Serious Power for Native Audio Workstations

Mobility
PowerCore is the open DSP-platform for rackmount-quality processing inside any
VST or AudioUnit compatible audio application such as Logic, Cubase, Nuendo
or Performer. The new PowerCore FireWire enables laptop users and professionals
constantly on the move to take advantage of the wide selection of professional tools.
Power
Even complex mixes are possible with just a laptop and one PowerCore FireWire,
as it is offering almost twice the power of the PCI-card version! The unique combination
of a floating-point PowerPC with 4 Motorola DSPs ensures tight integration into the
native world ? at the same time maintaining all of the advantages that DSPs offer for
pristine signal processing.
Quality
PowerCore?s software and hardware provide the utmost quality and a future-proof design.
Extremely power demanding tools like Mastering Dynamics, Reverbs and other
professional virtual processors run on PowerCore without draining the host computer?s
resources.
Tools
PowerCore FireWire delivers an array of powerful tools right out of the box. The nine
virtual processors included feature the most complete collection of dynamics
 processing available, including a virtual Finalizer (Master X), Vintage Compression
and a Voice Channel Strip. Not to mention the two TC-quality Reverbs, Modulation
Effects, EQ, Synthesis...
Flexibility
Aside from the included software, PowerCore users may choose from the growing
number of optional TC and 3rd party tools, featuring renowned brands such as Waldorf,
Sony, TC-Helicon, DSound - and many more to come. Naturally, the PCI-card and the
FireWire version of PowerCore may be used in the same system!
Includes Plug-Ins:
24 / 7-C Virtual Limiting Amplifier
Convincing vintage compression and limiting using one of the most desired vintage models
for PowerCore! 24/7?C was inspired by one of the vintage processors synonymous with
classic dynamics processing for mixing and mastering. This Plug-In recreates the details of
the sound and user interface of this hardware processor as closely as possible, delivering
virtual vintage at its best. The user interface is simple and straight-forward: increasing the
input will drive the limiter depending on the selected ratio. Even the famous 4-Button-mode
was implemented. A special new feature is an Auto-Gain sensing for the Output parameter,
that adjusts the output depending on the program material. Four stereo or up to six mono
instances of 24/7-C run on just one of PowerCore?s DSPs, without taxing the CPU.

Turn your computer into a powerful digital audio workstation with eight mic inputs. Or add eight high-quality mic/instrument inputs to your current system.

The 8pre FireWire audio interface delivers everything you need to turn your computer into a powerful 24-bit, 96kHz digital audio workstation. The 8pre provides eight microphone/instrument preamps with pristine 96kHz analog recording and playback, combined with 8 channels of ADAT optical digital I/O. Expand your system by connecting additional 8pres or other MOTU FireWire audio interfaces.

Use the included CueMix™ software to mix all 16 inputs from your computer. Eight channels of ADAT optical I/O make the 8pre an ideal companion for a digital mixer. Two ADAT lightpipe connections work together to support a full 8 channels of optical digital I/O at any sample rate up to 96kHz.

Connect all of your studio gear, including microphones, guitars, synths, keyboards, drum machines and even effects processors. Then monitor all of these live inputs via the 8preʼs main outs or headphone jack — with virtually no monitoring latency and no processor drain on your computer. You can even create separate monitor mixes for the main outs and headphones. Control everything, including talk-back and listen-back, from the included CueMix Console™ software, just like a large studio console.

The 8pre includes a 16-channel MIDI interface. Simply plug in your FireWire cable, and both MIDI and audio are ready to go. Connect any MIDI device, such as a controller keyboard, synth module, automated control surface or drum machine. Timing is sample-accurate with supporting software.

The 8pre provides cross-platform compatibility with Mac OS X 10.3 or higher, Windows XP and all of your favorite audio software and host-based effects via WDM/ASIO/Core Audio drivers. Or you can use the included AudioDesk workstation software for Mac OS, with 24-bit recording/editing and 32-bit mixing/processing/mastering.

The 8pre is really two products in one. When it is not connected to a computer via FireWire, the 8pre functions as an eight-channel analog to digital (optical) converter. Connect the 8pre to your MOTU 828, 896, Traveler or even another 8pre via the optical "lightpipe” connection to add eight high-quality microphone pre-amps to your system. Since the connection is digital, 100% pristine sound is maintained, down to the very last sample.

MOTU FireWire audio interfaces are fully compatible with FireWire 800-equipped Macs. All you need is a standard FireWire 400-to-800 cable. Just plug in and go. The FireWire bus operates at 400 Mb/sec, providing the same high speed, low latency and rock solid reliability that MOTU FireWire interfaces are known for.

The 8pre is the perfect way to instantly add eight more mic inputs to any audio interface or digital mixer with optical I/O. If you have a MOTU interface with on-board CueMix DSP mixing, such as the 828mkII, 896HD or Traveler, the 8pre inputs appear directly in the host interface's CueMix mixer to becomes a transparent extension of your system, operating together with your primary interface as a single, integrated unit — even when the host interface is not connected to a computer and is instead operating as a stand-alone mixer.

If you have a 2408mk3, digital mixer or other audio device that supports 96kHz optical and also has two optical inputs, the 8pre connects to it via both optical ports to provide a full eight channels of analog to optical conversion at the 88.2 or 96kHz sample rates.

The UA-1G is a compact 1 x 1 USB Audio Interface that offers excellent-quality sound via multiple connection options and a simple, user-friendly design.
