Post by Pappy725 »

Still no mention of DP 6, but it looks like they are coming out of the closet about some of the new stuff.
CueMix now has EQs, FX, Compression, 16 channels of ADAT, 8 at 192kHz.
ooooooo, I want one!

I checked MOTU's store, it hasn't been updated since last July.

Pretty sure they only sell upgrades and small accessories online/directly. Also, wasn't the 828mkII the same price as the original when it came out?

I think so, my mkII was $795. The wife is gonna s#*^ if I get one of these. I just got the 8Pre last summer. It still looks like FW400 on the back panel of the unit.
Yeah, you can get PCI and-E cards and manuals in the store. Wonder why no hardware?
Oh well, got a call into my Sweetwater rep and I'm sure Brad will be chiming in as soon as he knows something.
I am getting 6 when it comes out.

FYI, there's a (much lengthier?) 828mk3 thread going on over in the DP forum:

you have no idea how pissed i am about this. I just bought the mk2 after christmas, i even called a motu sales rep and asked them if a mk3 was coming out in the near future, he lied to me and said as of right now, we have no plans for a mk3 release of the 828. That was the main reason i went out and got one.

update --

I just called GC and they said they will give me store credit, they also just called Motu, as to when they can ship me the new mk3.

Man i was telling my friend, watch i buy one and they release a mk3.

so pissed.
