All user reviews of 1/5 for the MOTU 828 Mk2 USB2

Price, brand, quality of prmaplis
My config: Win XP Pro 64-bit, Quad core 3.16 GHz, 8 GB dual channel ram 1066 mhz, motherboard and graphics card MSI, LACIE Hard Disk 2 TB.

UTILIZATION

The instalaltions is no problem, there is also that which is not a problem and the rack MOTU, the rest is a disaster despite several test diff ent and ordis DIFFERENT drivers and despite all the hours to consult the forums of MOTU and testing of their drivers and other DIFFERENT.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are rotten, evil thinking trs (Cracking in his untimely even with the latest drivers, the sound disappears and come back after a quarter of an hour .... crash) see forum the product in question, I am not alone in this.
I work with DIFFERENT software (Cubase 4, Ableton Live 7)

... but for the time and since - three months trs srieusement difficult to work with this sound card that does the reputable MRIT no one does MOTU around the world.

Before I had had the MMR and TASCAM, never any concern, the top all levels.

MOTU flee ................................

OVERALL OPINION

I bought there 2 ½ months

The particular feature I like most: she is pretty in a rack with all the green LEDs.

The report quality price: too expensive for it not working.

I do not would do the exprience to buy MOTU, the service "support" of MOTU products is like, three weeks after having encoyer several emails, still no products ... rponses means drivers unstable docs in English and communication with its customers the same.
Ms. Thoman home is m 'made it clear that their drivers silent hyper unstable and it is haphazard, or it works well or not it works .... but, you say so before buying the product!

I chose this card to renowned MOTU, because I shoot with the latest MacBook with no Firewire, and because I had 8 in 8 out, I will have used in my home studio and live. CHARACTERISTICS seemed to be perfect for what I wanted to do.

UTILIZATION

Dtenteur the latest Macbook BE CAREFUL!

The card does not pass on this MODEL, I tried a week for billions of drivers config update etc ...
I even format my mac ...

Can not make the card compatible, only the old and creaking sounds very weird and kind of unwanted card ...

Technical Service MOTU, thank you, he asks the serial number to help you, I buy the card so the opportunity numro dja silent record is no way that help me, I finally have a Russian mail explaining that he works on it and that drivers should be out soon, no precision ...

GETTING STARTED

I mark something well liked here, but I sold the card to someone who did not have a macbook 2008, I could never use the card ...

OVERALL OPINION

MOTU flee ...!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I buy a Edirol UA 101

installation = 2min
= 100% compatible
the rest is that of happiness!

The CHARACTERISTICS that motivated my choice of reputable taient especially as the MOTU as "quality of hardware and also the need for a reliable interface.
I work with a small PC, AMD Athlon 2.2 Ghz and 2GB of RAM. Windows XP Pro
The outputs of the interface on a console will Cfx20 mkII Mackie.

UTILIZATION

Stability of drivers to see the overall stability is more than BCAN mdiocre. The latest drivers are unusable for example while playing a VST instrument for example., Saturation dsagrable is heard. So j'tais forced to return to rear. Good thing I kept the old drivers in the corner of my computer.
When playing an audio file (with the right drivers or not) means to click an inviting beginners to read.
Working in Nuendo crashes are almost systmatiques. While you are working in your favorite squenceur a "Bzzzt" and nothing more. Forced to close the session, then on the dye interface and restarting the squenceur. In short, something frankly Nerva.

GETTING STARTED

Installation is no major concern, but when you see the instabillit the thing I do not know what to say.
Config. general is quite simple.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this interface for about 3 years (yes).
Previously I had a DSP 24 Hoontech: no worries
The report qualitprix is ​​catastrophic. The price of the bike new is simply not justified.
I'm not saying all this just to get a product or brand because it is easy to do, but I try to be as objective and HOnet possible.
With exprience it is clear that I would do not have that choice and would not recommend this product not to someone. If you have 700 euros for an interface adbourser; rflchissez well before you commit to buying a 828mkII USB.
