I think a decent converter at 44.1 / 24 is perfectly acceptable and that going to 96 only adds little to that but eats quite a piece of my computer. But that is just me.Īnd as for 192kHz that is very overrated.
Good pres though, does not seem to fall in price the same way. I am not quite thinking about the longevity of the box then, but that every year there comes a few hundred new sound cards, getting cheaper and better all the time. Yamaha MC1204 (x10 pres) Apollo Unison Pres (x2) (610, 1073) Motu SSL Pres (x4) Slate. I owned that audio interface for about 3 hours, then I.12 posts if you had an 828 and upgraded to a mkII how did it go or if youve had either of them for. Personally I think the 828mkII is a better choice, because I sort of like to think that my mic pres will survive longer than any computer device. I bought a Firewire 410 almost 8 months ago, very shortly after they were released. its hard to believe that this thing costs no more than the 828 did when it came out. Although it worked great, the mkII is truly desktop music at its best when combined with a powerbook. My experience with the 828mkII on various computers has been without problems so maybe I have been lucky.Īs for which to choose, well, I can not guide you. I sold my 828 and feared I would miss it. Fewer problems reported with the 896HD may simply be because there are fewer units out there. I also guess that it would not make much difference if you use the 828mkII or the 896HD from that point of view. Remember also that the older 828 was one of the very first, if not the first, widespread firewire card.
My guess is that the Motu is not much worse than the rest of the cards out there, only that it is more common in the budget camp that probably has budget computers.
