"I had a 24/96 TerraTec ew and I wanted to buy a quality business card to a better recording quality for my acoustic instruments, and above all benefit the routing offered by the card (I n 't have a mixer).
I use a PC P4 2.8 c, 1GB ram, FX 5800, 120GB HDD

UTILIZATION

Less than 2 minutes

You plug the firewire port on the card (I have an ASUS P4P800 deluxe, no problem with the port Intgr), it installs the drivers and you turn the card and it's over ...

For the synth is the happiness I can play with the impression of having no dcallage. MIDI is Intgr.

I get get a latency infrieurs 5 12 ms with audio tracks ...

What I like most is the possibility to use the card as a mixer. The routing is terrible, you can have multiple sources connected at all times just choose.

The sync works well trs. we can synchronize the map with a simple dvd TOS link.

Everything is faade volume control, input level, switch to diet. Everything is available right away without using any software, drivers are all just trs.

qualitprix the report is excellent, I do not know what that can compete with this card right now ..

Hsit I long for budget reasons, but now I could do without
