I am looking to get a new system for audio recording. I am leaining towards the Motu 828, but I know the DIGI 001 is a hot seller. Will I sacrifice quaility by going with the Motu 828. Are the Preamps as good? And sound quality?
Mainly, we want to use it to create our first CD. So we'll be recording vocals, instruments etc. Will one lend itself to this application better than the other? What about quality? What about OS X support? What about for a newbie to learn, is the documenation on the MOTU 828 good enough that anyone could learn it easily, even a newbie, or do I need a book? Do they have books? I will also use it to sweeten some video work from Final Cut Pro. I here the Motu Digital Performer is great for this, especially since I could mix Surround sound with it. Any thoughts here. I basically like the MOTU better, but don't want to get something that will lessen the quality of the CD. |

The only advice I have to offer is that nowadays I automatically "erase" dodgydesign from my field of vision when I walk into my local music store. I know what's cool and what's carp.
I own an Apogee AD-8000 converter (yes, expensive but beautiful) and have a TDM ProFools rig and also, a much more creative, beefier in terms of DSP, and cheaper (than a single 2nd hand dodgydesign 888/24) MOTU 2408 rig. I have compared the output quality of the Apogee against the 2408 (I know I'm not talking about an 828 here, but my assumption is that the 2408's converters are similar) and the 2408 isn't quite as rounded in the bottom end as the Apogee, but hey!! For the money?! The 2408 s***s all over the sound quality of a dodgydesign 888!! Do those who use PT really know their a**e from their elbow, I ask myself? The 828 is something I really want to get my hands on. A DigiOO1 is something I laugh at when I see it in some poor chap's/lasses rack. Summary: If a (TDM based) 888/24 doesn't sound as good as a MOTU 2408, then what chances do the Digi001 have of sounding remotely usable, except for basic demos? And you only get 24 tracks!! I wont even mention the midi specs available in NoTools...there aren't any. I'm a Logic user! PS...by the way, Mr. T, what are you standing in between of? Is it 2 large racks of dodgydesign equipment that you cant sell? -------------------- Nobody can take from you what you give freely.
