All user reviews of 4/5 for the Alesis MasterLink ML-9600

-Between us is the first device from a fifty j'achte I used only 24 / 3 weeks of the Service Checker! Today, one month and a half, I have ramen for service 2 times a problem for frequency drives (and increase the dsynchronisation frquence of 48khz 96khz suddenly have supported APRS STOP for 30 minutes or so.).

-If I bought it because I love the brand biensur ALESIS, I have two ADAT BLACK and it is used in many studios amricains.Parlons English and the converter is more stable good as in my case (well short), the heat input by the final mastering tools trs warm, his step trs readable for mioppes? its ease of mastering backup for each list of songs, a beautiful and compression ffective! and between the SPDIF output / AESEBU? Its tlecommande for rgler facilemment without hurting leg! THE FACTS! I love everything about this device and I do not understand what I pourkoi problem of synchronizing the clock running, connected by a card MOTU 2408 MK2, a BLACK ADAT and a YAMAHA D24, all my Systm is about 48KHz and 24 bit! I understand, it's not normal!

-Before I mastered only with programs such as Isotope, wavelab 4 and apparatus Behring DSP 9024? But MASTERLINK itself is very good especially with its 20GB hard drive xtensible normally!

The quality-price ratio is good for styles of music trs wide, so if you ... ALESIS INTERESTED!

With my professional xperience-especially the one I had with the MASTERLINK with his second and trs long Checker for service! I advance more and I start musicalemment dsespr be for my future models! S'acclere time as my MASTERLINK We can say that the MASTERLINK IS VERY NOW! THEN I MET A 7 / 10 FOR NOT PUTTING A 6/10.BONNE luck!

Alesis Masterlink - Transfer Vinyl

It use "idiophile" somewhat special ...
Overall, the device is a CD medium, a good converter, a DSP trs good (with functions limitations), and an excellent writer.
So I read the vinyl with a sharp enough equipment (Thorens turntable "heavily" modified, cell BM, Anzai transformer A75, prampli RIAA "house") and goes directly to the Masterlink with analog A / D conversion bits/88 in 24, 2 Khz.
Sampling of this frquence is chosen to facilitate the "downsampling" 88.2>> 44.1 KHz, which is rput happen in the best conditions when the processor works with multiples.
A single DSP = each track is "normalized" to realign its maximum level on the zero-numrique to make the most of the dynamics of 24 bits.
Especially no compression or attempted rduire the surface noise!
Finally, burning from the hard drive to CDs "Redbook" (16/44, 1), on CD-R brand not too rotten.
Well, in two cases prcis the exact specifications costs (on systems of high-end) were musically rvls suprieurs the commercial edition on CD same records! Do not have statistics on two cases, but all the same ....
And we can do even better (suivre. ..)
Alesis Masterlink - dtach spices.

A big advantage of this device is that it uses standard computer components, so no coteux.
But watch the stuff = IT evolves so fast that the 40 GB hard drives and CD burners do not find that ending for the muses!
In my opinion, users would do well to have prvoyants Reserved in a hard drive and a CD especially for a MODEL recognized by the Masterlink (some updates of the OS do in fact MODEL adds a list of recognized writers dj).
There on the Alesis site file (ML_History.pdf) rcapitulant the history of the OS, o DIFFERENT compatible burners are indicated.

We should get away with less than 100 Euros for a hard drive plus a spare ...
Notice people safe!

I use it for 4 years now.
What I like most: the place of the disc, the transparency of the sound between the fact that all the pieces are at the same level and the same "type" of its output, short, boiboite magic.
Petit point ngatif (but then small): the computer not controllable, but hey, even when there is a big step + the tlcommande, so good ...
MODEL is the only test that I have but it works like a clock ...
Trs good report quality price, the songs sound "pros" when they come out of this unit.
I bought used, and once we understand what are its effects, it is frankly the trouble to lean on ...
There is a difference between the type and the level of output, the meters can betray you (but not your ears ...) but once this point is a pure joy assimil ...
I use it to master pieces of rock ...
I do it again this choice with his eyes closed

EDIT 08/01/2008:

After a few years of good use, I had to go torture custom settings of the compressor and other qualisers to draw exactly what I wanted ...
Do not be afraid to cut through the bacon and try rglages extreme or even trslgers paramtres also some other ...
Otherwise the machine seems indestructible, the CTE secondhand down, you should take advantage ))

EDIT from 13/03/2009
APRs have any upgrad all of my hardware, I must say that the converters of this machine sometimes leaves me perplexed as appropriate, it gives a dimension to the song, or the contrary dnature completely. .. I think trying to go through only if it "has done" and go through my Apogee converters / Soundscape for other pieces.
In addition, the internal effects seem dpasss for the studio, these days, even if, again, for certain types of music ncessitant Punch and tension in the sound (eg dance ) will blow a sr!
I lower my note 7 ...
