Rock solid transport in DAW no latency

I bought this Audio interface because my old soundcard started giving off White noise, the MOTU MK3 is real quiet and when used with my DAW, gives Latency free rock solid transport its a pleasure to use iam so glad I upgraded to this interface. The phantom power for the mic's gives off feedback when iam in echo mode when in my DAW. Mind you I think this is a DAW issue more than a interface issue my DAW responds differently to different manufacture interfaces I've noticed in the past, so I can't be sure if the same issue iam getting occurs in other DAW's. The sound quality an ease off use of THE MOTU MK3 is unsurpassed, its compact and punchy very well throughout and easy to use, the CUEMIX Onboard DSP software is great for monitoring your mix or altering your input output mix. For the price the MOTU MK3 is a worthy Contender, so much packed into one box and as its, firewire and usb compatible you won't be disappointed.

It works.

Does everything a half rack Audio Interface should do. Great features, many of which I rarely use, but if I needed them, they're there! Great EQ controllers, Cuemix doesn't fuss with FL Studio.

Update: After owning it for 4 years and only trying other devices to see what's out there. in my setup I get a real time round trip performance delay of 3-5ms on average. This is a great little device and I don't see myself downgrading to anything else until maybe thunderbolt becomes standard or something. I cannot praise this enough! 48kh for normal performance, 192 when recording unique things for future playback, With oodles of built in features for audio forensics and diagnostics. its a hard little gem to pass up. I beleive its street price is 550 US, so its not too hard on the pockets for an 8 (2 neutrik, one in front one in back) in 8 out (includes master) and incredibly well put together internall mapping. As a stand alone it shines and with a computer controlling it via USB/Midi you've got a interface worth its weight in gold. I've only seen it crash once and that was because I kept booting my DAW during Beta testing for sync tests. Works on win 7 without issue.

A must have

Strong headphone and monitor outputs... 14 Ins and 14 outs.. 10 of each or 1/4" line level (maybe one side was 8.. don't hate on me for being too lazy to move over 3 feet and look at the back)... and they are DC coupled outputs.. fun having Reaktor or Oscillot play nice with my Kilpatrick Phenol... If you use a good bit of hardware.. get this... it was cheap too. $500.. Also can use this as a DJ interface (all those outputs.. 4 decks no issue.. come on people.. this techno mixing.. use the technology..

Best for a home studio setup on a midrange budget!

for the amount of outputs and inputs and versatility. I use the mk3 for recording bands to doing live analog fx recording with computer vsts going in and out through a daws mixer. Sound cards a must for any serious home studio work and the MK3 does it all.

Driver issues

Great interface, but the drivers give me some trouble on the pc.

Powerful fully featured interface

This is a great little workhorse, tons of inputs and small size.

Good

Good dsp and effect!

Love it

Good built quality and also an amazing audio quality.
