Yes I did and MOTU was definatly one of the contenders but price wise here in Europe Focusrite gave more bang for the buck... The other serious contender were RME, but at that time they were basically 100% Windows focused and did all Mac drivers as a second thought. Brilliant hardware but there were a lot of issues were people had to wait for updates... (and expensive also)
This have changed these days and now we also have UA and Apogee as great choices!
I still think Focusrite has the better price/value ratio AND a great Mac support.
Thanks - that is great feedback. Agree that RME - still seems more WIN based, and Audio tools seems quit old. It does seem that Focusrite gives more hardware inputs for similar budget (see my response to MM). But Lightbox warned against limitation of their mix/routing software "Control".
Any experience on that ?
