J uses this card with a PC that runs XP and I used the preamp or console channel strip.

UTILIZATION

Home Motu c j is the one that got more stable, I'm for less than a year and I have not yet had a blue screen and bug with 0.
Before this one I'd a 896HD, ultralite, 828Mk2 usb and firewire .. and a lot of bug.

I usually work on standalone in samplitude and melodyne asio.

I have never done the update driver (not required)

GETTING STARTED

Easy to install drivers.
Cons by J had a little bug with my Lynx.
J have the reverse port between the two cards and run everything (weird but good)

OVERALL OPINION

J have compared this card on the master with a Lynx one XLR and one apogee mini me.
between the lynx and 1224, filing of the motu stereo is more realistic, low-range and cleaner and more defined treble.
Apogee when the conversion is even clearer that the motu.

For the 8 inputs against outputs do not sound the same, they have less lower than the master, c is a shame the only weakness that I blame him.
