In February I bought a g5 iMac. I use reason and ableton live. I also got a MOTU 828mkII from a friend for a VERY good price. However, for the three months that I had it I couldn't get any kind of response from it. I consider myself to be very entry level as far as digital recording goes. Anyway, I got tired of trying to get the mkII to work and refunded it with him. Now I'm looking at getting another interface. I need something to record a guitar direct and also to record vocals and an acoustic guitar through a microphone. I've read the reviews on have major problems with drivers and whatnot. I've even considered just buying a Fostex mr8 or even an analog multitrack cassette recorder, but I've already invested so much into my mac that it would seem like a waste to not utilize it, but I'm becoming very aggravated with trying to get things to work in sync. I need advice on M-Audio or Presonus interfaces. I've been thinking about getting a Firebox. Also, should I consider getting a mixer? At this point my aggravation level has couded my mind and I cannot put forth any constructive thought towards my problem. I just want to record folk/singer songwriter kinds of things and also record my guitar direct to put with things I do in reason to have a post-rock mogwai sort of thing.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

I have been using an M-Audio Delta 1010 for about 4 years. I guess overall it has been a pretty reliable interface on the audio side, but it has never been stable on the midi side. I have tried every thing in the world in an attempt to stablize the midi capability, but continues to result in very poor conisitency. I finally gave up and use an external midi (M-Audio) inferface, which is stable as rock.
That is very strange that you would have the kinds of problems that you experienced with the Motu 828. I used to have 2 of the units running on a G4 desk top unit and they were rock solid. I ended up selling for because I needed the funds. Allen |
