Yes, that's a good point. I've heard that the TI/Lucent chipset is supposed to be *better* somehow, but I haven't heard a good explanation of why that is. I think you're right that there are folks out there that have the recommended chipset that are still having trouble. Also, I don't think I've hea...

Thanks, pfschaefer. It sounds like you're up and running without too many issues. That's encouraging. I guess what's bothering me about MOTU right at the moment is that it seems like there are a lot of people that are having troubles (from minor annoyances to major problems) with their FireWire base...

Thanks for the info pfschaefer. This is sounding a little iffy. I'm wondering if I ought to give MOTU a miss and check out RME's FireFace.

Thanks for the info, Guitarmuzic! That helps a lot. That gives me an idea of about what to expect. Did you find that you had to tweak/disable extraneous devices or did it pretty much work out of the box? To Brad's point, I understand that there are a *HUGE* number of variables that determine whether...

Yep, the FireWire data stream from the UL has your audio data in it. That way, you can play it back over the computer speakers, and record it to the computer's harddrive for later playback/editing.

You could use the main output of the UL for your Marshall cabinet, but you would need to run it through an amplifier first. The output of the Ultralite is just normal line level. You should be able to hear the output through your computer speakers without making any further connections. You might do...

Hello, all I've been interested in the MOTU UltraLite, but I've also been reading the material about FireWire chipsets, so I thought I'd ask before I try to do this. I've read about wanting to have the TI chipset, and that there doesn't seem to be an ExpressCard version of a FireWire interface that ...
