Borrowed some microphones from a friend at work to experiment with new sounds, and just in time as the MOTU finally arrived -- missing all of the advertised audio cables, but I guess that is par for the course when buying used off of eBay. But wow, what a difference in sound when I plugged the MOTU in -- I guess that's what people are talking about when they say that your A/D converters matter, because it was not much short of an amazing difference.

I still don't understand sampling rates, sample size, and most of the driver settings. But hey, that's what a copious amount of free time is for...
