okay im so close to being able to get an interface but i just have to choose one, ive come across the motu 8pre interface and the presonus firepod, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or any experience with either of them,j or even a suggestion on another interface in this price range, ive heard very good things about the presonus but i havent really heard much of anything about the motu so if anyone could help that would be awesome

Do a search. I wrote up a pretty extensive bunch of points about these two interfaces a couple months back. Short version: I have two 8Pre interfaces and a FIREPOD. I'm selling the FIREPOD.
 
i read your post, very informative, do you have any compaison audio sample by any chance, and does the motu come with software? you mentioned digital performer i didnt know if it came with that or not, and im a total beginner so i just want to make sure that this can record all the inputs separatley into the software, its probably a dumb question, i bet it does haha.
 
Not sure what you're using computer-wise, but Digital Performer is Mac only.

I wouldnt put the presonus in the same league as the MOTU. I choose to use MOTU myself (828MKII) though I have the presonus available to use free of charge. I dont even like their nicer unit, the Firestudio, as much as MOTU gear. Nearly all of my stuff on my site is recorded thru MOTU gear.
