Re: WHAT SORTS OF FIREWIRE INTEFACES ARE PEOPLE USING THESE DAYS?

Hey Ted I'm curious are you running directly in to the MOTU and using  
amp sims and effects plug ins? or are you going stereo direct and  
using hardware effects and or amp simulators?
Before I would even recommend interfaces I'm curious why it sounds so  
lame to you and wonder if you would elaborate  in more specific  
detail.   Are you clipping your inputs, do you have anything acting as  
a buffer between your guitar and the interface, are  using any  
compression to smooth your transients?  does it sound harsh and or  
sterile? Even a higher end interface with better converters like the  
Apogee stuff can sound brittle if you are hitting it too hard. I've  
used a MOTU 2408 for several years now and its worked fine.  I've  
never been bothered by its sound or latency.
