  • Excellent for Archival Tape Transfers
Excellent, easy to use interface that worked immediately with my MacBook Pro and Logic Pro without need for any driver installation whatsoever. Just assign the interface as soon as Logic recognizes it and go. The knobs are very smooth, and extremely sensitive. It's a very low noise unit, but then I'm using it for analog tape to digital transfers so basically anything modern far exceeds the noise floor levels of analog tape by leaps and bounds. The only thing I wish is that the headphone amplifier had more power to drive DT-770 Pros with more staging ability, but then for the price it's totally adequate. Five-star product for ease of use, great front metering - makes incoming sources so easy to gain stage, clean low noise floor, construction, price and overall quality. Oh, and thank you Motu for including the required USB cable with the unit (I'm looking at you Cambridge Audio... tisk tisk). Anyway, well done Motu, well done. *Disclosure: I'm using this primarily as an archival tape transfer interface, NOT in a professional studio setting, although I'm positive it would work there as a simple interface for various purposes as well. ... show more

  • MOTU M2 - Awesome Performance for a TERRIFIC Price! (Quick delivery too, sometimes!!!)
Miracles abound: the MOTU M2 was delivered the next day (!) and not a moment too soon! The MOTU M2 is a bedrock sound module that enables amazing resolution audio for you PC recording station: My original gave up the ghost unexpectedly so we needed a replacement immediately, if not sooner! Software (and firmware update) are all available from the manufacturer's website (to maintain that you get the latest, greatest drivers and updates!) and it's easy as pie to set up and get running. It's USB-powered, and since it IS USB it is compatible to Mac and PC alike. The minimal size of the MOTU M2 means it doesn't eat up a lot of desk space (keep it off of the top of your PC if it has vents up there: the MOTU M2 is solid and will serve to block the air vents on top!) and it even comes with its own USB cable!!! I already loved the product even before I ordered it! Being able to get my replacement so soon was absolutely fantastic!! ... show more

  • I FIXED the sound only coming out of the left or right side
I almost returned this thing when I ran into an issue where apparently each channel only records lift or right, but not both. This wasn't the end of the world and easily fixed in post but I didn't want to deal with that unnecessary step every time. I googled and saw others asking but no one else came up with a good solution. Well here's the fix I did that worked. (This is for Windows only!!!) -Right Click Sound Icon (bottom right) -Select Sounds -Recording Tab -Set Default to "Loopback Mix" And that's it, you should be all set. If it doesn't fix immediately you might have to also disable the other options, but do 1 at a time to make sure you can still record. ----REVIEW---- I got this to record my mic for voiceovers. I use a Shure SM7B with a cloud lifter. This doesn't need a cloud lifter but I already had one from my previous setup so I decided to use it so it gives me more room for more gain because without the cloud lifter the gain was set all the way to full and it would barely peak. It didn't sound bad but with the cloud lifter I can set the gain more to the 60% full which gives me a lot of room to work with. I tested the mic with and without the cloud lifter, the cloud lifter doesn't hurt the quality at all, it sounds the same with or without but of course with the lifter the extra gain makes it a bit louder. Which sounds good with the SM7B. Maybe another mic would not benefit from this setup the same way. It's important to note that with the sound lifter you need the 48V powered on, without the sound lifter you do not with the SM7B. Once I figured out the fix to make it so the sound records both Left & Right side I have been very happy with the setup. I like the feel of it, it's made of aluminum and the the knobs are tight and feel quality (I saw another review complaining they were loose feeling), theirs must have been broken or something because mine feel very sturdy. I also really like the monitoring screen in the front. It just looks sorta retro but also modern at the same time. It really adds to the look on my desk. The only thing I don't like is that the XLR input is in the front. I hate the look of cables going out the front, you have this beautiful simplistic front fascia and then you stick your inputs there, I can't figure out why they'd do that. It was enough of an annoyance that I almost went with the Scarlett 2i2 4th gen. Because I liked how they had the inputs at the back. I like the meters of the Motu M2 more than those knob lights but not enough to sway me on its own. I really like how the 2i2 has the auto peak protection and air mode which was almost the reason why I ended up buying it instead of the M2. But ultimately the main reason why I chose the Motu M2 > the Scarlett 2i2 is the sound quality. At the end of the day, sound quality is all that matters. I watched a youtube video comparing the 2 and the sound clip of the M2 was much better than the 2i2. The M2 has more bass and a "follow through" when you speak. it sounds nice and is noticeably better. At the end of the day the Motu M2 has a simplistic design retro design that I love, I used 90 degree XLR input adapters to make the cable look better now that it connects torwards the back. I think it looks a little better than a cable just looping around. It's a fantastic sounding audio interface that's absolutely the best at it's price point. ... show more
