Together or separate. These are both good units to get a lot of clean inputs for very cheap. M-Audio Octane - $400 obo Motu 24i - $200 It should be noted that this is a somewhat rare Motu unit. It isn't the 24i/o or 24ai or anything else. It is very much dedicated to getting 24 inputs without...

I record mostly myself and small groups I know. I've been using a Windows PC forever but need to get more mobile. I have a high powered MacBook Pro already so I'm going to use that. My current chain is: Preamps: Neve Portico Duo, M-Audio Octane Interface: Motu 24i (not the 24I/O) Software...

I currently have a Korg M1 and a Yamaha DX7. There's some nice sounds in there but I'm looking for more options, and I just can't seem to get them with the free VSTi's I've been playing around with. My primary need is for sweet sounds for recording, although having a lighter synth than my old...
