2 analog inputs 24/96

2 SPDIF inputs 24/96

8 analog outputs 24/192

2 SPDIF 24/192

MIDI I / O

The number of outputs (8) and the entries asymmetric motivated my choice

I use it to save my components and the audio of my living room (movies, zic ...) on dual AMD Athlon 64x2 3800 +, 1gb ram Asus A8N5X

Utilization

Uh ... has provided you have the right drivers on hand, ca can do it, because you can not say that TerraTec are the champions of the online versions of drivers!!

The setup is fairly easy and the control pannel is very intuitive, difficult to make clearer ...

The manual and available in englais allemend or otherwise so much for your bottles!! if so it's pretty clear for a bilingual ...

Getting Started

I use it with Cubase SX3, REASON3

There is always a problem in Cubase demarage! (Like no sound or so on a single channel, or even infernal problem of latency!) Always quick hack one hour before starting to work, it is very clenching !!!!!

Otherwise when the drivers are decidsa cooperate latency of 11.6 ms at 44.1 with 512 samples: more than adequate quantity is good but not even a shame given the price ...

Overall Opinion

I use it for 4 years already and after a 2 years between me lach (not bowl me tell you)

Most: Simplicity of use, interface well damn.

The-: Drivers crappy

qualitprix report: should not it worth more, y'en for the price, no more!

Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ... Ever, a real crap!!

Getting Started

I used up there is little for Fast Fashion and use of live tracks with 8 analog output branches on a console and machinery parallle.

Pc config: Barton 2800 +; 512ddr, SATA 120GB

Overall Opinion

Its a little cold, not much is a lot of dynamics between the card and cart machines, but for the price I think may be a good choice for a first purchase a card other than gn ralistes kind soundblaster.

Software: Foobar2000 + dsp-crossover

Utilization

The installation is hard nickel, consider putting the card on a PCI irq which is not shared at the lowest possible level of the motherboard, and empty as far as possible of any motor function type fan.

the app is installed nickel, at least in xp. I download any drivers directly on the site TerraTec (driver 5.22, one provided on the CD is the installation of 5.21). No drivers for linux as usual, the drivers must go through common Envy24.

The test rmaa55: http://blokoss.perso.cegetel.net/enceintes.htm

Getting Started

Config panel is clear: I use 4 pots at all, and I will. Only BMOL, it's cute to propose to change the colors of the panel, but I'm saving my skin leaving it always recharge the default! it's not what's going to m'empcher cost of the same but when zic -> -1!

Another thing, it is sometimes impossible to use at the same time using several software resources of the card. I think that is what is called full-duplex, well this card does not gre or so I not found the trick.

Crash of the lamentable pc when I try to send the phase 28 of the 24 bits give from Foobar2000.

Overall Opinion

I use it since May 2005, and is happiness. My goal to get the silent linear and without breath. My old Audigy2 compared his style gave me a 'loudness', including acute taient nazillards mediums. I use the phase 28 as a 3-way crossover, outputs 1.2 and 3.4 for low to midrange + treble, treble 5-6, is one of the advantages of having the multi-channel. Many cards low-end could have been me this service, but not with her as well Defines. In terms of functions purely 'studio' (latence. ..), I have no way of telling you if the height of the sound reproduction.

In short I would say that this card supports my IDE I can use my pc as a source of reliable signal, this area n'tant over the turntables cd Reserved lounge or pc configs vritablement professional and therefore expensive.

Julius Lamaye's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

Characteristics

The 8 outputs spares IN JACK 6.35 and recording 24-bit 192 kbps (in numrique) 24-bit 96 kHz analog for the price it allchant.

I use it with Reason 3.4 4.1.4 + Live in lctro mainly SoundForge 7.0 for recording (not happy see below)

Abit NFS config v2.0/athlon XP 2500 + / 512MB DDR / Radeon 9600XT on double click (squenceur of practice for the reason)

It all begins on a table Yamaha MG16 / 6 FX can spring from the analog jack 6.35

Utilization

Easy Install drivers / no bugs findings

panel config simple but effective

The manual is zero (in English too basic, too)

Getting Started

Drivers stable but not often put day

latency 20 ms in 16-bit 44.1 kHz, much less in 24 bits 96khz, but has not run with my config, overlock a 3200 + runs right but the trial is 99% a severe heat ...

NO RESPONSE BY THE MAIL FROM SAV TERRATEC POST BELOW FOR THE PROBLEM:

BIG PROBLEM VERY VERY BORING NOT POSSIBLE TO REGISTER FOR A PLAYBACK WITH MS OUTPUT (I found a disaster for the era 300E, 150E approx now) so that we can do with a basic sound card Realtek AC97 style

ex: I use Reason + Live running in playback and uses the 8 outputs, when I run SoundForge or WaveLab OR Nero Wave Editor software can not accder sound card which is monopolized. So my opinion is not the drivers for this utlisation Designed matrilement or the card can not operate in full duplex!

So I have to ultiliser a sound card for playback and one for the record if I use two DIFFERENT programs.

So basically I regret my Audigy that level at least that worked the full duplex but still a good sound card in playback, I did not test numrique.

Overall Opinion

I use it for 6 months

I regret this purchase!

CHANGE of 03/10/05:

APRS uses live and little or no crashes and a good quality of the trs to say that I use all 8 outputs simultaneously with very heavy ground frequencies and a variety of rhythms same time (techno, jungle ...) I change my mind a little too radical to end pltot be satisfied with this little card. The problem of using Reason + Live + synth and recording another program like SoundForge is still not possible, I have to go through another sound card for recording. It is the only problem noted, she will share a well.

Kando's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

Characteristics

Purchase this card mainly for the 8 outputs are separated and I / O SPDIF!

I use this card in computer music (electronic trends)!

Installed on Windows XP (Athlon XP 2800 + on ASUS A7V600 1024 DDRAM (VIA KT600 chipset)).

I use it with NUENDO REASON 2 + + + SoundForge VEGAS VIDEO!

All connected to a compressor ALESIS + AMPLIFIER 6 separate outputs (5.1 Certified).

Utilization

The installation took about a can ........ 5 minutes (no problem)

I still installed the new driver (downloaded from the website of TERRATEC).

There have no conflict with my system!

The configuration of the card is full well that child! (No useless gadgets)

The only downside to all this !...... Manual is in English only!! (Even the PDF)

Getting Started

Currently no driver problem (knock on wood)!

I do not know if they are updated often (but for now it's useless), but knowing TERRATEC I do not care!

On my set NUENDO REASON 2 + (open at the same time), I have a latency of 2 ms!

Overall Opinion

I use this card for two weeks and I have one thing to say .... BRAVO !!!!!!! TERRATEC

The sound is beautiful (crystal-clear and pure), the perfect match, the connection complete, user-friendly interface and the price ........ Pfff the price ...... (That give) !!!!!!!

Having already have lots of other audio cards (DMX6 FIRE, SoundBlaster Audigy EX, ISIS), a CREAMWARE LUNA II (which I sell to the lack of audio output, etc. ..... 5.1 incompatibility ), I can say that the PHASE 28 is the best value of any!

If I had to make another choice ...?????? PHASE 28 !!!!!!!!!!! NO PROBLEM!

Doctors's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

Characteristics

Level price / characteristic no complaints.

It runs very well with all the uses that I did, be it with fruity loops, Soundforge, Sonar.

As far as I / O was already very said about it

Parcontre to avoid problems of cracking and other delays, it is better to provide at least 512 of ram, or even 1GB

Utilization

Installation could not be simpler, no incompatibility encountered.

The control panel is clear, very intuitive, no problems to use.

The only downside is the manual that is provided only in English but which can easily happen.

Getting Started

I use it mainly with sonar and SoundForge but in terms of drivers it is imperative to use ASIO drivers if you plan to do the monitoring software to avoid latency enormous.

I have not pushed the limits on the number of tracks read / write I wait to have 1gig of ram at home;)

Overall Opinion

This is my first sound card I use to make the home studio so I can not compare it to a autre.En any case I am completely satisfied for my use (taking voice and instrumental composition hiphop) .

It is a complete sound card, efficiency, and remains more easy to use.

It gives off a pure, very pleasant to listen (which is still better to be amplified).

Record-level, like, nothing wrong to me.

Parcontre is clear that we should not be afraid to add more RAM to your config if you encounter problems of flow in reading.

Purchased on homestudio.fr 140euros, I believe that the price / quality ratio is diffilement beatable.

If I had to make another choice, I would do the same it's clear!

Michael2Nice's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

Characteristics

The specifications for the price m have intrss. I m is composed for my characters. j using cubase, reason and SoundForge t racks. my config: p4 2.8c Asus P4P800 Deluxe, video radeon 9600 pro, and 2048 ram. No I have no table ...

Utilization

At TerraTec, we look tjs The definition of the word "update" in the dictionary. then c comptaiblit level is not great, for example, with consumer software such as WinDVD intervido, or Half Life 2. ok good, for her it s not care. but we must take into account the fact that the pc does not serve to make unikment son.le manual is blah, and I haven t done the installation, I've bought with the rest of the components then I am the Mountain .

Getting Started

Then I do not know .. is it I who am no one, or there is bad air in my home? the control pannel is very "rebel" he never asks what I do, it is necessary that I insisted that it heavily to do what I ask. So a bad thing. Then, she likes n not prsence of another card, for various reasons j I install the drivers for the sound card and P4P800 intgre ds the switch between the two depending on use. No it was not love at all!

in terms of sound, a sound cold, very cold. we sense the German product.

Overall Opinion

I lai depusi over a year. the price is good, but hey, it was worth our money. if the choice had to be rebuilt, I will save more to buy a RME or M Audio.
