Hey guys, i've been researching for a little while now what interface to get, and i'm stuck between the MOTU 828mk3 Hybrid, and the Saffire Pro 40, (also the Liquid 56 isn't out of the question). I have a budget of around 1000, but the less means more mics, etc.
I just got an iMac, and i've heard MOTU is awesome on macs, but i'm still torn between the two, (i'd prefer to keep the 56 out unless its REALLY that much better).
My purposes of use will be some solo home recordings, but i want to be able to record full bands; as well as ADAT and midi i/o which i believe both have.
I am wondering if the MOTU is really worth the extra cash (750$ ?) over the 40 (500$ ?) I am not too concerned with the effects on the MOTU beings that im fine with applying those via my DAW, which btw i havent decided on whether i'm getting Logic, or Pro Tools, but will most likely be Logic Pro 9.
I am mainly wondering if anyone has experience with the quality of the preamps on both, headroom, etc. And if it would make sense to get one then later on get the other and connect via ADAT.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
