That cant be helped. My girlfriend is definately snappier since 5.12! Yes - as long as we dont start to demand that MOTU are going to tackle that job as well, ( making are girlfriends/life companions snappier ) Me thinks Magic Dave and his gallant crew have their hands full anyway. :) Cheers: Dixiec...

Black Lion Audio dont do the clock-mod any more. They will be coming out with their own masterclock unit. This is what they told me about their mod - as it pertains to MOTU-828: As for the analog stages, amplifier bandwidth is increased from roughly 8mhz under the stock design to 250mhz under the mo...

Hi James! I‘m sure with a little wrangling, you could get Monster Cables to design a cable specifically made to complement your swelte personality :wink: , this would get the crowds in an uproar wherever you perform. :D But maybe knicker-throwing ladies in the front rows wouldnt sitt well with your ...

On the Black Lion Audio website they claim that RME uses the same converters as MOTU ( and many others ) The converters are Asahi Kasei (AKM), and are the same converters used in many other brands of interfaces, including Digidesign, RME, Maudio, Roland, and many more. http://www.blacklionaudio.com/...

Now that inconsistencies in the DP GUI have been pointed out. Would someone like Frodo or Shooshie compile them and forward them to MOTU. ( these changes seem mostly trivial to accomplish - for MOTU programmers ) I could do it - but I figure someone more professional than myself :lol: would carry mo...

Yes of course we all :?: love DP :wink: and we all want our favourite child to be best in class at everything. By all means you should forward this wish to MOTU.

Hi Grimepoch! Yes - floating point processing is usually way faster than integer processing in a CPU. Cpu:s generally tries to do branching predictions on the instructions lined up in the piplines - predict the future if you will - to speed things up. The more you can have the FPU process the instru...

Hi all! jrdmcdnld mentioned in this thread ( post nr 2 I believe ) that: ProTools HD uses 48bit fixed math. DP (using MAS) works in 32bit floating point. That 48bit processing may have the capability to somehow sound better than - 32 bit processing - is perhaps not surprising. ( bigger is better :wi...

Just my two cents... I havent had lot of reasons to contact MOTU tech-support - and as others already have pointed out - the support from this site and the people here - are great. However MOTU have responded to my e-mails within 2 or at most 3 days. With concise questions/instructions etc to help m...
