When MOTU puts pres from a console (like Yamaha did with DMP2000 - i88x) into the next iteration of the 828 or its ilk, I'll consider looking back at the brand. Or, you know, when they stop offering a machine worth $600 for $1200 or more. MOTU's markup is ridickulous, like RME's markup of the Fireface. These bitches make BANK.  |
exactly. and fwiw, yamaha/apple are committed to mlan for the foreseeable future...
as if you couldn't tell, i'm impressed with the i88x. it sounds/functions great and has some features i wish the fireface had (like inserts, higher gain pres and an actual volume control knob!).
yamaha was pretty shrewd to lower prices - at $399, it's a no-brainer. and, now that mlan is stable, they stand to gain a larger market share for their mlan products.
