X1 Pro Exp and the MOTU 24/I/O

Curious if anyone is using this setup in the home type studios?
 
Im looking at the 24I/O and like what I see but would like to see some feed back using it with a PC & X1

    Hi,guy! I have been using a 24 i/o since they released them. I started out on an HP single processor computer running XP 32 bit. I moved up to an Asus Quad with Windows 7 64 bit. When I installed the card in to the computer, all I had to do was download the 64 bit driver, install, and I am glad to say I have never had one bit of trouble. I run it in ASIO mode. I know some people will say that the 24 i/o is really getting long in tooth, but I have used this thing in commercial studio settings ever since I bought it. Everyone has their issues with the setup on their rigs. I can only speak for myself. I LOVE THIS THING! As for running with X1, I have used nothing but Cake DAWs since about 97. I don't know if I have been lucky or what but outside of using Pro Tools for some really high end projects in other studios, Cake has never let me down. X1 Expanded is in my opinion the best Cake yet! I sound like a fanboy but I can't express how happy I have been with the 24 i/o and X1. Do Check Out Other Options! Just because I am satisfied doesn't mean you will be. The ONLY downside to the 24 i/o is no phantom power and no midi. You do have wordclock but I have only used that sparingly. Again, I have been very happy with the 24 and X1!

    Thanks Sid. Just what I was looking for in a review!  Sad it doesnt have the Phantom power though. I didnt even think about that and that is kind of important for me. Right now I run my Phantom power off the MAudio FTU and not the board so I can go direct in on certain situations so not having it would be an issue.  
    Thanks again

    I have always used the 24i/o in the tape sends and returns of the console and used the phantom power on the consoles. It is more or less a hooked up as a tape recorder situation and works very well in that configuration. I use a Soundtracs Topaz 8 as a remote recording console. When useing at the studios I just have to bring my interface and computer and I am good to go. BTW, latency has greatly improved, even for 24-32 track live audio recording. Good luck on your choice!
