Feature:
Onboard DSP is what made me take a serious look at this product. No need to route external hardward such as reverbs for monitoring and a compressor/limiter in my signal chain. Just hook it up and use the software to do all your signal processing. Plus the onboard DSP doesn't eat up any computer RAM!
The front panel knobs are a bit tricky to work with, but I hardly use them since I control everything from the software.
The Cuemix FX mixer takes a few to learn, but once you've got a hang of it, it's awesome.
Plenty of ins and outs for such a compact unit.
Quality:
Built like a tank. Very mobile, but you can rackmount it, which is nice. Product works great for me!
Value:
When you look at what you're getting and what you won't need (like reverbs and signal processors) you're getting a steal.
Desirability:
Just a practical addition, doesn't make me feel any different.
Sound:
Previous reviewer stated that you need a TI chipset and they're right. But that goes for any firewire interface. With all the right connections this is the 'go to' interface for the home studio. The preamps are clear and the onboard dsp is brilliant.
Ease of Use:
Like I said previously the front panel knobs are a bit cumbersome to deal with, but if you understand how to use the software, you won't even have to fiddle with the knobs, except to turn it on.
Support:
Website is straightforward. Haven't had to deal with customer service.
Overall:
This is my first MOTU product and I am extremely satisfied. I would buy another MOTU product if this one decided to quit, but I know that it won't!

Feature:
bal/unbal line inputs up to 192 khz,
standalone mix
DAW independent midi interface w/ zero latency
small footprint
Quality:
superb construction and visual engineering,
Value:
for the quality of build, performance, transparancy, digital controlled rotaries, compactness, the price is reasonable, but who wouldn't want to pay less. You get what you pay for and this is no exception. Remarkable engineering comes at a price.
Desirability:
Sure I wouldn't mind another
Sound:
pristine, good built in eq and compression
Ease of Use:
logic complexity depends on user experience with module programming.
unit has exceptional work flow applicability
Support:
traditionally MOTU support excells
Overall:
The ultralite is the closest to my budget and what I feltwas important for a reasonable interface: 24/192, bal/unbal/ i/o, tight clock synch, at least 6x6, midi i/o, headphone, vista compatible, great bundle of mix and dsp apps. 2006 and 2007 best interface awards. Its a bit pricey but the quality and versatility is without compromise.
