Between thos 2, I would purchase the MOTU. The MOTU stuff is amaizing, and the software for the MOTU control panel is accessible.

Hmm. Okay. Their new audio interface has 2 tube channels, which is why i'm considering buying it. the only thing holding me back is the concern that the software control pannel of the card may not be accessible? Any thoughts? Omar Binno www.omarbinno.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Sean A.

There is no software, is a rack of preamps that connect to the FW1884 giving you 16 A to D converters.

I may give it another crack and buy one in the future when I can afford it. Is the software foryour presonus accessible with jaws?

No, can't say that I have. Ya-know, its to bad your not using the FW1884 and an ADAPT interface. Phil, Herman, myself and many others are having great success.

Hey Omar, I have the presonus 96K 8 channel preamp connected to my FW1884 using ADAT , and it's dead quiet!. I did one of HF's songs using the presonus and it's all class A circuitry..

Hello, Has anyone on here used any audio interfaces by Presonus? I'm looking to possibly purchase one of their higher end audio interfaces, and I was wondering if their software is accessible with jaws. Thanks. Omar Binno www.omarbinno.com
