Alright so I just ordered my iMac, 20-inch, 2GHz Intel Core Duo with Logic Express installed.
I'm leaning towards the MOTU ultrilite as my interface because I've read good things and it was recommended. I also like the number of inputs which will serve my needs just fine since I'll be tracking each instrument. I'm also looking at M-AUDIO Firewire 1814, but not sure if I need all the inputs. Any thoughts on these two or any other interfaces that I should check out. appreciate it. Rob |

I also don't really need the portablity of the ultralite at this point. Any thoughts?

Honestly, at this price point, your biggest concern should be driver stability. All of the mid-price interfaces have about the same quality converters and pres. MOTU is great for stability, so that'd be my choice. |

Yes, the MOTU stuff has a very good rep, you almost never hear about problems with their drivers etc. I got a second hand 828 mark 1 for a song, and it works great with logic. Have heard and read of problems with m-audio, also with cubase on the Mac. Logic and motu seem to have far fewer problems reported.
Cheers Minskybabs. |

I really appreciate all the feedback. I'm going to go with the MOTU Ultralite.
thanks again and I will post an update once I get things set up in the event others are considering the same configuration. |
