Originally posted by blue2blue Having owned MOTU 828mkII for a couple years I think I'd keep shoppin'... the MOTU wouldn't be out of the picture, necessarily, but it certainly would not be at the top of my list.* (It's been mostly quite acceptable. It's reliable. I can't say the converters struck me as any improvement over the Echo Mia in my desktop. And the mic pres are quite dull and dark sounding, I'd have to say bordering on "muffled." They would be the last pre's I would use for almost anything... and I have some pretty cheap and funky pres.) *While I appreciate the 'solid' construction of my 828 (and the new little box appears to use the same design precepts) one of the points of getting a small unit like that is portability. And I can tell you that my 828 is heavier than rack boxes twice its size because of its excessively heavy case. But it'll stop a .25 calibre slug, I'll bet. Maybe a .32. If I had been MOTU, I would certainly have investigated another type of case -- perhaps a composite. Anyhow... I've never had to deal with MOTU directly but I've heard it can be quite frustrating. i'm actually looking at purchasing the 828... and while i;ve heard the pre-amps are lousy... well i'll have 12 other preamp choices before those two.. can anyway say scratch tracks?? but all this complaining about motu customer support... i sent them some e-mails and pretty much got responses within 10 minutes... so i'll have to wait and see with that. and im glad you say its built like a little brick Brandon
