BR 80 or BR800?

[guitarron]

I'll soon be buying a new pc/laptop so I'm also considering getting either the 80 or 800 as an audio interface/integrated multitrack-
How well do these guys work as an interface?

Has anyone here have used the faders to control in Sonar?
just curious
thanks

I've only briefly experimented with the BR-80 as an audio interface - it passes through to our computer via USB whatever is plugged into one of the BR-80's inputs.

I haven't tried it yet, but I really doubt you could use the BR-80's virtual faders to control Sonar. The BR-800 with its physical faders may be a different story, though?

Both the BR-80 and the BR-800 can be used as an audio interface. But only the BR-800 can be used as a control surface for a DAW. The BR-80 lacks that feature. It wouldn't make much sense anyway since it doesn't have faders.

Why don't you carry your happy ass down here for a visit, you can demo both, and see your sister? All you gotta do is jump in the car Ron.

Hi guitarron i have not used the br 800 as a control surface , but it does has that function avaliable if the need takes you, i am more than happy with my 800 real easy to use with everything were you would expect it to be , the firmware update gives it a bit more edit functions which were saddly missing for some reason !! so track copy and move etc  are more ready ..

Have fun which ever you choose !!

Tony-Always the voice of reason-you're guilt trippin' me

[guitarron]

is the 800 a 2x2 audio interface?

800 has no eband?
effects are the same in both units?

[Tony W]

the effects are not the same, and IMHO the effects on the 80 are more intuitive.

The 800 does not have eband

I don't know diddly about audio interface.

[guitarron]

honestly thinking of just sticking to using the
motu for now-
