Hello everyone! After years of lurking and siphoning your knowhow to fix my studio problems, I've decided to register.

I wasn't sure where exactly to post this, as it's just a non-os specific question, but here goes:

After years of it sitting in my rack going unused (sigh, fantasy studio dreams...), I finally decided to try and incorporate my digital timepiece into the fray.

My question is one that we all must ask ourselves about the gear we have purchased:

Is it completely and utterly obsolete already? Did I waste my money?

All of the projects I've worked on in the last few years have been 23.976 frame rate, which wasn't even a format back when the DTP was manufactured and sold.

The DTP manual boasts pull down .01%, but I doubt it would work with a 24fps rate.

Any thoughts? Is it workable or should I just offload it?

Oh and thanks to all of you for the help over the years.

Make sure to check the MOTU website for updates, as it's possible they have increased its feature set to include more recent frame rates. I don't know, because I sold my unit a few years back.

As far as I know, it is NOT obsolete and is STILL the most full-featured clockable MIDI interface on the market. I sold mine because it was overkill for my needs. You could spend a lifetime discovering new features in this unit that you didn't know about before!

If you bought it a long time ago, you may need the $20 chip set to bring it up to spec.
