The MOTUs are perfectly fine. Just don't listen next to an apogee (that much more expensive). The mod takes them into serious pro (As opposed to Semi-Pro) territory.

Bang for buck the 24/i/o is hard to beat. Great interface.

Ok thanks for the answers

I think I'll be happy with the 24I/O. I can then later get the mod too if I feel need for it.

I'm curious why you filled the ports on your monitors there...

Yeah, it stops the bass being too exaggerated (position of monitors)

Have you noticed how the left is in the corner, with both blocked, and the right, with only one blocked. I got this tip from the Alesis manual, which states that if you are positioning the monitors, blah,blah, then block ports. Alesis. not me.

Hope this helped and it works for me because I am used to the way the monitors sound now. I also try my tracks out in the car, on my hi-fi, little portables, etc to get them sounding OK.

i always block the ports of front ported speakers - otherwise you're going to get double the bass. Good for a good fat sound but no so good for producing.

True, without the ports blocked the bass sounds too full on and seems to muddy everything

Thanks for being with me on that one mate...

Here's mine so far

Nobody in particular; it's actually a rendered (line art maybe?) drawing. I stole it from here: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/16150353/

I finally have new speakers and added some acoustic foam to kill the early reflections. Speakers are standing on candy boxes for now.. Must get proper stands soon. I also tried the right side rack for the table.
