Really?! That thing has VRM built in, right?

I wouldn't want to set you back but I may be interested. I guess it'll depends on how much we spend on the car + studio desk + monitors this afternoon. I wasn't planning on buying it that soon due to the aforementioned items we have to buy asap, but I'll have to run this opportunity by my wife later today. ;)

I'll PM you later today or early tomorrow. :) Thanks!

I don't know if this is an option but it is cheap today:  http://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid/  Fast Track Pro Mobile USB Audio/MIDI Interface  109 bucks.

No probs ol pal.  It ain't goin nowheres:-)

Julien - Thanks! I have a Fast Track and though it has served me well, the RCA outputs were one of the things that bugged me - I'd prefer something that'll let me use good old TRS cables. :)

OlPal - Thanks - I'll keep you posted. We had an opportunity for a car - exactly what we wanted. But when we arrived there, we realized that the guy had omitted to mention it didn't have any AC, so it threw us back a little and we're still looking, so the budget is pending - but I'll get back to you w/ a yes or no no later than tomorrow. :)

Also, if you've got Firewire, I've got an extra MOTU 896HD in great condition. I'm running another 896HD and an 8Pre so I don't need it. Very reasonable.

I have a feeling this would either: 
 
a: exceed my budget (even at the most reasonable price I could imagine for such a unit).

b: make me feel guilty for the rest of my life because you'd have sold it to me for a price that didn't exceed my budget. ;)

I wish though...

I'm asking $350 for it. Record up to 192. 8 XLR ins, 8 XLR direct outs, 2 XLR Main outs. 9 out of 10 functionally and cosmetically. Pictures available. /Buyer pays shipping from Texas. I've got an extra that why I'm selling it.

Ouch - a MOTU 896 HD for 350???? - why do you guys do that to me? lol 

Still working on the car issue, I'll keep you guys posted tomorrow.

Just lemme know. I've the original box etc.

Well, it looks like I'll have to postpone the whole thing. Not only is buying a car in Vegas a lot more complicated when you're canadian, but the whole thing is also a lot more expensive (30% cash down and a 25% interest rate... ouch). 

So Earl and OlPal, thank you so much for the offer. And the best of luck getting as much as you can for the units...
