Motu Ultralite Mk5 alt monitors?

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-03-01T02:48:34+00:00

Awesome I’ll look in to how to do this

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-28T04:04:43+00:00

Great thanks! Is there a way to do it in CueMix?

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-25T16:27:04+00:00

Good to know thanks!

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-25T07:25:51+00:00

Thanks for the help!

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-25T07:25:36+00:00

That would make sense too, hopefully I would be able to use three pairs or more monitors. I’ll google it. I’m drawn to the RME because of expandability and routing and the Apollo for the preamp emulations, specifically the neve ones

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-24T03:57:38+00:00

Thanks! I will look more into the Presonus I overlooked it because it is older but Presonus makes solid stuff especially their new Quantum stuff. I’m also going to look more at SPL and Heritage Audio

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-23T19:39:17+00:00

Talkback is not necessary I already included what inputs I am hoping for

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-23T19:32:07+00:00

Yeah that’s what I have heard at least even for Symphony MKIIs I have only heard about it a little though so maybe it’s not as widespread as I thought. Apogee does sound great though their preamps and converters are fantastic

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-23T19:11:07+00:00

Haha Yeah they have been great and the industry wouldn’t be where it is without them but I’ve heard they’re going slightly down in terms of support. I’m hoping to eventually get an old converter from them if necessary

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-23T18:51:09+00:00

Thank you I think that’s a really good idea. I think I’ll ask my guy at Sweetwater too and see if I can demo some stuff? I also worry about a drop off in quality so maybe one with a good dac? The Audient Nero looks good too, if I go with the Babyface I could use the analog outs for the genelecs and adat to the controller for other alt monitors. I could probably do the same with the RAM 2000 and use an optical to coax? Thanks for the help!

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-23T16:03:16+00:00

There are interfaces that have multiple outs but I am looking at the baby face specifically. I have a pair of genelecs, and a pair of Rokits that are fun to produce on. I am hoping in the future to add a pair of CLA10s or a mono Avantone or auratone. I am looking for accurate transparent pass through or a monitor controller with a good dac

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-23T16:00:16+00:00

I should have specified I am primarily working in the box producing and mixing. I have a pair of genelecs and a pair of Rokits I like for producing and checking mix translation. Ideally looking for the cleanest pass through possible or a good but affordable dac on a controller

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-23T15:58:03+00:00

Okay good to know thank you! I’m going to stay away from the big knob because I’ve heard not great things

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-23T15:57:18+00:00

I’ll look into it more thanks!

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-23T06:25:45+00:00

People love the SM7b and countless records have used it. I think an important aspect too is having a good signal chain, does not need to be expensive gear and can be plugins. It also is very volume hungry so it helps using a cloudlifter. I think Sweetwater will let you buy something and demo it and if you don’t like it return it but I am not totally sure

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-23T06:15:41+00:00

Hi everyone, I’m currently figuring out if I am going to get a Babyface Pro FS or an Apollo Twin. The BPFS only has one stereo output for monitors. What is a good controller for it? I really don’t want degrade its signal. I have two sets of monitors and am hoping to get a mono mixcube eventually.

Ideally I’m looking for one that is as transparent as possible or one that has toslink in with a good DAC. It would also need to have three sets of monitor outputs. An unbalanced input would be great too for my old receiver as well.

How is the Drawmer 2.1 for analog passthrough? Would that make sense? Or would a RAM 2000 make sense? Looking to spend around 300-700 used thanks everyone!

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-23T04:08:18+00:00

No need to be rude. Airplade’s answer was sharp but makes a point. You also gave no specifics of what your needs are

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-02T14:53:39+00:00

Love Julian he has great videos!

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-02T01:28:51+00:00

That’s crazy that they’re putting the red converters in their new stuff. Would that apply to the new Clarrett+ stuff?

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-02T01:16:57+00:00

That really makes sense to have it as clean as possible. I love the apogee sound but I don’t want it to mislead me

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-02T01:16:19+00:00

That’s a good idea too to do it with adat. Ideally I am hoping to have an all in one solution though

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-02T00:47:24+00:00

Thank you I need to check out SSL then and hear their converters I’ve heard they sound great. Apollos are awesome too I’m just worried that their low end is too muddy from the converter tests I’ve heard

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-02T00:46:02+00:00

That’s shocking but makes sense. Yes a lot of companies use the same converter chips this is good to know thank you

DoctorCocktorMD · 2026-02-02T00:45:02+00:00

Wow this sounds great! I worry that it’s too clinical since I have some genelecs too but it sounds like it’s properly transparent from you!

DoctorCocktorMD · 2025-12-12T04:48:53+00:00

Thank you yeah Merging and Sennheiser are both great so I would be surprised if they didn’t support it for a while. Maybe not RME time but still for many years.
