MOTU UltraLite
Penombre Penombre
Published on 08/06/07 at 11:47
That led to my choice CHARACTERISTICS:
1 - The mobile characters of the card, because I like having a station computer music potentially follow me in my dplacements.
2 - reputable MOTU
3 - His appearance particulirement solid. You can stand on it, it will not budge one iota.
4 - It ensures compatibility with Digital Performer
5 - May it be self-powered through the firewire port (the concept of mobility still.)

For what purpose:
Audio recording only. (For MIDI I prfre pluge directly to a USB keyboard on the laptop)
I limit myself only use it for Labor models at home. But the sound is really excellent quality.
Besides, I pushed the vice dernirement up use it to record a pro. Jtais limpossibilit me dplacer in the studio, and lon mavait command a guitar part on a movie soundtrack. (Sacr challenge for such a small thing! From 5.1 to cinma you imagine?).
She held the distance.
Well hun, just to track c&#39;tait guitar 33 sec, and who did not specially designed be put forward in the mix.
Therefore conclude that for 590 investment, what you record an album of pure utopia would be pro quality. But I think this story can help some den dduire the quality of the BTE.
Taking into account the range and this what she prtend I give almost full marks. (My top quality for small cards of this ilk from the same when the RME Fireface 400. Would that the sound level of his pramplis But hey, 350 takes over. L it&#39;s really murder. The report quality price Ultralite remains more INTERESTED in my opinion.)

My configuration is modest, but even when running with the fire of God:
Macbook (Intel Core Duo 2 GHz), 2GB RAM, DD 5400 trs / min.

UTILIZATION

- Installation is it without problem?
No problem

- Have you experienced any incompatibility?
No, but at the same time, I had just chosen for a. And I no longer amuses me tweak the PC.

- The configuration gnrale is easy?
If the child goes through the computer.
However, if you want to fiddle with custom settings directly on the Ultralite, I am much more reserved. Cest when not even the top.
And yet I do not have big fingers, jai 10 each and there jvite to work loose.
Let&#39;s say that in certain circumstances, this GUI can physically save the day. But, in my humble and subjective opinion (store the forks), anest Figure quune more gadget that seems least one CRITERIA srieux purchase a small gift to counter Bonux MOTU every eventuality. Or should the rel mexpliquer potential of thing and I dont know clearly not conceptualize.

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
If you speak good English and you do not beginners computer music: Yes everything.
Besides, If you are not beginners, it is unlikely that you need it as long as your use of the card does not leave the beaten track. It has an intuitive operation trs. I nai sheet the doc at the time of installation, and then for a problem that does not fawn all concerned.
The 48V switch, the pad such as volume knobs or gnral phone, good as it ben-Port Hi, this is written on it. And for the rest, there is the CueMix and Motu audio setup on your computer that interface all in simplicity.

But if you beginners, the manual could you light mchamment stepfather. Many spa techniques are not explicit. We will most directly without going through the box dico, and prsume your knowledge in the Contents of FDI that, since it is a relatively sophisticated map e, it is not your Premire.
At the same time, I guess anyone can get by as long as he shall decide to devote time to learning ncessaire on forums and other sites DDIS.
If, however, I can understand as we begin prfrerait soft and especially not to take the cabbage, I would advise plutt of disorientation on a Fast Track M-Audio, or Tone Port of Line 6. L sr is, you will not galrer.

Note that if you do not speak English or that, even if you know your Shakespeare, after 8 h of intensive mix in the lemon you just some preferences for the mother language, note it is available in French dsormais in pdf format. You must pass a call from UM distribution (business hours in gnral they rpondent), so they send you a CD. (It is a shame in passing that their site does not have a support section or downlaod for this kind of thing. Ok, so what UM. Dint we would end up being almost a right ... almost.)

GETTING STARTED

- The drivers are stable?
Never needed to do an update since my purchase. Golden RULES: As long as it works, you touch anything.

- Are they often put day?
It would seem. But again, at UM is a bit bordlique distribution. It is "the will as j&#39;te grows" in brothel on the home page in a drop down box type "news" right.

- What software do you use most often?
Digital Performer 5.1.

- What you get lag?
No audible latency. APRS tell you what was given in milliseconds, to confess that I never had to look at the curiosities. As long as I do perois absolutely not the thing, I knocked a bit.

- How many tracks you get record / playback simultanment? ...
When recording, I much underemployment trs. I use both the worst combos simultaneously so good ...
I have not read pieces Exceeds 20-25 tracks, so beyond, I can not say. But 20, with a buffer 1024 has also turns itself that 2.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
8 months

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The best: the sound-size
The least: the distributor franais. The people who work at UM are nice, but management level is just too limited.

- How do you report qualitprix?
All fine.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice?
Yes, hsiter. (However a does not have to squint m&#39;empche the RME 400, but the price is really dcourageant).
