut the beast should be collected, given the performance.

Qd a walk, the air ringing aa lot for that price. I worked on pro tools HD is on when it's not the same mm but for ptites config is sufficient. To see if the chaining works, can become a very interesting (16 analog inputs / outputs for 1200 euros, the average price dla Digi002). If you're a little handy and you will know a little computer / sound, for beginners I would recommend the Digi002 but this is only my opinion ...

UTILIZATION
- The installation is done it without problems?
Plug and play, can be used without installing drivers, but you still have to install (and reboot) if you want to use the Cue Mix Console.
- Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
No
- The general configuration is easy?
It is clear, simple, effective! A real treat!
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
Light, but also practical. At the same time it is a sound card is not very complicated.
GETTING STARTED
- The drivers are stable?
Yes!
- Are they often updated?
No idea.
- Are they often updated?
With a Mac and a Motu? Digital Performer of course! Machfive, Bias Peak and some VSTi instruments.
- What you get lag?
It must be played to a quarter of a micron of hair! In other words, zero latency, or when I play faster than my shadow!
- How many tracks you get to record / play time? ...
A record, as far as I input, ie 10. Without any sign of weakness or dropping from the card or computer (1GB RAM for the portable version, 2GB for desktop).
Read, for now my biggest project is 36 tracks and it runs itself without squealing.
OVERALL OPINION

- 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 want to thank Mr. Nours © for all his good advice that led me to buy this card! I just have to convince him to buy his own!See less00CZZ

Published on 09/11/06 at 07:19 (This content has been automatically translated from French)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.

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'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'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'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'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'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'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.See less00Pacone

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.See less00hrdv
