Mike, What makes you think MOTU gives a *** about accessibility? Do you know something or someone I don't?

However you can use input monitoring in Sonar, and use all of your mike inputs on the 8 pre, and record your drums with no problems. I currently have two of them and I love the unit is it works very with Windows vista, and the quality of sound is fantastic despite the in accessible control panel software, which you can use with a control surface if you need to use the dirrect monitoring. Despite the inaccessible control panel software the card is definatly worth it, and i'm sure the folk at Motu are working on making the panel accessible. ----- Original Message ----- From: Roger <mailto:rogerbaccus@xxxxxxxxx> Baccus To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, December 19, 2008 6:38 AM Subject: [ddots-l] MOTU 8PRE, Anyone? I want to record the Hammond B-3 and drums, using several mics on separate tracks. Is the 8PRE the way to go? Any advice is appreciated.
