i'm looking for freeware if possible or perhaps
someone can hook me up, 
i'll reciprocate.
i bought a motu 896 (8 channels) recently which came
bundled with audiodesk
audiodesk is crap, you cannot even open your audio
files without having the motu plugged in.
i will be getting another 8 channels and want to know
what most folks out there are using.
i dont want to spend a heap of money on software if i
can get something free/cheaper that does the same job,
ie allow approx 16 channels of audio to be recorded at
once.

i think logic express or logic light whatever it's
called only allow you 12 channels, is that correct?

thanks
shane

Thanks to all who responded to my post. While I won't go into great detail
here, the general consensus from the 10 plus responses that I received is
that this unit has many limitations, firmware that is buggy and some general
product quality issues. While hopefully many of these will be resolved in
the future, suffice to say that I'll be looking for an alternate option to
replace my D8. While the price is attractive, reliability and durability is
very much a concern and it seems that it would be (at this point anyway)
better to invest in something other than this unit.

Paul
