I like the features on the MOTU more...
true about the no mixer thing, but...Ive always just recorded my virus direct at line level anyway, into the RME, and it has worked fine.
heh. Im probably doin something wrong.
the MOTU has gain on the inputs as well, I believe?

In general though, the impression I get from here & places like the SOS forums is that all MOTU stuff can be fairly flakey on PC... on the other hand there are quite a few people on the Cakewalk/Sonar forums (obviously all PC based) who seem to be running them with no problems.
Anyway, sorry..... I haven't really helped at all, but I'd be really interested too if anyone had anything solid on this subject.

The worst part is the motherboard we got at work didn't even HAVE the option to turn of PCI post write, so fixing the problem would have required no less than a total software hack job. Out with that mobo, in with the new.
It's nearly as hard to find official information on their parallel port MIDI interface issue that has plagued them forEVER.
Rant over, point being don't ever trust MOTU when it comes to compatibility issues with PCs. But when you do the workarounds and get them to work, the general consensus (myself included) is that they are stable as fuck and sound amazing. Pro when it works, annoying when it doesn't.

However, I will say that their MIDI Timepiece is the bomb and I'll never use another kind of MIDI Interface.

EXCEPT I cant get windows to play through it (really only want media player so I can listen to MP3s) and stinkin wavelab plays back at like half speed, which logic tells me is due to the sample rate, but everything is set at 44.1
oh...to the cats that said they use one of these...I didnt get a PC manual with it...
is there any way to double the main outs to another pair of outs? I have a Behringer RTA and just want to send a second pair of outs to the RTA but not go _through_ it to my monitors...
