Hi Mac Music Makers
Is there anybody out there using Motu 828? I am seriously considering buying one . It looks great on paper but I would like to hear from an experienced user as this would be my first encounter with fire wire based audio. CoolColin |

Why not use Digital Performer? MOTU made the 828 for use with it (it helps when your hardware & software are from the same company). AudioDesk is just the audio section of DP. You can get DP at a discount when buying the 828, or as an upgrade to AudioDesk. If you already have Logic Audio, I can understand wanting to stay with it. If you're only recording 8 tracks at a time, firewire throughput is less of an issue - but (I'm sure you already know) recording to a dedicated HD is essential to avoid glitches caused by the OS or background tasks accessing the HD while recording. Have you checked www.motu.com to see about availability in Austria? I'm sure a major American catalog retailer like Sweetwater would be happy to sell you one - not sure about taxes/import duties at your end, though.
