Pat's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " The best of the best"

Pcmcia used on a laptop, pc pci express.

Octopre Focuswrite in ADAT preamp, 8 microphones for drums.

Pre amp lamp insert (the rms converters)

Essentially Cubase, it solves the problem of latency (with 60 tracks, plugins everywhere, this is normal!) In record mode "compensation plugin" and it rolls.

Getting Started

RME do as told, and it is running.

Console mix Total Mix is limitless for routing, but each use must be concentrated, we quickly made anything!

Overall Opinion

To be honest, this is my first card (and my last), I remember very well, but it's been almost 20 years since I!

I used to catch mobile (RME gave era plus a cable to connect the card to a cigarette lighter and connect it to another on a 12v battery, class ...)

I have logged thousands of hours in studios hyper smoking, she took flight, it is placed on top I think all beer brands that may exist, and never a single crash or anything.

The quality of converters is not a legend.

I saw my friends with super pretty expensive cards, motus, etc ... yeah, they are very pretty, but ... I keep mine!

To predict pre amps, not necessarily ADAT, given the quality of the convertion, and also a headphone amplifier for lives taken.

In short, RME has made me somewhat forgotten the bitterness France / Germany 1982!

dogfacedgremelin's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Compete if you want good sound"

Characteristics

Sound card and remote quality converters have motivated my choice and also the opportunity to have a good price.

use it on a Windows PC and PCI Host.

use to record and mix with 18 In sending out to external elements then return in IN (delays, comp, etc ... equ)

map detail 1/2 Rack RME PCI card. No external power required Host card is supported.

Latency <5 ms A / D converter: 24bit/96kHz D / A converter: 24bit/96kHz.

Analog I / O: 8 input (s) and 8 output Jack 6.35 (s) 6.35 Jack.

Headphone volume control without (damage).

Digital I / O: S / PDIF Coaxial: 1 hall (s) and 1 output (s).

ADAT: 1 input and 8-channel ADAT: 1 output (s) 8 channels

WordClock sync.

MIDI I / O 1 input (s) and 1 output (s) MIDI.

compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux

Utilization

RME drivers are among those that are most heavies have found that work even when the cards are no longer supported.

A running win 7 DIGI ASIO mode perfectly (any music software that uses ASIO this respect).

They are often a day (This is the strength of RME compared to competition)

3ms latency and frankly there is not careful and I do not have a machine gammeur.

Getting Started

Installation without reading the manual so super easy.

Two to three minutes to address the TotalMix and left my kiki!

No conflict on the horizon, as if it was made for me!

For manual I have not read I'll do it one day-it :-)

Overall Opinion

I tested many soundcards (yamaha, echo, pinnacle, maya, EgoSys, alesis) And I must say that the future for me is RME.

Converters his transparent reproduction is faithful with a good dynamic short what it takes to put on a good foot production.

For the price as a lot of people will never see the treasure it in their hands and will sell cheap to stay tuned this is how it's done a pretty good deal. So this is a value for money unbeatable.

We thank buyers who resell because he did not hear the difference with their old sound card with two bullets.

This is a sound card to top

ytsexav's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Full-reliable-Transparent"

Characteristics

I was looking for an interface allowing me to have eight analog outputs for mixing (I use external hardware peripherals) and other complementary inputs RME interfaces of my colleagues, so you can record 24 tracks eg. Not at all disappointed! especially at this price!

I use it on a PC running XP64bits, with an i5 560, 8 GB RAM and Samplitude 11. No worries, no crash, perfectly integrated with Samplitude, and excellent opportunities for latency-free monitoring for recording.

Frequent use: live recording, mixing.

10/10

Utilization

Stable drivers, updates impeccable. No complaints. The site is full EMR.

I'm running 80 tracks easily with plugins and external routing.

In record 24 tracks with a Fireface 800 synced to the multifaceted.

Latency insignificant.

10/10

Getting Started

Easy installation.

Dedicated DSP card.

No incompatibilities.

Manual clear.

10/10

Overall Opinion

I've had two years and if I had to redo a choice, it would be anyway RME.

The converters are of very high end, nothing to do with Avid ...

I also have an Apogee DUET on Mac which I am extremely satisfied, except that the RME offers possibilities far superior.

I also had many other cards before .. Motu, Digidesign, M-Audio, Steinberg, and none has ever brought me as much satisfaction as the RME: we forget and that's the gist ... ears are calm to work ...

Overall Opinion

used from November 2006 until dcs result of old age in my toshiba the last year. I tried Hercules 16/12 FW (cot a joke the motu (2408 and 2408 mk2 mk 3), fire pro MAUDIO 2626 ....

It is connected to the console via the ADAT SPDIF.

To install it, no. Exe ... Drout is a bit but when I install it must be said that j'tais sucks, so I probably galr more than enough ...

At home, it runs on XP, but I would be curious to know if it also runs on 64 Seven Bits ... if anyone knows ...

In short, trs good product!

Utilization

No crash of the driver since I ... I use it mainly with Cubase SX3, really no problem, it works perfectly!

melo78's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " one of the best sound card"

Characteristics

a lot of people advised me to take this card

mpc 2000 xl, s 3000 xl, mpc 2500

cubase plug and

hip hop

2 pc "ASUS P5Q Deluxe," on each card rm, 3g for proc and 4gig of ram on each pc.

Utilization

perfect driver.

cubase, Sound Forge and a few plugs on energieXT

I never pushed the card all the way, recording with 8 x 3000 out of the 8 tracks in stereo and "see" on cubase phase mixing

update "it's a long time, as it works ..."

(3 min)

Getting Started

it was a little tedious for me "unsupported hardware"

back to the seller, a simple manipulation of audio options to force the installation path of drivers after nikel ..

I put a little time getting used to, not easy to adapt quickly when that of the prod.

incompatibilities, never

clear

Overall Opinion

5 / 6 years

I had a choice between the Reverend and Echo Layla

I looked at the Rme

+ Converter

-Interface, the box a little small for the I / O, no preamp

for instruments which made voice

a very good machine nothing to say "between 200/350 Used"

Rec n' Play's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Very good sound card"

Characteristics

I wanted an alternative to my DIGIFACE which has only digital inputs.

Having several cards and a Digiface Hammerfall PCI Express and PC, the case seemed ideal for multifaceted able to have I / O analog and digital.

AUDIO

8 line I / O (Cack TRS)

1 ADAT I / O (TOS)

1 SPDIF I / O (RCA)

DATA / COM

1 RMEWIRE (FW 1394 connector)

1 WC I / O (BNC)

1 Midi I / O (DIN)

1 ADAT sync

Utilization

In RECORDING

I use it with my laptop and my desktop.

I use it with the release of an adat OctaMic D in RME too.

The ocatmic gives me 8-channel "transparent" and I use the 8 inputs with preamps lines + "colored"

In MIX

I use it on a desktop where I do all in the box but I connect hardware effects in both analog and digital.

For monitors, I go to a digital tc electronic BMC-2 converted to analog ...

Getting Started

We can not say that it's going alone. The SHIFT frimware are sometimes problematic but once it works does not crash ever ca ...

RME

Overall Opinion

THE +

RME-Super converters

-Stable

-Up to 18 I / O

The -

Update the firmware.
