I owned a firestudio and a Motu 8 pre. The two I kept in my studio are the UX8 which i use for guitar tracking now and the Motu which I feel is the strongest of the units. The Presonus pramps are good but I wasn’t a fan of the drivers they weren’t very good. Other than that the presonus is a good unit just not very versatile.

No it doesn’t read the instructions. It sends 8 tracks to 8 individual channels. No offence, but if you purchased it and can’t get it to work in this fashion then you either can’t understand your recording software or are using it incorrectly. It won’t use gear box on 8 channels at a time it will record try mic channels to 8 tracks no problems. It’s up to the software operator to ign it to do so.

DO NOT BUY THE TONEPORT UX8! i find it to be useless. you cant even run each track individually it all records onto one track. and honestly the preamps are terrible. i own the same ux2 and i couldnt agree more that the vocal preamps are . if you honestly suggested the ux8 then perhaps you should look into the presonus firestudio, it has MUCH better preamps, it has a midi in and out, and you can record each input seperately. but you have to have a firewire connection or firewire2usb adapter.

Yeah man, out of the presonus firestudio, mbox and ux2 I choose the UX2. If you are planning on recording drums get the UX8 it’s really good I have one of them too

this is by far the best of the 3 i’ve owned and tried for what it can do it’s much better than a presonus firestudio or mbox in my opinion.

The inputs i think you mean? They are ok but there’s not enough gain for professional mics depending on how you sing or what you are doing with it. They are good but not great compared with a proper preamp.
