Or would the two work together in some way?
Phil replied: you could use them together or, you could sell your MOTU and
Mackie off
Greg wrote: Right now the MOTU has the 8 ins
and outs, plugged in to my mack board, and I pretty much just use 1 and 2.
Hardly ever the others, now that I import audio to mix. I wonder if I could
do alright with out the Mackie and the MOTU if I got this board?
Phil replied: the FW1884 has 8 mike line inputs with inserts and 2 banks of
phantom power, plus an ADAT input, SPDIF input and output and 4 MIDI input
and output ports. so, you could probably managed fine without the Mackie.
Note: the FW1884 doesn't have an EQ however, that's not a big deal as you
would be using the EQ in Sonar. The FW1884 is great for recording
automation in Sonar as it has 9 motorised faders. Using it, feels much more
like using a concel.
Greg wrote: And, would this board be quieter?
Phil replied: I don't know as I don't run a Mackie here. Having said that,
the pree-amps in the FW1884 are very quiet indeed. After purchasing the
FW1884, I got rid of my MOTU 2408.
Greg wrote: I'm assuming you can run mikes through.
Phil replied: you can indeed. See my comments above. You can read more
about how to use the FW1884, over on my website. Go to the site, and ether
from the broadband site or, the dialup site, choose the "accessibility
Training" page. Then, you can access the "FW1884 for dummies" document,
there.
