Best value:
Excellent
What characteristics have motivated your choice?
I wanted to use it with Cubase.
For what purpose?
Recording in rere of live and demo and maybe more.
What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / RAM / Disk, ...)?
Late 2011 MacBook Pro 13 ", i5 2.3GHz, 4GB RAM, 120GB SSD HDD.
UTILIZATION
The drivers are stable?
yes yes no worries.
How often are updated?
Not if but apart Steinberg decides to improved routings console I do not see the benefit to update a driver that works.
What software do you use most often?
Cubase 6.5 / Wavelab 7
How many tracks do you manage to record / play simultaneously?
Never tried more than forty tracks with plug about 4 per track.
What you get lag?
3 or 4 ms recording (without plugins in to out) at least not perceptible by the musicians.
GETTING STARTED
The installation is done it without problem?
Cubase yes, fortunately.
Have you encountered any incompatibilities?
not
The general configuration is easy?
Automatically recognized in Cubase, for the allocation of physical inputs to the tracks, just select a track and pressing the entrance you want to assign. That's cool!
Against by the virtual console is quite minimalist, for example something that I regret: using the control room of Cubase you can assign software outputs to physical outputs for supplying the headphone amplifier musicians, well, no way to use the two headphone outputs of the MR (or so I have not found). They may not be copied in qu'utilisées physical outputs. It's too bad especially since I could do with my Motu.
OVERALL OPINION
How long you use it?
7 months.
What is so special that you love the most, least?
+ Quality preamps
+ The 8 mic
+ Low latency
The price +
+ Ease of use with Cubase
- Ergonomics of the console and the lack of possibility of routings
- A single ADAT port and suddenly no ability to record 96kHz ADAT 8
Did you tried many other models before buying it?
Motu 828 MKII and 2408 and 8pre
How would you rate the quality / price?
Good
With experience, you do again this choice?
Why not.
