I have to redo my patch bay setup now though but that is not the end of the world. The one I got is truly in like new shape and if it continues to work like it does for a while I think i'll be very happy with it. The most annoying part probably is honestly just that it doesn't have inserts on every channel. As it is, I don't think i've ever recorded more than 8 channels at once.

If i end up needing to record more channels in at once I can deal with it when it comes to that. I don't anticipate myself trying to chase down mLAN expanders. I always have a pitch shifter on my microphone and having a decent one built into the mixer i can use, access, and edit without a computer hooked up is killer and frees up my outboard effects. It is really nice having the compressor and effects options on each channel. I have an old style mini mac running 10.66 that's on recording duty, it used to be firewire'd to my Motu 828, I haven't got deep into the mLAN setup but i guess i must be lucky I had a suitable machine ready because setup was not bad? I did a quick test recording and was very happy with the sound quality. I have other hardware already that's 32 bit only so I have a machine ready for that. Software wise, I have not tried the Windows setup yet. It lacks ADAT capability despite being 8 channel (I don't know wtf) but is SPDIF enabled so i will probably look into using that in a clever way. I would say it's on par with but has a slightly different character than the UMC1820 i had which i have been thinking about trying to get another one and they might be nice to use together (my last one i got used from an eBay store and the usb was totally busted, had to return it) It also beats the hell out of the mixer I was using in terms of clarity and noise levels so i'm very happy there. I guess i will just talk about my thoughts about using the 01x / mLAN gear as we approach 2018 and if anyone else wants to talk about mLAN / 01 shit here.įirst of all the sound is still very good by current standards. I ended up doing the trade a couple hours after making my post.
