I dun think so... given its pre-mature release to the market...
I'm sure many will agree with me.

AFAIK, there are no competitors at the same (or even close) price point.  It does everything I need it to do reliably - capture 0s and 1s from my V3 at minimum resolution of 24-bit, 48kHz - since firmware 1.2.3.

Okay, tell me ANY other product that retails for less than $400 that does 24/96 via S/PDIF, uses CF media, and has a decent A/D?

Waiting....

Same here, but please adjust the price point to $300.

Yeah, I know - but since when does anyone pay full retail for anything?  And I got mine for $300, so...if corsair comes up with another option with the functionality I need, at that price point, I'll consider it.  NFW there's competition at this feature / price point, though...but maybe he'll prove me wrong.

I may have spoken too soon...as much as I love the MT when it works I just downloaded and installed the Mac version of the 1.3.3 upgrade and I now have a completely dead MT. Aargh!

Be warned.

Seriously, the band makes the music. Tapers just point mics in the right direction and hit "record".

That's good to hear!  The last patcher I had complained about my AKGs, fluffed schoeps for about 15 minutes, stayed patched in, and farted on me all night long.

Um, in my room, one seam is a little off and I stare at it constantly. It's, like, destroying me.

as others have mentioned, the auto-split featute doesn't really meet our needs.  it only took 5-9 seconds to stop a file and start a new one anyway, so nothing has changed.  myself, I'm never going to let it autosplit, because it might happen during a song.  I'm going to continue to do it manually, so that I know the split will happen between songs.  I guess it's a step in the right direction, but it really does need to be seamless...

There aren't really different "firmware" versions for mac or windows are there?  Isn't is the same thing packaged in an appropriate container  for the different platforms? 

The "Windows" version worked well for me.

Great to see the new release and the fixes!  Nice saturday morning surprise.  Sounds like it will be a huge improvement for those who have had microdrive issues.

I agree with Jason that the autosplit is only a minor extension of what we've already had. It sure would have been nice if they'd given us dual channel mono as a work-around (bumping 24/96 to 2 hours and 24/44 to about 4).

Everyone should nicely contact support and repeat the request for seamless splits and dual mono file recording.

Agreed 100% and would add the request for input monitoring when recording from spdif.  I had been sending them reminders about different things every 2 or 3 weeks and they acknowledged that many others users had been requesting the same items, so it certainly doesn't hurt.

Go here:

http://m-audio.com/index.php?do=support.contact

And select whatever country you live in. You'll then need to setup an account and once that is complete, submit an new technical support incident. Submit new indcidents for each issue-so one for the 2gig split, one for the dual mono file recording etc. 

The whole thing is a little clunky, but it seems to work. I've also found that when they first respond to your incident, you'll get the standard "We always appreciate interest in our product. Thanks." which isn't very helpful.  Respond to that with more questions and you'll normally get more details.

yeah, we need to keep banging M-Audio w/ emails about the auto split and not let them think it is really fixed..

I sent one of thanking them for their efforts so far etc, but that we need seemless for any real live situations

How comes they choose the left channel to be recorded at mono setting?
My MTs left channels noise is somewhere about -69 dB whereas the right is -91 dB.
