OK, Ive been using a MOTU 828 Mkii for a few years, but thats gone now and I have to buy something new. Currently looking at a MOTU ultralite or maybe an 828 mkiii - I can get them on Thomann's ex VAT for about â¬400 and â¬600 respectively.
I basically need something to go from Ableton into a Mackie 28/12 desk, 8-12 + outputs, no real need for fancy inputs.
Im planning on moving over to a mac setup soon, but Im currently on PC so a hybrid USB/Firewire would be ideal.
Budget was originally as cheap as I could get, but it looks like I can stretch a bit further, so Im wondering, should expand my horizons a bit and look at other manufacturers or other configurations? Maybe go secondhand on something better? I use a focusrite liquid saffire in work, and its got some lovely mic pre-amps, but its a bit too bulky and more suited to recording...
Any help would be appreciated...
