Ive been looking at the interfaces mentioned but I am still wondering how the motu 8 pre compares to them. It has got ADAT and 8 XLR/Jack inputs with individual phantom power switches. It also has midi in out etc. I think the 8 pre is 96kHz whereas some interfaces seem to be 192kHz, I don't know if this makes a lot of difference to sound quality, is so, is the difference audible to most people.
I don't think it has any built in effects such as reverb but I suppose you could apply effects like that with the sonar 6 LE program, which I think is called a daw. I'm still trying to get use to all the terminology.
I'm a little bit confused about midi instruments such as my drums and keyboard. Both have midi in/out din sockets can these be connected together then on into the interface. Do I need to use the midi out from the interface back to the keyboard or drums. Terminal 3 mentioned a midi to usb converter, but If i'm using windows XP with sonar 6 LE am I right in thinking that I can only record from either the main interface or the midi/usb port but not both simultaniously. Hopfully you all follow what I'm trying to explain.
There's quite a few queries bundled in this post, everyones input is appreciated, others on the same path as me will probably benifit by reading your replies.
