Some of the MOTU products are expandable like the 828s. I believe I read
some where, that another companies FW interfaces are expandable???

RME Fireface for one - it has a second FW400 port for running multiple units
in parallel (FW800 connection to the PC/Mac side required).
From the ad blurbs it says the dsp is available in Cubase - which could be
simply like other firewire dsp boxes (Powercore, Duende, etc) that give you
VST access to onboard dsp plugins. That part could be tied to Cubase, but
though it doesn't say so, so my guess is the dsp is most likely VST, and the
audio is ASIO, so any VST/ASIO app should be able to use it.
I wouldn't go by a product demonstration as the final word. Wait until the
units hit the streets and/or more info shows up on it.
I also wouldn't sell your PCI/PCIe gear for a firewire solution... DJ. ;-)

Sounded like marketing double talk. Zero and no latency are the same
thing, right? I just want to know if/how they are achieving it. We'll
find out eventually.
Either way it looks like a very nice interface with a lot of features.
If they bring it in at a reasonable price, it should be a winner.

So, If I had 2 or 3 Fireface 800, they could run in paralle and Cubase or
Nuendo, Logic would see the 3 units ?

Thanks Dedric , you are right, you can chain 3 Fireface's. And James you are
right as well. Motu uses their proprieary Firewire protocol with their interfaces..So,
yes you can chain up to 4 units.

Yes - you should see a list of ASIO ports for all three units with 2-3x the
I/O.

The only way I see this happening is for Cubase to control DSP onboard of
each unit, probably via mLAN if I were guessing. In this way there is no tax
on the host CPU, and the software becomes nothing more than a remote.

"That part could be tied to Cubase, but
though it doesn't say so, so my guess is the dsp is most likely VST, and
the audio is ASIO, so any VST/ASIO app should be able to use it."
Yes, any vst/asio can use the dsp via it's separate mixer(ala total mix and
the like). However, In Cubase, it has a direct route into Cubase's mixer
adn smoothly integrating with COntrol Room..Bypassing the the units own separate
mixer.
So, lets see, we have Motu's new unit with onboard dso, TC's units with dsp,
M-audio's new unit, EMU and now Yammy. Is this a trend? Will these type of
units get more powerful DSPs? We'll have to wait and see. But, these kinds
of units does solve a lot a common DAW problems.
BTW: Yammys plugins (REV-X and their Vinatge Comps and EQS)found on the DM-2000
MII and their Motif XS keyboards are really top notch. So, I guess these
will be trickling downward into the VST realm. Nice..

Do these other units access the dsp within the host mixer for native mixing,
or just controlled by the host mixer for use in the dsp mixer if you either
mix there after mixing natively, or for monitor feeds, etc (a la the Yammy
DSP2416 from a few years ago - cool in a way, but a big pain to use since
you either mixed natively, or on the DSP2416).
We've been wanting Fairlight to release their CC-1 card for general VST use
and access from any host, but of course it's only developed for Fairlight
consoles, so no really joy there for other apps.

I believe the MOTU 828mk3 and the MOTU 896HD use standard FireWire ports
and are expandable.
Anyways, it will be interesting to see how the Steinberg stuff is. If there
claim of no latency is true, that would be great. The Yamaha mic pres are
vary good, IMO. I have a feeling the Steinberg stuff is going to be expensive
though.
All the new stuff that is coming out is great, but I feel like a dog that
is chasing my tail sometimes. I'm cutting back and selling off. I'd like
to get off the money tread mill for a while. I have Paris and a few other
systems that do what I need. I think I'm going to sit tight for the rest
of this year to see where it's all going.
Because of the low cost, I'm considering the Alesis Master control. It won't
be out for a while and I want to hear some user reviews and hear how it sounds
before I buy. The same for the new Presonus studio stuff. The StudioLive
mixer and the Monitor Station both look promising. If the Steinberg stuff
is reasonably priced and will work well with other software I may go that
way. For now I'm cutting back.

I've never even used the Cubase CR function...not even once, but I can't see
any reason you couldn't use a digitally interfaced outboard reverb unit
during tracking. Wouldn't this be possible? When I ping my digitally
interfaced Quantec or PCM-91, I get something less than 0.25ms. As far as
printing compression and EQ,.......errrrr.........I sorta' thought analog
processors chained in series could accomplish this, if need be......and if I
need advice on presets (or ****morphing or whateverTF they are calling
presets these days), I can always ask here.

Aww Yes.. The all Powerful CC-1 form Fairlight. It would seem that those guys
at Fairlight have hit a snag of sorts..No new developemnt on such promising
technology.

I agree. The products their putting out for this super-duper card is pitiful
at best. But, they think they have a market for it. Oh well. Can we say NED(Synclavier)..

True.. But, with CR, a person does not have to have a separate fold-back/talk
back setup. As well as easliy setting up different monitor mixes With fx
all within the app.

Same here James. I'm sitting standig pat. The PC's and Macs I have are more
than doing the job.
I too want to see where all of this is going before forking over good money
into half-baked, half-supported DAW inititives.
I am remineded of an Old O'Jays song..'Got to Give the People, Give the People
want...." :)

I've actually got one of the Steinberg folks responding to questions online
which is a rarity on the Cubase.net forum.
I believe it is probably this fellow.
http://www.steinberg.net/
Here's the link to a thread I started yesterday, similar to shat I posted
here:
http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?p=712708#712708
If we're nice to him, we might be able to keep him engaged in conversation
and we might learn something useful......before the hoardes of assholes on
that forum slag him to the point where he bails.
