I'm brand new to pro audio recording, and I'm putting together my system right now. I'm interested in buying a MOTU 828 Mk1 interface in order to pipe 4 XLR mics through the 828, through firewire, into the Mac, into some software VSTs, then back out through firewire to the 828 and output to some live monitors. In other words, the whole point is to apply some VST effects to some Microphones.
Since the 828 Mk1 is fairly old hardware, I just want to check with anyone who has used this device to make sure that there won't be any hangups using it in the scenario I described on a current Mac with Firewire.
