All user reviews of 3/5 for the Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6

Motivation of choice: I needed a sound card with at least two mobile XLR inputs with USB connection.
I used a laptop Ordi (Toshiba Satellite Pro) 4G Ram, Dual core 2.27Ghz.

UTILIZATION

Yes Driver Stable update for USB 3 in the Native Instruments website.
I used it with Reaper. For latency I do not remember too much but it was not great nor bad.

GETTING STARTED

Installation without problems, the setup is easy. Manual in very good paper.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it a few months, I used material m-audio, audiophile firewire 410 and 610.
What I like most is that it is compact and solid nothing to say, the sound is neutral, clean, I recorded vocal takes with a Rode NT2000 and I was happy.
on the other hand there or it's not going at all is that it is possible to record two microphone that need phantom power at the same time! (+ 48V)!! Phantom power can not supply both micro (inputs) at the same time! So be careful before purchasing! big disappointment I made as early!
PS: this sound card does not work with timecode for DJ!
In my case I do not have that choice as it is impossible to simultaneously record two inputs that need the power supply. phantom! If you do not need it is a good product for money!

Use computer music / home studio mainly for the electro / Drum & Bass.

Very well finished product we recognize the quality of the finishing of our dear friends in German Native instruments

A volume knob on the top of master, very practical.

Stereo 3 inputs, 3 outputs Stereo, a MIDI in / out.

UTILIZATION

Drivers stable, no crashes so far APRS over 6 months of use on DIFFERENT Systmes, MAC / PC, and all types of DAW (Logic Pro, Live 8 suite, Fruityloops 10).

A single update from Native instrument since the release in May 2011, makes no problem.

Trs low latency with my config (Mac Book Pro Core 2 Duo, 8GB RAM with Logic Pro 9 / 8 Live suite, Yamaha HS80M). In fact the CPU is plutt went wrong.

Same with the PC Core 2 Duo E5400, 8GB Ram, Fruity loops 10 / Le5 Cubase, Yamaha HS80M)

GETTING STARTED

Installation performed without any problem, USB connectivity, it is recognized directly with all software utiliss date.

Manual provided simple conis, at the same time the only thing to do is map ... plugger

Small point ngatif, no interface proposed by the manufacturer, for routing of output must go through a soft forcment.

Positive, the elements included Komplete pack (guitar rig 4, 5 ... Reaktor and Cubase LE 5).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for six months (May 2011 purchase).

This is the first model of sound card I bought (300 can be a bit expensive but it is now 200 on the site of Native instruments which makes it a very COMPTITE quality price ratio)

Well the main point ngatif (there must be one) and frankly I find really abuse on the part of the native instrument for once, I'll write for wholesale although no lack THE SOUND CARD IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO, for the simple reason that Native instruments adcid not to include the "Traktor Scratch certified" so be careful dj gentlemen, it is intended only card computer music, and it is not possible today prvu any upgrade to CORRECT this problem.
Solution to the problem: Mix Vibes Cross.

I am still happy trs but if I repeat my choice to use as I did (MIDI I / O required) I would opt for DJ likely that 10 audio also benefitted from a MIDI input / output for over 100 and is compatible with Traktor.
