>The RME stuff isn't exactly built like tanks.......fairly thin steel build, >almost aluminum......tin can like...... Huh? As an owner of both an RME Digiface and a MOTU 2408, I can tell you that this couldn't be farther from the truth. The RME stuff is solidly built, well designed and performs perfectly. In addition, I think RME writes far better ASIO drivers . . .and RME's TotalMix makes Motu's CueMix look like a total joke. best, Jon -- config-- Apple G4 Dual 800, 1.5 gig of ram, Mac OS 9.2.2, RME Hammerfall DSP/ Digiface, MOTU 2408, MOTU MTP AV (USB), Apogee WC Master, Spirit Digital 328 (digital mixer/controller), ATI Radeon AGP, ATI Rage128 (second monitor).

I am not justifying one over the other, if anything, I am intrigued by the DSP handling of the RME stuff, the ADI series boxes I have held had a very thin guage steel build, and the design wasn't terribly flattering, but what matters is functionality, and it seems from yours and everyone elses comments, that RME makes great gear. The ADI box I held had a build quality similar to the effects processors and filters , made by Music and More, left me feeling that they were cheap. My 2 cents.....

Do you manage to make your RME working together with your Motu 2048 with Logic Audio ?

So I bought a Macintosh.

>Do you manage to make your RME working together with your Motu 2048 with >Logic Audio ? I think it's not possible because you can only use one ASIO driver at a time Please correct me if I'm wrong
