I checked some motu product prices; They're very expensive for me,
alas. I'm stuck with a scarlett 8i6 which is not accessible at all.<br>

<blockquote type="cite"><span>Yeah, the hardware is
accessible, however, you still need the software for a few
things, like changing clock, sample rate, buffer size,
headphone routing, etc. The Audio Express is one of those
interfaces you can't override the asio block size with
Reaper as you can with most. Fortunately, these things are
all accessible in the MOTU Audio Console, the basic
control panel for the device, though the MOTU Cue-Mix FX
software is not. With the Audio Express, the only things
I've not really been able to do are invert the phase of
channels, and making channel pairs link their volume
controls, neither of which are a big deal to me,
personally.</span><br>

<blockquote type="cite"><span>The MOTU MicroBook 2, which is a
smaller interface based on the same idea, however, is more
of a challenge, as it has far less hardware controls than
the Audio Express. For example, the AE can be used as a
small 4x4 (technically 4x6, I suppose,) stand-alone mixer
away from a computer. Thus, you can route any input to any
output all from the front panel, as well as creating
submixes for each output within the hardware itself. The
only two controls on the MicroBook 2 are input gain
(controls either mic or line input, depending on which is
selected, also toggles phantom power for the single XLR
input,) and another knob that controls either the main or
headphone out, depending on which has been toggled. If you
want to do any routing, you have to use the inaccessible
Cue-Mix FX.</span><br>

</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>For example, by default, with
the MicroBook 2, the headphone out is it's own mix and
routable output, meaning if you route something to main,
it doesn't come across the headphone out. Maybe this is
fine if you want two discrete mixes, but in a simple
situation where you just want to plug in and go, it's
annoying, since you have to change your DAW's output
routing. There is an easy (if you can see) way to route
things to the headphone mix, of course.</span><br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite"><span>This is even possible accessibly
with the same software and the AE through a menu bar
option, but, while the AE and MicroBook 2 use the same
software, those options are greyed out, and you have to go
to another part of the mixer to accomplish this. I'm not
sure why they didn't leave that well enough alone.</span><br>

<blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br>

<blockquote type="cite"><span>There is also no accessible way
to control the dynamics processing in the MicroBook 2.
Each channel and mix can have it's own dynamic compressor
and parametric EQ. I actually don't think the Audio
Express has this, but it's more flexible in every other
respect.</span><br>
