Meet the MOTU 828mk3 Hybrid. This versatile interface offers both FireWire and USB connections, giving you the flexibility to connect to the computers you want.

You can feel confident knowing you have the connectivity that will work anywhere, plus a wealth of I/O, including two preamps, to tackle any recording situation!MOTU 828mk3 Hybrid FireWire and USB Audio Interface at a Glance:
Incredible sound quality and exceptional routing capabilities One reason the MOTU 828 series has been so popular and well loved is the fact that these interfaces sound incredible, while remaining extraordinarily versatile. You can record up to 24-bit/192khz-quality audio, and the MOTU 828mk3 Hybrid offers combo inputs, 1/4" inputs, and ADAT banks. You can also use the MOTU 828mk3 as a standalone mixer, using the onboard DSP to route signals the way you please. In fact, you even get built-in EQ, compression, and reverb effects that are powered by DSP. That way, you can give the artist a lush headphone mix, without tapping into any of your computer's CPU power you need for recording. You can also record those effects, so it's like having top-notch plug-ins without the processor strain! All of the DSP mixing and effects are controlled by the CueMix FX software that's included with the MOTU 828mk3 Hybrid. Control CueMix with your iPad MOTU's CueMix FX software, the mixing software that drives the powerful routing of the 828mk3, can be controlled from your iPad. MOTU created CueMix templates for the TouchOSC controller app, giving you complete control over your 828mk3's mixing and effects processing over a Wi-Fi network. This means that when you're recording in your studio, you don't need to keep going back to your computer to adjust gain levels, change monitoring effects, or virtually anything else you rely on CueMix for. When what you want is a great-sounding interface that's also reliable, you can count on MOTU every time. And when what you want is maximum versatility, thanks to a decked-out array of I/O, you'll want to grab the MOTU 828mk3 Hybrid! MOTU 828mk3 Hybrid FireWire and USB Audio Interface Features:

Jordan, Marquette, MI Reviewsbased on 11 reviewsperfect for live computer musicians.
by Megaton Leviathan from Portland OR
i am in a two piece audio visual project we use ableton live and route out tracks to front of house, our back line pa and in ear monitors(for click track and vocals). i have gone through a few inter... read more [+]faces, two presonus units, and recently a focusrite pro 40. this thing sounds great and the routing possibilities seem endless. it has 2 main outputs, headphone outputs, 8 analog outs etc... i can rout out my ableton live tracks to the cu-mix by running a adat optical cable from the outs to the ins. so we can do our back-line pa and in ear mixes in cu mix. i have yet to play with the ipad app- but im looking forward to it. cu mix=its midi mappable, these guys at motu are thinking. there are enough ins that we mic our own bass, guitar and ghost guitar, and run it to the front of house, track it or run it in our in ear mix. i have yet to play with the on board effects, but if the eq's and compressors are as good as i think they are, we can do away with a 6 space rack full of hardware. i was for certain we would have to integrate another unit for all the ins and outs we need, but to my surprise- this does all we need and promises more. close [-]

by Danny Solomon from Dublin, NH USA
There are not many choices for a rackmount interface that uses USB. I needed USB for my Macbook Air which doesn't have firewire. I also needed the unit to be rackmountable for giging, but the 828 is ... read more [+]so superior, that i immediately bought a second one for permanent installation in my studio. Super clean analog in and out, with typical MOTU completely flexible internal routing between all inputs and outputs. You can even assign any output pair to be controlled by the front panel volume knob, which is great for live use. Another big feature for me was word clock. I had clocking issues with cheaper interfaces that didn't have word clock, but of course I've had no clocking issues using word clock off my clock distribution unit. It's expensive compared to many other USB interfaces, but you definitely get what you pay for. close [-]
July 18, 2012 Music Background: Musician, Recording/mixing/live sound engineer, studio owner, producer The MOTU 828mk3 Hybrid GREAT PIECE OF HARDWARE!!!
by Edward Moon from NW Lower Penninsula, Michigan
After I put it into Pro Tools 9.03, it didn't want to record from the mike inputs; however, after talking one time (by e-mail) with a SweetWater service tech... The problem was fixed. (It was mostly m... read more [+]y fault {I was the dummy!}). I have, since, used the Microphone and Line inputs with no difficulty. I specifically like the built in mixer and effects (EQ and reverb). I have not used the compressor/limiter yet, but, I have set them up in a test project and they seem to be able to do the job. NET RESULT: I would recommend this unit, and SweetWater to my friends. close [-]

Works just as expected. I had good luck with the prior two versions of the 828, so decided to give this one a try. I'm not disappointed. I bought two of these to support all the inputs I need.

I'd like it more if it had a few more inputs (who wouldn't) and if the panel were a bit easier to figure out (but, it's pretty good considering the limted real estate available). close [-]
