after 2 + years struggling with
my Presonus Firebox and issues with it I am considering "upgrading" to a MOTU Ultralite Do you use one? what are you're thoughts? What software do you use with it? does it function properly every time? I am running a iBook G4 1.2ghz 1.25GB Ram but often get poping and clicking and other digi noise with the firebox, I NEED reliability! and record live shows in the field There for I need a reliable unit that can function (by battery) with lack of "wall" power... any insight would be very helpful thanx -- Ian -------------------- ~ Archival Audio ~

Audiodesk is basically most of the audio part of DP, as it's MOTU form head to toes, it's truly integrated with their interfaces.
Now, the field oriented interfaces I know of are - The Ultralite firewire bus or main adapter powered - The Traveler, which can do the same plus it has a mean to run on batteries. - Metric Halo Mobile I/O (serious stuff) There are also less field oriented interface from Lexicon, TC… -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home

Yeah... I know the metric halo... I think its a bit out of my price range.... wish I could afford it also I like the traveler B&H photo sells it bundled with an EcoCharge battery unit... which I basically already have, a similar SLA 12v battery that I run to powere4 my firebox (non bus powered)I checked the Eco Charge website and they are not yet making a unit for the ultralite , but what I found was.... The Traveler or UltraLite needs a 12 watt DC power adapter. It can be of any polarity (tip positive or negative), and of any standard voltage from 10 to 24 volts. The easiest way to achieve 12 watts is to use a 12 volt, 1000 mA (1 A) power supply. which make me think it is possible to power via a SLA battery I like the small size of the ultrlite but the 4 mics pres of the traveller... no news is good news but Still I 'd like to hear some real world experiences -------------------- ~ Archival Audio ~
