ReviewsAmazing, especially for the price
by David Sadd from Charleston, SC
This thing rocks.June 8, 2008 Music Background: Pro Musician, Worship Leader, Recording Engeineer It's not perfect, but there is nothing near the price which can compete with it. I have been using several of these (and 896HDs) for years and I am always pleased. I h... read more [+]ave done recordings live on location or used it for overdubs and mixing in the studio. The pre-amps are of good quality and stay quiet unless you are really pushing them. Especially with a really quiet mic like the Shure KSM44, you will get great results. User interface is good, but will take a bit of practice to master (mostly you don't need to use it much since it's all in software on the computer). I have never actually tried it on bus power, but that's cool. When using it as a MIDI interface, there is no compromise to the audio (many interfaces have audible clicks and distortion when using MIDI and audio through the same interface). I HIGHLY recommend getting a firewire card even if your desktop has built in firewire. You will find that everything gets quieter and more detailed. It's not subtle. Get one, you'll love it. When it's time to grow, get a single channel pre-amp to augment (I have had great success with the Presonus Eureka). And, don't forget good cables. close [-] "EXTRAORDINARY RESULTS FOR PORTABILITY OR STUDIO."

Again, at the time I bought my Digi didn't have a word clock in, so the 002 wasn't going to do it for me. The 003 has one so, it would be down to this and the 003. I'd still choose the MOTU because of the better I/O and I like DP better, but that is just preference. You will be happy with your purchase, but for serious studio work add the word clock. close [-]

Using just the laptop and the Traveler allows me to plug my guitar and everything else into one outlet, so no ground loops to deal with. (And it IS powered only by the laptop using a 2006 Powerbook) The audio quality is superb and using this in conjunction with an excellent DI box, I have some of the most delicious electric guitar tracks I could ever have imagined. The interface is a little quirky when you are just using the front panel. close [-]
