    The Echo Layla 24 is a great rack able audio interface that I was so thankful to have a few years ago. Keep in mind that if you are looking for this device that it is no longer being created, they have upgraded it a little while go. But you can still find these online and people are getting rid of them to upgrade. I have seen some go online for really cheap recently. If you can get your hands on this interface for cheap it’s a steal. This is a very great interface with enough ins and outs to run your whole studio. If you have a lot of gear, you can have it all hooked up at the same time and never had to unplug anything in order to get new gear hooked up. I love having the ability to not hav…

    The Echo Layla 24 is a great rack able audio interface that I was so thankful to have a few years ago. Keep in mind that if you are looking for this device that it is no longer being created, they have upgraded it a little while go. But you can still find these online and people are getting rid of them to upgrade. I have seen some go online for really cheap recently. If you can get your hands on this interface for cheap it’s a steal. This is a very great interface with enough ins and outs to run your whole studio. If you have a lot of gear, you can have it all hooked up at the same time and never had to unplug anything in order to get new gear hooked up. I love having the ability to not have to unplug a mic, just to plug in a different mic. That was the sole reason why I purchased this interface, I was at first worried because I had not heard of Echo before nor its interfaces. But after the guy at the store told me it was a good unit and I had a money back grantee I didn’t have anything to lose so I got it.


    UTILIZATION

    It is a pretty simple unit, there isn’t anything on the front of the unit at all, it looks very stylish. The back of it is where everything is at, you wont need to even look at a manual because there is nothing to understand, everything on the back of the unit is labeled and ready to have your stuff plugged in.


    GETTING STARTED

    No lag, and it provides a great sound. You cant beat that.


    OVERALL OPINION

    I think this unit is a steal now. When it first came out it was affordable but probably still a little too expensive for the average person to invest into a piece of gear from a company they have never heard of. If you want the newer version look into the Layla 3g. It is great as well, just newer and more expensive.

    The 8 I / O really motivated me. When I found this qu'tait the ADAT port and that it possdait 1, j'tait in heaven ...
    I use it mainly for the home studio, 8 tracks often at the same time.
    I also intended to record live I just bought a 2nd ... (I have a rack prfre Converto, issue of resolutions and price ...)
    P IV 3G, 2 GB Ram, Sata 2 HDD, the bte short runs without worry now.

    No AES / EBU output (but the ADAT and S / PDIF support sync without too much trouble), I / O Jacks symtriques (no XLR avanatges ... for me, inconvniant for others. ..)

    UTILIZATION

    No worries, easy installation only.

    English manual (do not worry but hey, tt the world is not English ...)

    GETTING STARTED

    Simultanment 8 tracks, add-on month-end ds that I tested the 2 cards together ...
    No worries as VST32 not really tried in SX.
    6ms in 96kHz .... Royal.

    OVERALL OPINION

    2 years I trimballe ... and it's even gone to a piece of tps ...
    The face of the bte ... arf, I love it, simple, effective ... tjs
    Without hsit I will make the same choice, too ... that's what I did.
    Although an expensive purchase hair leaving it MRIT that s'interresse it. Not requiring prampli (I think they are worse than forcment pramp rack rate requires ...) I do not reproach her.
    9 total because nobody is perfect ...

    UP: 16 track analog 2 cards thanks ... Its price chutte free, but it is excellent.
    NICKEL!

    (Originally written by tweak/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
    Very good sound card with comprehensive and professional connections.

    In the beginning I used it to record single tracks and now I use it for multitrack recording.

    My computer is a bit old: I bought it in 2004. It's a P4 2.8 GHz with 1 GB Ram.

    The sound card is connected to a mixer via a patchbay. It gives me a great routing flexibility. I use it to record synths, samplers and drum machines.

    UTILIZATION

    I needed some time to find out which of my 3 PCI ports worked good with it. The computer crashed while booting with two of the PCI ports. So it was not easy to find the right port. The installation is easy an…

    Very good sound card with comprehensive and professional connections.

    In the beginning I used it to record single tracks and now I use it for multitrack recording.

    My computer is a bit old: I bought it in 2004. It's a P4 2.8 GHz with 1 GB Ram.

    The sound card is connected to a mixer via a patchbay. It gives me a great routing flexibility. I use it to record synths, samplers and drum machines.

    UTILIZATION

    I needed some time to find out which of my 3 PCI ports worked good with it. The computer crashed while booting with two of the PCI ports. So it was not easy to find the right port. The installation is easy and fast. Install the driver, reboot, connect the card, reboot again, turn on.

    The first time I used it the sound blew me away.

    I have almost forgotten that the card is in my rack and that's perfect! It does the job very good and doesn't cause any problems.

    I almost didn't need the user's manual so I can't remember if it's good or not... That means it was well conceived.

    GETTING STARTED

    The card never crashes. I use it with Samplitude Pro 8 and Soundforge 6. It's perfect for audio playback and recording.

    I don't know how many tracks I can record simultaneously because I don't record many tracks at the same time. I had project with about 20 tracks for playback and my obsolete computer couldn't handle it.

    I don't use the internal mixer a lot because I have an external one.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've owned it for one or two years. I previously had an Edirol FA101. And I immediately heard the difference!!!

    This card is more stable and it doesn't crash. The sound is more dynamic and clearer with brilliant highs and round lows. The connections are comprehensive. The internal mixer is convenient.

    It does its job and can be mounted in a rack.

    Compared to the FA101 I can hear the improvement even with Ghost PA speakers! It's so obvious!

    I get a very good sound with a JBL LSR 4326 monitoring system. The playback is faithful to the recording. I get a huge output level and a punchy sound.

    I'm very satisfied with this product. I paid less for it than what I got for the FA101. So in the I earned some money and got a better sound. If it ever breaks it will be difficult to find a good replacement.

    One thing is for sure: I don't want a Firewire solution anymore... The next card I buy will be a Lucid Audio + PCI Adat card, for example.
