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. |

sorry, of course, dick entering a-hole whilst amusing, was obviously a freudian slip (d.e.a)!
 so, d.a.e = digidesign always expect (you're an a-hole)!  if your last name is clapton, jackson or houston, choose digidesign 'cos money is obviously no object and you're not going to personally have to deal with anything more than signing cheques. but be warned, signing cheques becomes increasingly difficult with these guys!  828 is firewire and it smokes dodgydesign... -------------------- one for all and all for one...
