The Cue Mix software can be pretty invisible if you are working with your DAW, but it adds some really nice features (that you can add in the background without using DAW resources) such as EQ, Reverb, Compression. Of course, any of the MOTU models with optical will do this, so the 828x is brilliantly expandable. Now, this is brilliant! Basically the MOTU Cue Mix software will see the satellite as an extra 8 ADAT inputs on optical, and will offer all the tasty trimmings of said software to my old hardware. It can, with the addition of a £3 optical cable, be used as a satellite to the 828x, giving me another 8 channels :) ![]() Talking of expansion, I was thrilled to realise that my old trusty 896HD does not have to go to the dump or eBay. To be honest, if I was using this in a studio situation (vocals, guitars drums etc.) I would probably add a pre-amp expander you'd need more physical inputs anyway. Note I really only use the line inputs for recording modular synths and drum machines, so I can't really comment on the pre's on the model, as I have yet to plug a microphone in.
