Whats up with MOTU?

[KarlHoffmann]

no, in my limited exp. with them, i've never received any replys either.

what interface do you have? i had the same problem with a MTP usb when i was running W98 / ME. it finally installed but i don't remember how ( still, it was prone to **** up) now, with XP, it installed and runs like a dream...

Here's a UK thing.

I just installed a whole bunch of stuff at a music college. The PCI card for the 2408 would just not get along with the G5.

I angrily phoned up MOTU.

They were incredibly helpful, talked to me for ages, didn't treat me like an idiot, fiddled with the very card I had sent them back while they tinkered with it over the phone, and then they express delivered me a replacement even though they couldn't find anything wrong with the one I sent back.

This is contrary to all other rumours I have heard about MOTU support. In the UK at least they seem to be doing something right.

Exactly my experience of Motu Uk and USA. The guys at Musictrack are great but I emailed Motu Usa a question about a demonstratable and quite well known issue and they point blank denied it. Which is a shame as for the money they actually make goood gear. They need to be a bit more responsive ( and honest ) to the end user.

I rolled my eyes the first time I saw some idiot post that people should buy MOTU instead of digi because of digi's bad tech support.

I've actually had somewhat better luck with MOTU's tech support than Digi's. Digi somehow couldn't get my address correct when shipping some items my way.

Underwhelmed by both of them frankly.

It's unfortunate that we don't all get to deal with Musictrack in the UK. They are one of the better distributors out there. Here in Australia we are blessed with one of the worst there is, and MOTU as a product is all the worse for it.
