I thought that was Plant

Thanks Guys
 
The MOTU UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid would be for my laptop which only has USB 3.0 ports. That's where I would want to use it. It has that built extra charge usb crap so I assuming this affects the voltage. Maybe not. But the voltage is diffeent from what I read. 
 
I am getting the Asus P8Z77 V for my desktop daw. I use my layla3G for that.
 
I am looking at the USB stuff for my laptop only-Asus N56VM
 
Thanks for all the responses.

I am going to check if they are the same drivers-Thanks - Hope they are.

Can't believe I have to register to download drivers at MOTU? Anyway, I cannot tell if they ar the same drivers for the 828 that Cjay uses. But I did see where they are testing drivers for Windows 8 x64 and will have those soon.
 
 

I am happy to report that the drivers are the same for all the MOTU USB audio interfaces and CJay says they are rock solid- Cool Good enough for me.
 
Also they have firmware updates for ALL the USB interfaces to make them more compatible with USB 3.0 ports-That's a big plus also. No mention of that on the Roalnd site for the Octacapture.

I use the Motu Mk3 Hybrid fro mixing project in Win 64bit and they are rock solid. I believe that they use the same drivers as the Ultralite hybrid. I also believe that Win 7 does not support USB3 speeds on its own.

I should have asked-Are you using the firewire or USB drivers? Very important for clarification. Just read where some bozo says (Dec 12, 2012 no less ) that the Win USB drivers suffer a lot???? But that's only one post.

I use USB Strat. I find it way better. But this also depends on the type of Firewire card you have on your PC. From what i have read, firewire is going to be fazed out in the future.

Thanks Cj
That's what I wanted to know

I use a quad capture on an hp laptop thru a usb 3.0 port - asio, 96 samples, no problems. If I'm pushing it I turn off wireless.

On my DAW I use firewire (audiofire4) - it's running asio, 96 samples as well, but no wireless.

I really am torn between the roland and the MOTU-I need, well want, the many i\o' so I am pulling my hair out between the OCtacapture and the MOTU Ultralite HYbrid MK3. The MOTU is $100+ cheaper and reads much better than the Octacapture. I mean feature wise. Both read nice that way actually. But the USB 3.0 ports on my Asus N56VM scare me with the Roland. I need to sstop reading reviews :-) MOTU actually has a FW upgrade for all it;s USB units to make them more compatable with Windows USB 3.0 ports Roland seems to not care. What a surprise. I wouldlike to have something for the weekend so I have until tomorrow morning to order. I use Amazon-the return policy alone makes it worth it plus I have the prime shipping $399 one day service.
 
That's on either unit. The only reason I don't just jump on the MOTU is because MOTU just seems more Mac oriented to me-dumb I know. Helllllppppppppp mmmmmeeeeeee :-)
