The number of input and output of many preamps that are of good quality. Very useful, 8 phantom power and routing systems can send different mix in the headphones of various members of the group that recorded.


UTILIZATION

Used with xp sp 2, laptop centrino 1596 MHz and 1.5 GB of RAM, which is already 5 years old and still all his teeth! No problems with drivers downloaded from the site. The card does not require large resources given the age of my machine is good. The update on the website of drivers motu is followed. Used with Cubase SX.

GETTING STARTED

Easy installation, setup is easy. Over long recording periods (several hours or a day) no worries. on the other hand can encounter problems if you turn the computer inadvertently. It is better to eliminate all paused the computer that can disrupt the operation of the card and let everything run if absent shortly.

OVERALL OPINION

More than two years of use. Using the Roland GS 10 above, I still use it in addition to the motu for guitar effects and amp simulations via USB port. There is no picture quality preamp and what pleases me most is the number of inputs and outputs, preamp and phantom power and possibilities of routing and mix. Now I no longer need as many inputs and outputs and I'm going back on a small card less bulky (the motu 896 hd is formatted rack) in a cell block mind-note music. And if I need to save something more ambitious or praise I will borrow the gear.
