lacharrier's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Very happy"

Characteristics

I use this card with a pair of Yamaha HS50M. I plug in an instrument or microphone from time to time.

I chose it mainly because of its interface (beautiful) while facade style mixer. All cables in the back, the position is cleaner. We have the right to a nice bar graph and a large volume knob very useful

I use the FireWire port on my PC W7 and the external power supply and connected to avoid cuts.

Utilization

I work mostly with Live! and virtual instruments and MIDI keyboards.

The configuration of this card can record two mono tracks at the same time, despite more entries but does so without flinching.

A small point on latency ngatif I would have liked a longer short (11ms 19ms input and output).

Getting Started

Installation is perfectly fine and I have not had any bug.

Overall Opinion

I use it for 6 months and I'm really pleased. This is my first external card

I remake the same choice without hesitation

utopik's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " good but not great"

Characteristics

I like the aesthetics, practicality in everyday use with the cover, I wanted a better sound through headphones (CAN newer than my old Edirol FA66) for the meter and the large volume. Powerful notebook PC.

Utilization

The driver is not terrible when the computer falls asleep, it is to reboot.

6 Cubase, Live 8, it works fine level latency nothing to say about this rate the, but it lacks the possibility of internal routing, no internal DSP mixer, no MIDI either ...

Getting Started

Installs no problem, config moderately clear, but everything is explained very well, the interface is pretty.

Overall Opinion

I'm happy for her that is better than the FA-66 (ADCs that need to be much more recent), but the lack of digital I / O and internal routing nonexistent make me regret my FA-66 rather often ... It was more stable, had many more opportunities and routing flexibility. OK the sound is a little better on konnekt6, but especially the headphone that I feel the difference. Well, since I use the headset 70% of time is important. on the other hand I hate gadgets like reverb built completely useless. But I love the tactile aspect and the headphone volume separately! I bought it for troubleshooting is abroad, what it does very well, but not professional equipment in terms of functionality.

Docteur Matières Alvines Liquides's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Super Sound Card"

Since 2005, I am a bit of computer music seriously. Until I was shooting with an E-mu 1820 m (the must have card around 500 € at the time) but my needs have changed and my computer system has been modernized. My current needs are:

Track-record guitars through amps or simulators.

Voice-recording

So I squinting what was done in the field of home-studio sound cards. I do not need 20 inputs, ADAT port, 10 output. I therefore naturally oriented towards a minimalist map. Finally, in this category, sound cards are not legion. It is admittedly low-end models but low quality for correct model in good condition. There are of course the Apogee Duet, but it is only available on Mac. Then think of the RME Babyface but it remains far too expensive for my poor scholarship and has a connection too full that I did not need. Remained the Line 6 M-Audio does not attract me.

TC Electronic's seduced me first by the brand reputation that is second to none in the field of audio. Then this is the philosophy of the map that pointed me towards this model. Admittedly, the connection is rudimentary (you can either, save microphone jack / jack Hi-z, making Hi-z/Hi-z or line / line). It's little but for the lonely home-studio owners that covers most needs (we can still lament the lack of S / PDIF or noon).

Then if you look a little more about the features and specifications, we realize that the converters and preamps (less gain anyway) are the same as the Konnekt 48. So a priori rather good cam. The philosophy of the Konnekt 6 is therefore a lot of features but good quality.

Another point that I decided to turn towards this model is the true Hi-Z input. On my E-mu, Hi-Z input is 10k ohms which is far too little a deterioration of sound (treble loss) when you want to use it with a guitar or bass. There was an input impedance of 1 Megaohms which is very good.

So I decided to buy this sound card

For now, I tested it with a PC running Windows XP with a Pentium D processor, a GB of ram and it works. To install my friends, is simple. Launch the CD, do "next, next". After installing the software and drivers made, is connected via Firewire cable and it works. By laziness, I contented myself of drivers in 2008 but the card will pass on a Pentium Quadcore under Seven So I download the latest drivers. A priori, there is no reason that it does not rotate properly.

Once installation is complete. A round in the editor software. It's really minimalist and stupid as a cabbage but it is this simplicity and immediacy of the grip that seduced me. E-mu and are complicated to Patchmix were possible sources of headaches constant. Simplicity is the friend of the musician. It allows you to concentrate on music by limiting the potential technical problems.

Regarding sound quality. I was very pleasantly surprised. On the E-mu, if you push the preamp gain, mean sea fairly quickly. Same when you work and you need to mount the headset volume, we get a quick breath and therefore quite difficult. Here, silence is required. The preamp is neutral on the whole sound spectrum. I will not say it's worth the Millennia or Manley, I have not tested. But to my ears worn by the decibels, the preamp can be described as neutral and dynamic. Plug-ins provide the desired color.

DI function is also very good. I have a direct box BSS AR-133. Well, very clever one that makes the difference with the DI internal TC Konnekt 6. To record guitars through simulation software is really the foot.

I do not venture to compare the sound quality with that of more expensive models (Apogee Duet or Babyface at the top) but I think it is played with a few hairs of c ** near. A map is a serious serious card. Point!.

Finally, I put 9 / 10. One point less because I liked the S / PDIF and MIDI. This is not fatal but good.

ahoupa's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " great product"

Characteristics

I was looking for a sound card for voice and guitar: it fulfills its role very well, the bulk volume pot and saw the large VU meter is very comfortable to use, the switch to select the config entry is also very practical

super sound card, stable, transparent converters, very pleasant to use. I found the TC mark with this product and since it's a brand that I use also in other fields (pedal guitar, later a live voice can be). To me, his reputation is well deserved.

Today, I will go more towards a table with 8 or 16 tracks integrated FW but another budget, anyway, for the price, which declined, is straightforwardly a good plan for a map of this type. is a good investment if two tracks are sufficient for registration.

Characteristics

see site builder

Utilization

RAS it works

It works very well with dual core processors, contrary to what we just read in other reviews ...

Getting Started

I'll make it short:

- Hassle-free installation! (Driver to win 7 days)

- Quality of the preamp: all sound cards that I had (motu, rme, m-audio, esi, edirol) is best for me! beautiful sheen in the treble, bass hot, etc. ... (Personal opinion of course)

- Use: designed for use on your desktop, so quite handy

- Quality of the converters at the competition most expensive (I mean Motu, RME)

-The models of the brands with more inputs have a few concerns about fragility of knobs! No problem with that?!

Basically-quality TC Electronic!

It lacks that speech!

Overall Opinion

If you want a small sound card, which has the status of large, well this is an excellent choice for money it has no competition at this price! And I've had sound cards ...

it lacks an ADAT I / O (such as RME babyface) to make the best of the genre, engineers at TC if you hear me ...

stega's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

Characteristics

interface table far from being ugly, with manufactures srieux. Everything is there, including pramp of hell, trs good converters, a log of his excellent CONTRL raffichable and also from the card using the button panel.

Utilization

In beginners, the c'tait galre. the install does not pose a problem, but I had cracks and drop out is to say to skip unwanted and frankly dsagrable. Today everything is normalized thanks notably to buy a firewire card of good quality.

Well I en16/44 remains, for most display resolutions leves I'll see if a password with new projects but I think so, at least for the 24/48.

With the card it has a trs good reverb, the M40. But in the end his greed in system resources that I use very little.

Getting Started

no worries, the manual is well done and plutt tlchargeable in French. But as I said prcdemment bav config to make stable, the sudden I drop the note.

Overall Opinion

I use it for some months now. The only thing I could blame him, it's no button to the power supply fantme. TCNear is through the log that gre card and I find a bit annoying.

Tc before, I had a Mindprint Trio USB. both cards are not comparable. The trio is really a strip Designed and superbly couraging, trs intuitive in its use, with a typical analog pramp and a compressor all but con gnial.

The TC is the pramp trs natural, finest, best Dfine, but much less hot.

Both cards are well finished trs. The trio has a more "musician", the Konnekt ct a more "computer". I think, but my ears are the amateur speaking, the converters are the Konnekt suprieurs hair.

Finally, for lovers of beautiful sound that is like me a little hay, two cards under 200 euros, which have a ratio quality price.

Samulator's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

So with regard to the drivers, it is not compatible with dual-core processor. I have an intel core 2 duo, and because of this incompatibility trs trslgre I latency in the back of the headphone. It is not death but considering the price it is reasonable to expect a product that works perfectly. So I have the latest driver updates downloads but this problem has not rsolu rverbe the contrary does not work ...

Overall Opinion

Otherwise hardware trs damn well, the knobs are enjoyable and most important sound is to go.

pipodirt's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

Characteristics

Hello all, I just post a notice of debauchery to provide precision on this card, it says it all possde 2 inputs and 2 outputs, but it Ralite possde 4 outputs, in fact via the control panel you can either merge the outputs 1-2 on headphones and monitor, but you can also assign outputs 3-4 for the headphone: this allows to have a headphone back diffrent for example, if you want to do a dj set, or a different mix of this is meant for a singer ...

This card is really great for a dj that also would need two outputs Stros!

I have not enough experience, but at least I have a guitar and bass as well meileur through the TonePort to line6, there's headroom, and many frquences ...
