Unfortunately,something too good to be true just is that way. Having said that, there are still some very good deals on ebay from time to time of high quality MIDI/USB interfaces. I've had to "upgrade" my M-Audio 8 X 8 for a MOTU 128 (8 X
. The M-Audio didn't "like" the change to Vista 64 bit even with a new "correct" driver. Worked fine with Win XP. May be just my unit as I've heard others having no problems. I thought maybe my "problem" was, in part, due to the fact my organ computer "lives" 30 feet (downstairs) away from the console. (I use amplified USB cables). But, no. Bringing the 'puter up right next to the console, the M-Audio box wouldn't cooperate either. The MOTU has no problem with the 30 foot USB cable, go figure.
Rather than continuing to be annoyed all the time, I bit the bullet. The MOTU works flawlessly - for a price.
