I chose this interface after a few comparative shots of the press Specializes (given the number of products on the market ...) and their long exprience.J 'needed to least 8 analog inputs and 2 numriques. I use it for my demos and my realiss soundtracks for my Latin jazzy reggae trio (singer, piano / keyboards, percussion).
My computer config: Dell Dimension 8300, 3.06Ghz, 2048 MB RAM, a 120GB SATA HDD (system), a 250GB HDD (given). Cubase SX2 And, Wavelab 5, plugins etc ...
I use many keyboards (Korg T1, promega3, Akai S3200 Sampler, emu SP12, Roland JX 8P and 10P, Hammond B3 organ, CP80, mini moog, Solina, Korg 800DV, Emulator II +, Korg DSS1, Piano acoustic 2m36 3 / 4 PETROF tail ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since January 2004 and against ATTENTION! in January 2006 it breaks down (sounds terrible happened) So I compared my dealer, who returned the importer, which the United States .. Total expdier I rcupr seven months later in July 2006, in fact I reu an interface (the box) nine the PCI 424 as the meme.L I said s'tait monstrously long (but I'm used to the material Amricain (my emu for example) is great, but is important not that crashes if not FAREWELL ... So glad rcuprer j'tait all my good and can continue working, as is my mtier and ... After installing the software, turn on the interface, bizzzzareee noise for 5 seconds and CURTAIN, NADA, Kafu, nothing any complexion, FAILURE.
I would say nothing on value?? Money I could say things trs trs trsdsagrables.
If I do it again this choice? see ... , Rflchissons ... and no, no, no!
Too bad it's interface seemed to be good, but a force to drive prices in all directions, the quality would be terrible and I found my mots.Cela PSE said it is not exclusive MOTU , Behringer too (terrible problem with my MX 8000 and my four Ultra curve, change of my APRS PROMEGA March 1 year of purchase (welds let go ...).
us, small home-studio owners, are happy to buy these products even when
trs performance (compared what we had in the 80s (yes I am 46 years dja) o an unfortunate K7 fostex 4-track studio brought price worth paying francs.Le 8000 is the solid which is increasingly declining.
