MOTU Ultralite mk4

No technical problems at all with the installation, or drivers. On the Sonar forum site it's been suggested that this interface will work it's best using a TI chipset firewire interface. I have no problems so far. I'm using it now in Sonar 8.5, through firewire (motherboard VIA chipset).Within Sonar each of the mono inputs (or combined as a stereo input), can be assigned it's own track. That's 8 mono or 4 stereo tracks that can be recorded at once. So no more line in, single stereo input transfers for any previous SB owners. The sound quality can be awesome, but my computer is getting a bit old (XP SP3, Duo 2.4 gig, 2gig Corsair XMS, Infinity MB) and, the ultra high sample rates are probably not very realistic (176400, 192000) for myself, through Sonar with multiple tracks and plugins. But 96000 is achievable, with 40 audio and 13 MIDI tracks, using about 10 VSTs, (total round trip latency of 9.8 milliseconds, using 256 samples).My previous interface was a Sound Blaster Live, so the available options and technical details can be a little bit daunting. What I have figured out so far, is that it has an assignable return. This takes the place of the "What You Hear" function, on a SB card. The onboard hardware options are easily turned on and off, like the dynamics and EQ sections. So yeah I may not know how to fine tune each and every parameter, most of this can be done internally in a DAW.The advantage is it's there for when it will matter to learn these functions in detail and take a huge load off my system, using the external enhancements for compression reverb etc. instead of VSTs. Right now it's not a critical issue to myself and I have yet to actually study the manual.The included CueMix software layout is a little clunky (and what was the reason it can't be maximized to show one more track without scrolling and separate enhancement windows?? ).But not prohibitively so and has been rock solid on my system.I'm really satisfied with this purchase and it has improved the quality and consistency of my home recordings. For the first time what I hear in the software at 96000 using mixes at about 80 megabytes in size, is what I hear on a final conversion to a 256kbit MP3, total 6.62 megabytes. The capabilities and detail adjustments are available for when I care to learn to use them and in no way obstructive, if I choose not too.

Nice product, Dont Hesitate!!

Excellent buy. Thanks
