I am looking to get a new system for audio recording. I am leaining towards the Motu 828, but I know the DIGI 001 is a hot seller. Will I sacrifice quaility by going with the Motu 828. Are the Preamps as good? And sound quality?
Mainly, we want to use it to create our first CD. So we'll be recording vocals, instruments etc. Will one lend itself to this application better than the other? What about quality? What about OS X support? What about for a newbie to learn, is the documenation on the MOTU 828 good enough that anyone could learn it easily, even a newbie, or do I need a book? Do they have books? I will also use it to sweeten some video work from Final Cut Pro. I here the Motu Digital Performer is great for this, especially since I could mix Surround sound with it. Any thoughts here. I basically like the MOTU better, but don't want to get something that will lessen the quality of the CD. |

i'd like to address this post directly to motu.
 you guys are responsible for THE most popular, revered AUDIO INTERFACES available.  your forward thinking, and endorsement of the macintosh platform has culminated in the release and ultimately wholehearted endorsement of the wonderful 828.  PLEASE realise that, although you were the first music based software developers for the mac, and have maintained EXCELLENCE in this arena, your hardware is endorsed by MANY musicians that don't use performer software.  STAY AHEAD, don't wait for performer to be ready for x before you make audio drivers available. realise that your hardware has a whole REPUTATION of its' own, that could, in the event of you taking it seriously enough, HELP dp. if motu had released the first x audio drivers, a major battle would have been won outright by the favourites. every salesman in every music store would have naturally recommended a complete motu solution to every purchaser of a new mac!!!  at the moment, unfortunately, i, and many others are wondering how quickly to "ditch" motu hardware in order to stay in the "game". hammerfall seem to have chosen their name very well. let's see a "hammerfall" from the MASTERS of the game. please. -------------------- one for all and all for one...
