- What technical specifications motivated your choice? versatility.
- For what purpose? home studio with the multi-core PC assembled for this purpose
- What is your config (motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)? DG965SS, Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.4 GHz), 4GB RAM, two hard drives: 80GB (OS, office) and 500GB (give, backup)
- Which instruments or Systmes (console, prampli, DTD ...) you use it and how connections? ... mainly uses the analog instruments, guitar fender start + AX1500G Korg, Fender P-Bass Deluxe, Audix OM5, SE Electronics M1C + RME QuadMic, Kawai CA5 digital piano via MIDI, well, you name it.

UTILIZATION

- Installation is it without problem? Nickel: opens your PC, you plug the PCI card, you the branches polyface you boots.
- Have you experienced any incompatibility? nan
- The configuration gnrale is easy? conf ... ah yes, the TotalMix. A bit strange to beginners, but you soon realize the schmilleblicque, and frankly, provides a max.
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ... not read.

GETTING STARTED

- The drivers are stable? nan, a nice round rolls I use Linux (Kubuntu)
- Are they often put day? chpas. has followed the evolution of the ALSA drivers that are part of the Linux kernel.
- What software do you use most often? JACK audio server with all the software suite compatible with Ardour (DAW software), software bote Hydrogen rate, effects plugins LDSPA, DSSI and VST for Linux, Rosegarden MIDI sequencer, pfff, are so many things Linux, I can not quite numrer
- What you get lag? 1.3M
- How many tracks you get record / playback simultanment? ... chpas. I did not test all the tracks simultanment. I can certainly read a lot of tracks with no problem. Save plusiseurs too, but one of these four, I will test a nag. For the time saying anything is perfect.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it? less than a week to replace my Delta1010-LT.
- What is the particular feature you like best and least? the most versatility (for that was I bought it), you plug whatever you want, you come away what you want. For example, as the JACK server is a bit exclusive software reads mp3, ogg, etc, I usually redirect the output of the soundcard of my motherboard (onboard chip) to the Multiface. So I let it run my radio or my net collection of mp3, while log on my own compositions, thanks to the multi-routing of really versatile multifaceted. Minimum: took me a few hours before to capture the subtle TotalMix (call hdspmixer Linux) but I have not read the manual (thin excuse, I know;). on the other hand, for those who complain about the lack of mic and phantom power supply, the Multiface is not for a. I knew the purchase and I chop the QuadMic by the same occasion (very happy with the thing too).
- How do you report qualitprix? Is a bit chros but frankly, provides a well. And then at RME, these are really pros. Nan has the same level, when done for money.
- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ... mmmm, yeah, I think, but I have not explored what is multifaceted in the gut. has not delay, once my studio is "achevquot, (mmmmm, that's the kind of thing that is beyond the grasp I think ...) and I record live bands.
