***NEW MOTU audio interface to be announced--also DP7.2

BradLyons · Post by **BradLyons** » Tue Jun 29, 2010 5:02 am

Hey guys...there is a new interface that is going to be publically announced today (should be today, anyway) from MOTU that is cool, REALLY REALLY COOL! IN FACT, I want one for my laptop and I want it now. Click here for a preview, and be sure to check the MOTU site later.

ALSO....they will be announcing DP7.2 which adds some cool new features including right-click contextual menus, live searching of files, remote control via the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch among other features...and it's a FREE UPGRADE. Oh the ability to change skins or "themes" is REALLY cool, I must admit the CARBON FIBER preset makes DP look awesome!

Thanks for the heads up.

Looks like they may have seen the attention that amplidood and iperformer received with their GUI mods.

Looking forward to reading about the new interface and the 7.2 features.

YES MOTU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's amazing news. And so quick!

Brad, do you know if they fixed the Bundles issue when you bring VIs from Clippings or Templates? They keep coming in Italics...

Oh, and did you say the upgrade was for free? Wow!

The Microbook is up on MOTU's site now, looks cool!

not sure on the fix....as to the MicroBook, I think it's going to be a huge hit. It's perfect for my laptop when I'm at home just for audio playback. I have the OPTICAL output of my MacPro going into my Central Station's Optical input, so the Coax out of this will be perfect for the Coax input in the Central Station. As to the upgrade, I should have said UPDATE---if you're on DP7 already, DP7.2 is a free update.

Hey Brad, do you have the lottery numbers for the CA lottery this Wednesday? Please PM me (I wouldn't want to create a panic...)

Thanks for the heads up. This looks like it could put MOTU and DP over the top.

My Apogee one has XLR inputs... plus a built in mic to boot. Sorry MOTU but this won't cut it.

It has XLR adaptors. RTF website... LOL!

Oh, and the built in mic is a good one, I'm sure.

Can't agree with you, nr. I think this is going to be big. But feel free to ignore it.

Now here's the one million $$$ question:

ETA for DP7.2?

BradLyons · Post by **BradLyons** » Tue Jun 29, 2010 8:24 am

The ETA for the DP7.2 update I believe they were shooting for the end of July, if not sooner.

By the way yes, the mic is really good! It's smaller than my iPhone. I'm not a fanboy, so I'm just comparing apples to apples here, no harm done.

I have to deal with a lot of consumer-professional audio gear interconnection at work so I love the inclusion of 1/8" and 1/4" connections.

This device would be awesome if you could just plug in two condenser mics for a quick x-y recording. Without the second mic pre, I still vote for spending more on the Ultralite.
