In DP to rout to an external reverb and delay unit connected via 2408, now instead of using different layers in Cuemix for different mix outputs, which becomes complicated to handle when using more number of outputs and outboard effects during a recording session, Can MOTU design a simple single layout Cuemix matrix with number of Aux, mirroring atleast the First few aux in DP including control and assignment of the aux to output's, so that hereafter we will switch to direct hardware play through in DP for a low latency monitoring and still have the external efx routing and levels copied to Cuemix for artists feedback. Secondly I use only one 2408 for my tracking and mixing purpose on my Pci424 and use aux

That said a 64 bit audio engine is the preference of all motu users Can MOTU use better Dithering Internally, or Design a better Audio engine with higher fidelity.

I didn't want to compare DP to any software what I meant is, are the other softwares using core audio in a better way, Can't MOTU have there own MAS drivers instead of routing audio through Core Audio, but still have support for AU plugins. Now I follow this workflow for all my projects and am happy with the results, I am using less compression and eq's with slightly improved separation between instruments.

Second software I used to compare with same audio materials is a demo version of sonic studio sound blade which I found was best to my ears in audio playback quality with good HF detail, wide and natural separation, tighter but clearer, detailed and deeper low endĭP had sound quality nearer to sound blade, but with lesser detail, lesser separation and not as wide but with a nasal tendency and a brittle higher mid freq., but still not rounded as in logic īut instead of playing back directly from 24 bit setting, I used 32 bit float and then dithered it to 24 bit with Izotope ozone4 set to Mbit+ on my master fader, now I heard a lot of differences in play back qualityįirst the nasal quality was noticeably lesser, bass was deeper and punchy, the image was both more warmer and wider than before, clearer in mid freq. Logic to had good bass but kind of rounded off HF, slightly better separation of instruments and warmer sound in comparison to DP while mixing
I am not fully aware of technical details but when I tested various Audio materials through different softwares in the same machine, this was only to find how different softwares sounded through Care Audio not to criticize any software and is just my limited knowledge opinion, I found In OS9 Dp used MAS drivers which to my understanding may have connected audio directly from my old Pci324 to DP, but now In OSX audio makes a trip through the Core Audio and then to the software. I have been using Dp from ver 2.7 till date with 2408 mk3 & Pci424 in my DualG5 2.5 machine, I use it mainly for recording and mixing rather than MIDI. I have serious suggestions about improving audio quality and mixing in dp. I am a recording engineer based in India, I largely work with motu audio interface and DP as I find the software and hardware more user friendly.
