Speed
The M6 provides best-in-class speed for monitoring live inputs (mic, guitar or keyboard) through your computer, thanks to MOTU’s expertly engineered USB drivers, which deliver class-leading, ultra-low 2.5 ms Round Trip Latency (at 96 kHz with a 32 sample buffer).

Metering
When recording and mixing, nothing is more critical than achieving optimum levels. The M6 is the only audio interface in its class with a full color LCD featuring clear, detailed level meters for all inputs and outputs. Enjoy professional-level volume control and feedback to get your sound just right.

Loopback
The M6 driver provides convenient loopback channels to your host computer, so you can easily route computer output back to the computer, where you can mix it with up to four mics (and/or guitars) from the M6 in your host software for live streaming or podcasting. Streaming and podcasting has never been easier and better-sounding!

A/B Monitor Switch
The M6 is the only audio interface in its class to offer A/B monitor switching. Connect two pairs of monitors and quickly check your mixes on each pair with the push of a button

Stand-alone operation
With the included multi-blade international DC power adapter connected, you can power the M6 when the computer is turned off (or completely disconnected from the M6). This allows you to monitor any live inputs you may have (mics, guitars, keyboards, etc.) without a host computer or iOS device needed.

How Do I Make My YouTube Videos?

Jim Bask — Wed, 27 Jun 2018 15:47:16 +0000

From David Wallimann

In this video I want to show you around my studio, how I make YouTube videos and some of my gear.

I use the Sling Studio for the live camera switching. I also use three Panasonic Lumix cameras.

The Sling Studio acts as the hub for the entire studio, it creates its own wireless connection and allows me to record everything into a dedicated hard drive. All of that is controlled with the free app on my Ipad.

As far as the audio goes, for my voice I use a Rode pin mic. My guitar, amps, backing tracks, etc. are connected to my sound card, a MOTU 1248. As I record the video, I’m recording all these audio sources into Logic Pro, too.

I run my Backing Tracks in the Transcribe App using the Infinity USB Foot Controller.

Once the recording is done I plug the hard drive into my computer and export the one video file. Because all the camera switching is done in real time I only have to edit the mistakes. Finally, I’ll add the intro and outro.

This setup allows me to work less time, but being much more efficient!

MOTU Ships 624 and 8A Mobile Audio Interfaces with Thunderbolt, USB3, and AVB/TSN

Jim Bask — Tue, 13 Dec 2016 16:44:10 +0000

MOTU 624 and 8A Audio Interfaces now available

CAMBRIDGE, MA — Tuesday, December 6, 2016. MOTU is now shipping the 624 and 8A, two mobile audio interfaces with Thunderbolt and USB3 connectivity for Mac and Windows. Both interfaces share the same superb analog audio quality, ultra-low latency performance, advanced DSP-driven mixing and extensive AVB/TSN audio networking features as MOTU’s flagship 1248 and 16A interfaces.

With 32 and 34 channels of audio I/O, respectively, the 624 and 8A connect to any computer with Thunderbolt™ or super-speed USB3 with support for up to 256 audio channels (128 in and 128 out). New optimized MOTU drivers deliver industry-leading, ultra-low round-trip latency (RTL) performance as low as 1.6 ms at 96kHz over Thunderbolt (and 1.9 ms over USB) with high-performance DAW hosts. USB class-compliant firmware supports connection to any iOS device with a standard camera connection kit (adapter).

Like the award-winning 1248 and 16A, both new interfaces are equipped with renowned ESS Sabre32™ DAC technology, which delivers 123 dB dynamic range on their balanced, DC-coupled analog outputs.

Powerful DSP delivers large console style mixing with 48 channels, 12 stereo busses, and 32-bit floating point effects processing, including modeled analog EQ, vintage compression and classic reverb. Extensive routing patches ins to outs, or splits inputs to multiple destinations. The 624 and 8A can be used as a stand-alone mixer with wireless control from a tablet, smartphone and laptop — even multiple smart devices simultaneously — over shared Wi-Fi.

Using the unit’s Ethernet port, users can connect another MOTU AVB interface for more I/O — or connect to an expanded AVB/TSN network with multiple interfaces and computers.

“The 624 and 8A combine superb analog audio quality with compact size and all the advanced mixing, routing and networking features of MOTU’s flagship AVB interfaces,” said Jim Cooper, MOTU Director of Marketing.

The 624 and 8A include a suite of audio analysis tools, including a full-screen real-time FFT display, spectrogram “waterfall” display, full-featured oscilloscope, X-Y plot and phase analyzer.

Availability

The 624 and 8A are now shipping. Each is priced at $795 USD.
