I see that some of the larger MOTU boxes have -10/+4 line inputs, but a number of the smaller ones only accept line in via a preamp ...

I'll be working with my clients' computers and DAW systems with their interfaces already in place. There is among them quite a variety of USB A/D interfaces (and software). The use of...

kslight - A number of the studios in which I'll be working use MOTU interfaces. So the 16a can accept a +4 line level signal from a preamp, great, thanks. I'l have a look at that one. Much of the basic tracking has been done on these projects, so I won't need more than a couple of inputs at once. So...

The clients' interfaces seem to all have preamps and it also seems that the way to get in from my preamps is usualy t...
