Value For Money :
Excellent
I chose this interface for its number of inputs / outputs (10 and 10) and also 2 inputs / outputs Adat
I use it for recording voice or instrument. It is coupled with a pre Focusrtite in Octo ADAT and various pre-tube amps to analog (SPL, Art, Focusrite, TLA ....)
UTILIZATION
I use it on my pc with usb Win XP Pro 64bit and Nuendo 4. No stability problem drivers except that XP wants to re-install every time you start while they are there. Another bug, I do not know to the Motu as the default so the player does not work in Windows. It does not matter since I do not use it ...
I do not do multi-track recording so I can not speak to the number of tracks that may have ...
Low latency in the order of 4/6 ms and I can still go down ...
GETTING STARTED
Installation without any problem if it is the one quoted above. Of course I updated the firmware and drivers.
It has the ability to quickly record a track but it is not an interface to put in the hands of a beginner I think. It took me a few tries and some reading / re-reading the manual to get to the set as I wanted. That said, this is my first Motu, maybe someone familiar with their philosophy was faster than me
Cuemix software provides control inputs / outputs and make the mix without a host software. Thereupon the manual is not very clear either. I do not think I have explored the entirety of its possibilities ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 5 months, I tried some other sound card as Tascam 1648, 144 ... We are in another world with the Motu, maybe not top notch but it is close.
I love the routing options: I'm using the console "control room" Nuendo 4 stereo sends musicians to talk back system with each consignment controlled by a foot pedal to keep your hands free ..
The number of analog and digital inputs are more than enough and you can easily end up with 26 inputs via ADAT and 2 analog which is enough for a recording studio ..
I do not like this conflicts with the Windows Media Player but it's still a good detail for me
I got 600 € from Thomman in "B-Stock" instead of € 780. Very good quality / price ratio in this case
