I've a Motu 248o. Happy with it. Easy to use unless I've unhooked things and forgotten inputs on top outputs on bottom, channel 24 left and 1 rightmost looking at rear pannel. Their mixer is more than I want to wrestle with, but a friend in the Tech Access biz came over and wven with tools in JFW v7, made it considerably more screen reader friendly. So I bet someone with HSC or the other program could do wonders. (trin) However, I never have to go there as I can do what I want in Sonar. No sweat! Just finished moving things around for easier accessability in mic room of studio, must touch up tuning of left bass drums, place mics and set levels, then, I'll start my demo recordings of the two sets and some stuff I do in practice routines for my contribution to the mag...

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
