The 410 has never really worked. Every driver has some kind of issue. Hanging MIDI notes; Loss of audio monitoring, being just the most recent things. It's well spec'd, but doesn't deliver. They've had long enough to get it right..
I need something with solid dependability, low latency and the usual. I'll move away from Cubase and Garageband and get a new DAW. WHAT'S GOOD? MBox 2 Pro? At least it'd come with a good DAW.. or MOTU UltraLite? and maybe get Logic Express or something?.. |

Yeah, I think that Logic would make more sense then, specially as I'll trigger a lot. I've also read it's less processor hungry.
(I suppose I could get an MBox2 Pro, and buy Logic to run with it as an alternative to the included LE, but that's obviously at more expense.) As for the Interface suggestions, RME, Presonus, MOTU... It seems the MOTU UltraLite has the option of many simultaneous audio inputs like big PT, which as a drummer that is attractive (the 410 only allows 2 analogue at any one time). I saw a Tascam one that included a control surface which would be great, but I'm reluctant to try stuff I've not heard a lot about. As a newbie can I ask, can you map those individual inputs to different channels in the DAW, or do they get bussed to a stereo track? If the MOTU is a stable option with good drivers, I think it's MOTU UltraLite & Logic. I've sometimes gone months without being able to record, because of the 410.. Thanks once again lepetitmartien. |
