The Behringer and Mackie are not audio interfaces.
They send and receive midi data.

Well, what disadvantages would the Behringer present over the mackie?
And what mackie modelare we talking about here? That way I can have a
look at it. But I know the fw1884 was like 1500 when it was not
discontinued. I would sell the motu and get that but I heard the pre
amps are not as good. Although what annoys me about the motu is that
you can not bypass the pre amps and most of the control pannel stuff
is not accessible at all. I assume with the fw1884 is but I don't want
to sacrifice sound quality unless I can bypass those pres and use
outboard gear that I don't have at the moment haha. But, with the 1884
I know you have 8 channels to work with. How many on the Behringer and
mackie? Thanks
