Hi there guys I have just started work on my 6th album. I am a popular pop/rock singer from Pakistan. I have some really decent equipment in my personal studio. Focusrite isa 220 preamp. U87 neumann mic. Genelec 1031A's with a 7070A subwoofer. Working on Cubase SX 2.0.

The only questionable piece of equipment is my Motu 2408 MKII (24bit 48khz). Questionable because some other studio owners are telling me I need to upgrade to 24bit 96khz to really get the best sound possible. They are telling me that motu2408 is outdated technology. They are suggesting that I get the digi 002 soundcard.

So whats your advice on that front. I have got to start recording vocals pretty soon.
 
If you like the sound that you're getting, I'd just stick with what works for you.

Personally, I wouldn't consider the Digi's converters much of an upgrade... Apogee, Lavry, Mytek - That's an upgrade. Digi is more of a side-step.

Of course, YMMV, IMHO, etc., etc.
 
Wow I got 9 replies to my ignore post and only 1 reply to the actual post itself. Haha. Anyway thanks for your reply massive master. Are there any other opinions out there on the matter? Is going from the Motu 2408 to the Digi 002 really just a side step as opposed to an upgrade?


Thanks
 
I would consider a 96khz card, but the Digi 002 is quite expensive for what you are getting.
 
I wouldn't consider ANY card - If you're serious enough to want quality converters, you're serious enough to keep them out of the box and away from all that interference.

As far as the difference between the converters - I didn't like the Digi's. I'm pretty neutral about the MOTU stuff.

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to upgrade that unit at some point - Not for the higher sample rate (44.1kHz is fine with a good set of converters), but simply for the better overall performance of more modern converters. I would assume the newer MOTU units perform better than the older ones.

But again, if the sound is good, there's probably nothing wrong with the converters you're using.
