I have not used MOTU so cannot compare based on experience. I do currently use the RME Digiface USB. It is compact and works well with up to four ADA8200's. RME drivers are ace.

You are correct Dave. I missed that one, apologies for that. Yes with that in mind it seems indeed that the addition of an RME Digiface USB is a simple and straight forward solution. It is a lovely...

Agreed. I built mine into my pc case so it does not take any additional space in the rack. It sits in the CD bay area. Works a treat, could not be happier with a successor of my old Digiface.
But...

There are PCIe - PCI converters that would allow you to run a PCI card in a PCIe slot. Not sure how well this works with sound cards. I ordered one of these things when I was in a somewhat similar...

Would the announcement be in any way related to a nearby date, let's say early april?

Funny to see there is at least one thing in pro audio that is cheaper in Europe. I believe I paid between €300 and €400 for mine, and believe it is well worth it. Great little device.

Another...

Yes you are right about that. However, I interpreted the original question not as a feature to route audio over the internet. The question as I read it is about "streaming" on a local network from...

I found a decent SFF desktop PC and a Digiface USB interface. Both lightly used in very good condition and the price was right. The PC has no PCI slots and is somewhat larger than the old box. Not...

Nope, it was dead indeed when I initially attempted to boot the PC after a period of not being used. I replaced the battery with a fresh one. While I was at it I updated the BIOS with the latest and...

Hi Tomy, I am not sure if this PC's bios has a section where the temperatures can be read, I can check that out. But I am very sure that the cause is not high temperature. The processor is cool to...

Hi John, no unfortunately this has nothing to do with dust. I routinely open my pc's to vacuum the dust out. This pc is clean inside. Also no virus or malware. This is an older XP PC that has never...

After being busy with other things in life for a few years I have recently started getting back into music and audio. I needed some audio mixing so out came my trusty old system with 3x ADA, an RME...

If I read Steven's post correctly, he currently has the problem with ADA8000's. He wonders if it could have anything to do with their reputation of suffering from heat build up. And whether the new...

You can with some soundcards. With the HDSP and newer RME cards you can use TotalMix to do virtual loopbacks. It does cost you channels on your input device. On the other hand there is no need for...

Had it been a power amp I would have said: boat anchor ;)

:D
I rest my case your honour



(and don't ask me how I know about this)

Yes, the underlined part is relevant. Think about it.

Two things are relevant here. Starting with one that is simple to grasp. Are you familiar with the generic Windows sounds? The asterisk,...

Are you talking about signal switch buttons, or trackball/mouse and mouse buttons? Here's my USB signal switch box with arcade buttons:...

About a year or so ago I have put two of those arcade buttons in a box with the guts of a USB game controller, for use with the SAC signal switch. Perhaps they have done the same? I have to say from...

In my experience a singer needs confidence to sing well. If a touch of reverb gives the singer confidence, then that is what the monitor mix needs, for that singer.

I have a friend who writes software for a living. When working on things, every now and then he tends to get frustrated on a bug that won't go away and throws his mouse away. He used to have a wired...

Cutlist is the one indeed. Some weird things in the interface, but very very useful nonetheless.

The RME cards are very well made, they rarely break. I'd do a little more troubleshooting if I were you. Good thing to connect just one ADA8000 and work from there.

There is a four-position...

Working with and talking about secret things is nothing unusual in a corporate environment and I can tell from personal experience that any excitement soon wears off. If secrecy is what the customer...

That is correct.
If you plug in an individual input, the main 1/2 inputs are muted for that channel. The individual inputs are not balanced, just plain L+R+grd on TRS.

I don't have a studio....
