UTILIZATION

<ul class="ul">

The drivers supplied with the card are not compatible with Snow Leopard but just download the beta drivers on the presonus website and worked fine, I wonder why they are still in beta

so contrary to my previous card M Audio Firewire Solo

Logic Studio 9, garage band ...

GETTING STARTED

<ul class="ul">

The installation is done it without problems?

</ul>

yes no problem, you just have to watch out for those Snow Leopard do not install the drivers fournits on the installation CD and install drivers directly from the beta site is more than stable. Appere seller of music in a twelve o'clock toulouse told me that he was walking without install on older Mac

<ul class="ul">

Have you experienced any incompatibilities?

</ul>

And that's not why I chose it.

<ul class="ul">

</ul>

very yes it is installed the driver reboot, you plug and it works

<ul class="ul">

</ul>

English manual as the website for the maj of drivers but hey everything is very intuitive, not require an engineer to use it.

OVERALL OPINION

A few days so I think can be modified in any case I am delighted and recordings made with my guitar and my battery is more than satisfesent.

<ul class="ul">

What is so special that you like most and least?

</ul>

FireWire connectivity, the number of inputs, connections for MIDI and notched buttons that exudes qualitée

<ul class="ul">

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

</ul>

j'aivais but not a firewire solo audio in M ​​I would not recommend very strongly for the monitoring of drivers is not serious or the sav, for several SEAIN I sought a solution to run this card without Snow Leopard by the success of the hotline, the official forum ... a very dark for this major manufacturer of audio interfaces.

<ul class="ul">

How would you rate the quality / price?

</ul>

very satisfactory in view of the quality of the recordings. For 300 euros required for the people.

<ul class="ul">

With experience, you do again this choice? ...

</ul>

oh, yes, but the test store reassured me and I will go for you to travel in a large teaching music near or far from home, because nothing beats the advice of a professional ... otherwise I am very satisfied.
