I am very interested in purchasing a motu 828 for use with my new ibook 500, but am curious about performance issues.. Will there be limitations compared to a G4 powerbook (such as multitrack use) because of the limited bus speed (66mhz) on the ibook as well as the 4200 Rpm hard drive and 256k on board cache (instead of the powerbooks 1mb on board)..
I know I can compensate somewhat with lots of Ram...but Basically I want to know if its wise to use the motu 828 with an ibook? Thank you for your advice in this matter.. |

I have an 828 and G4 laptop and I too am anoyed at the size of the soundcard, it makes a rediculous bundle. Check out the 'USBpre' (search) 2 channel card, its for the film industry, so its only 2 channel, but its XLR, phantom and has MS too and it's bus powered. Its looks ideal for porta-recording. But its about £500..
Also emagic do a 4 channel (I think) bus powered sound card, which is cheaper(but no XLR's). As for HD speeds, as far as I know, the Firewire bridge becomes an issue with HD's that are not true Firewire, but they use an inbuilt converter/bridge which is slow. So you need to look into the details of the HD in question. Hope thats of help. -------------------- melta
