I really like my 896hd. It isn't as clean as my TwinQ but I think it holds up quite nicely. There's not much "suck" to it.

3 very diffrent opinions here but helpfull all the same, is there any outboard pres that you would compare them too so i can get an idea of the level of suck or clean ?

I don't think you can really compare the MOTU pres with a quality outboard pre... thats not really what it's designed for... but against other similar muli-channel audio interfaces they fall in the upper class... I've loved all of the MOTU products that I've owned...

Even with these eight pres your eventually want to invest in a quality outboard pre for your featured tracks...

Or... if your going to be primarily tracking one channel at a time, go for an outboard pre and compressor for the about the same price... and shine on that one channel... depends on what you're trying to accomplish...

Oh i know there hardly going to be amazing but it doesnt matter becouse im getting an old amek desk soon and that will kick all kinds of ass,

i was just kinda curious and i was playing around with the idea of one for live recording.
