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.

I have been having a similar dilema. I have purchased an 828 and absolutely love it, mostly because it is firewire and can use it with either a laptop or desktop. DP is a very nice DAW, although maybe not as refined as pro tools. I have used both and think that DP has a learning curve that is a lot easier to overcome than pro tools. What's more, MOTU has tried to add similar features from PT into DP, making the migration easier for users of PT. That said, I will probably end up also buying a 002 for mobile recording but still keeping DP for my main desktop because of DP's ability to use HD and TDM hardware. It is difficult (if not impossible) to get PT to interface with MOTU hardware. PT is a little too proprietary for me, but I do like how refined and powerful the interface is.

The choice for you really comes down to how much extra gear do you want to haul around for mobile recording, if that is even a thought for you? With DP, you can cary a laptop, external harddrive, and an 828. Can't do that with the 001. But if you are recording in only one place, the decision needs to boil down to ease of use and power. DP does a great job, there are a mess of plugins for it, as there are for PT, the choice comes down to what you want in the future.
