VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature: Not all music software works well with this unit using a PC/Windows. I can't "slave" my recording software with my Triton while using this unit. I can slave my software using other Midi Ports such as the one on the Delta 1010 interface. SoundDiver doesn't work at all as well as other apllications. It crashes my system everytime I try to use most of my "midi" software. I tested my system with a Midisport Interface and I experienced absolutely no problems whatsoever.The 8x8 patchbay works well as a stand-alone unit. But navigating thru the front panel screens is a headache. Quality: The product absolutely did NOT live up to my expectations. Being a "MOTU" product, I expected and lot more than what I got. Value: This product may work a lot better in the Mac platform but I would not recommend this unit with a Windows PC at all. I could have gotten a better unit for my system for a much cheaper price! Manufacturer Support: I tried to contact MOTU via e-mail back in NOVEMBER and I have yet to hear from them and I'VE tried calling them but with NO success. The Wow Factor: I'm looking to trade this unit in for something else SOON! Overall: I will dump this unit as soon as possible.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: Perfect signal sent, always. Feature: More features than any other MIDI I/O. Quality: Uh...it's MOTU. I can only assume it will last forever. Hard metal casing, very thick rack ears. Knobs are only the aspect whch doesn't feel rock solid but hey, they're knobs. Value: It's expensive but it should be. Packs more punch than any other. Manufacturer Support: Don't know yet, never needed it. The Wow Factor: Well I have one so I guess that counts for something. Overall: Overall I am very happy and this is a piece of gear I will not outgrow anytime soon. I just went ahead and got the best so I wouldn't have to upgrade yet again in the near future. It is 100% solid. Oh and by the way, I agree with earlier post about the Windows people slamming the product on every level. Motu has always been a Mac company and only recently offered Windows support. Please, stop whining and go get a computer virus or something. :)

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

3. You'll get your gear fast

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

4. We make returns super easy

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
