Re: choosing between these soundcards for laptop

["L.Angulo" <labaloops@yahoo.com>]

yes you are right,but i use the soundcard in the aux send of the mixer and 
dont use its preamps so i just use its stereo outs,i use the mackie 
because live is a lot more intuitive getting my hands on a board accessing 
their eqs aux sends etc. than clicking with a mouse or scrolling a digital 
wheel just to turn levels down, however yes the motu seems ideal for any 
situation specially playing Y2K looping festivals;-)in worst case you can 
still use it as a stand alone and have the FX etc.so look out you might 
see me with one at the festivals!
the lack of midi in the Apogee and no Windwos support hast just killed it 
for me!
cheers
