SO which clocks are good for the money? Is one clock better than another? It's all 1s and 0s, seems weird to me. I like MOTU stuff, and they have an MTP and Digital Time Piece. I like Apogee too, but that name means high price. Is it worth having for just one adat and soon to be digial...
Where do I get good info about clocks and what they can do for my setup which includes a MOTU2408 and an ADAT thus far. I hear it helps, though I don't exactly understand why. If it makes a difference, I usually use Nuendo and CEP.

WHy are you only looking at the MKI of MOTU 2408? MKII has been going on ebay lately for about 500, which is pretty darn cool, but occasionaly they go for 350-400, which is even better.
Doesn't the digi002 go for about 2.5K? That is a huge chunk of 6K. If you get a great computer, even PC with dual processors and stuff that could be 1800$ by the time you include dual monitors. I assum you want that. I think the best sound is hard to achieve just by gear. I mean, you don't...
There are a good number of posts starting to show up in the rack and mic forums about the VTB-1. The reviews are very favourable, even against those 2,000$ preamps mentioned above...now I am not saying they are as good, but they are favourable. Anyway, you might want to check it out.

It most likely was an 18" standard which is 1/5 feet. Then people realized it would be better to house all this stuff in a nice cabinet, so they added one inch for ears, and there you go. 19"....
Just a theory.

Well Alan, I trust your opinion and I don't think you be proud of something crappy. I might just have to get one of those in the ver near future. At that price, it won't hurt to have around just for tracking remotely, so I think I will get one.
I have one other completely off-base question...
Just for the record, I do frequent this forum, however because I haven't built anything yet, I have little insight to offer. However, in response to wanting a great room, I would say Sq footage does't matter as much as ceiling height. The sound comes from overall largeness of the room and...
Hey Alan, I have a few questions about this unit. You said you put it up against an Avalon and Grace, and it did fine. I am wondering, are those preamps designed to sound the same? I love the avalon sound, I mean, it is really nice, but I also love the sound of a Presonus Digimax too, but in a...
Would the clock on a MOTU MTP AV or Digital Time Piece be just as good? I am looking into an MTP AV pretty seriously. It has MTC, Wordclock, Superclock, ADAT and probably some others that I can't think of right now. not to mention I get 8 midi interface I/O.
Is any clock unit an...
I agree on not charging per song. I did that on my last project and got hosed. I wouldn't do it again. Charge per hour, even if it isn't much. The client will be more focused if you charge them on a per time basis. You might try 8$ per hour plus media charges if you are brand new. I don't...
WHat is the highest sample rate that card can handle? That is probably the biggest issue if you are going to only ever record in stereo at most. I would probably at least look at something with four inputs, but as you say, you don't need bells and whistles. So, sample rate is key, possibly...
Can I start and stop my ADAT through Nuendo or CEP or Cubase SX or acid? That would be neat. I have a MOTU 2408 with adat an adat sync cable and stuff, but I haven't figured anything out yet, nor have I tried. I figured someone here could straight shoot it for me. Nuendo would be ideal. It...
