I just recently bought a MOTU 828 and have been running it with a lot of demo software on my PC. I'm not that interested in MIDI but I'm sure I'll have use for it in the future. I'm having a hard time deciding between Sonar, Vegas, and Cubase. I just wanted other people's input on this...

I just went to the website, it looks like MOTU has WDM drivers for Windows 2000 now as well as the other windows.

I found some. Just so other people can know they are made by a company called magma and run in the $800-$1000 range. Firewire seems to be much more cost effective.

I've heard that you can get a PCI card adaptor/case for laptops so you could use a regular sized desktop PCI card. I've also heard that they were very expensive. Does anybody know who makes these? I couldn't find them on a google search. -Jamie

I've found that shreve audio, www.shreveaudio.com, has very good prices on MOTU stuff compared to other retailers. They have the best price on the 828 that I've seen so far. -Jamie

Thanks for the info! I'd still like to hear if anybody has a successful laptop studio going with any of this gear or similar stuff. -Jamie

I'm wondering just how good firewire is? I've got a pentium 800 laptop and a mackie 1604 vlz pro mixer. I was thinking about getting the MOTU 828 and possibly a firewire hard drive. I'm mainly interested in recording small rock groups. I thought this would be cool because I can use the 828...

You might already know this but I believe the main thing that most stand alone CD-Rs are good for is that you can burn to disk in "real time". This means that if you are mixing down to the CD-R through a mixer you can apply effects and change levels as you go. Most PC CD-Rs do not burn in...

I was just wondering what the differences were between the AKG 1000B, 2000B, and 3000B (besides the price). I've heard they are pretty good and needed a good microphone for studio vox and other rock band applications besides my sure SM 57s. I was wondering what people's opinions were on the...

Does anybody know how good the preamps are on the new Aardvark Direct pro Q10? I am contemplating whether to get that with cakewalk or a Mackie 1604 VLZ pro and a delta 10/10. My price range is $1,000-2,000. I have a Pentium III 500 computer running windows 98 with 192 Mb of SDRAM. I would...

Anybody have any idea where to get the best price on Event 20/20 monitors? I've heard such good reviews from everbody that I would like to get a pair. Thanks.

Does anybody know about the MOTU 1296? I'm wondering whether the preamps are going to be quality enough without a mixer. I sure would like to get somthing with 12 inputs but I can't afford a 1296 and a mixer.

Thanks! I did not know that. This actually helps me a lot. -Jamie

I was just wondering if there is any benefit to having all XLR inputs when you are recording using mostly mics or if TRS inputs (using XLR to TRS 1/4 inch jacks) were just as good.

Hi I'm in the market for a PC computer recording interface. I've been looking at the Delta 10/10, Digi 001, and MOTU 1296. I am mostly interested in recording bands. I have a few sure SM 57 and 58s and an audio technica drum kit pack for mics. Is there any benefit to all XLR inputs like the...
