How does the MOTU seem so far - and are you planning to do all your mixing in the box now? I’m on the lookout for more audio inputs because I keep accidentally ruining my two track recordings in a way that would be easily fixed if I recorded things separately.

Which MOTU did you get?

I’m still happy with my Ultralite Mk3 hybrid…

Sometimes I think I’m more into trying to make the perfect little room for me and my stuff than to make music with it. But this little cute tilted shelf might help me get there eventually.

Well, I’ve only gotten about an hour of use in so far, but I’m very happy. I was usually just recording one instrument at a time and mixing in the box anyway, so I doubt I’ll miss the mixer that much, and the possibility of actually multitracking is exciting, if not a common use case.

In actual fact, I bought a NanoKontrol Studio a few months ago and it has become a surprisingly key part of my gear collection—so far I have done more MIDI fader-riding than I ever did mixer-fader riding. Mostly the mixer ended up being useful for 1) I don’t want to plug and unplug my gear all the time and 2) I’m playing with someone else and I wanna be able to hear us both. This is loads better for 1) (because I don’t have to turn up an Aux Send knob to record / only record the whole master mix) and I still have plenty of room for 2).

Plus also my previous interface was cheap enough that it would start clipping randomly, but let me not get into that…

@eblomquist I got the mk4! I figured the differences seemed to mostly not be of issue to me? Everyone here and IRL I had spoken to had high praise for the Ultralite series and MOTU in general!

I’ve heard great things about the Mark4, but I’ve been happy with the 3 so haven’t been motivated to upgrade…

I understand the converters in the 4 are even better…

Enjoy!

I recommend to anyone who is facing a wall with their setup to put some kind of print, or in this case a tapestry, up if you haven’t already. It just felt so much better as soon as I put it up. Feng shui matters so much to me!

Also trying out a new signal / midi flow. Feels so good to move things around! :blush:

I’m still happy with my Ultralite mk3 hybrid too, hope it’s going to serve me well at least a couple more years.

I recommend re-reading Trent’s document too. The way he talks about the circuits is important.

Setup from my album release show tonight. I used the same setup as I did to record the album, and played a 40 minute improvised set.

They’re from a Swedish company called Elfa, but I guess you can get their stuff worldwide. This is from their product line called “Sparring”.
