OK, to make a short story long...
I currently use a pair of MOTU 2408 MKII, giving me an I/O count of 16. These have been great interfaces, and I will continue to use them.
However...
My poor PC is at it's limit. It's old and tired. I have a new PC, but my old PCI card is incompatible with it.
This leaves me with two choices:
1. Upgrade to a PCIE 424 card by MOTU.
2. Purchase another interface (USB or Firewire, do not currently have Thunderbolt capability) that has a couple of ADAT I/Os so I can still use the 2408 MKII units.
My (self-imposed) budget for this is $350 or less, including any necessary cables with which to attach the MOTU units.
I know that there are forum members out here with similar experience or stories to tell. If you were in a similar situation, what would you do? Or, what did you do? Any caveats, horror stories, success stories or other wisdom based on experience that you would be kind enough to share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
