All user reviews of 4/5 for the Edirol UA-1000

The Edirol UA1000 only works with a Windows XP machine (unless they have changed the drivers from the time I was using it). It is a 10 in and 10 out interface that works via USB. I have gotten nothing but high quality audio recordings and play back with this interface. It is very versatile and has line inputs, mic inputs and even guitar inputs on it.

UTILIZATION

One of the huge downfalls on this interface is that you cannot change the sample rate on the fly (not that all interfaces allow that), you have to turn it completely off and back on after you change the sample rate and this can be a huge hassle especially when you have other people in your studio working with you and everything has to stop for a moment.

GETTING STARTED

This interface does install very easily, it took not time at all to install and start using. Even if you are brand new to installing interfaces or if you are purchasing your first interface, this could be the perfect one for you. It works with USB only, no FireWire and it works great with a desktop set up or a mobile set up as long as you are using Windows computers.

OVERALL OPINION

I have used this interface with Cubase, and a laptop that was running XP 32 bit and it never gave me any problems. It does come with a well written manual just in case but I didn’t even need to use it at all. The interface is built to last a long time and is solid. The sample rate issue was the only problem that I didn’t like about it but it does have a rotary switch that offers 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz sample rates. But switching the unit off any time I wanted to switch was a huge hassle and I absolutely messed up my workflow many times.

I must say I t attracted by the USB 2.0, and with Edirol, I never ue surprise.
Intgre in my rack, under the effects DIFFERENT bass and guitar, it has no pb installation possible, rather reliable under WinXP, the card I compltement suprime the latency .
I use it with Pro Logic 5.5 platinum, and large type plugins, Trilogy, Symphony Orchestra, etc ...
In addition, I record live guitar, bass, vocals and even an electronic drum V-Session drum set.
Nothing to say except a little sorry for the doc is still not available in French.

UTILIZATION

No bp installation. no conflict, all without a hitch.
Be careful however to PC USB controllers, as it is USB 2, do not plug into a controller or is already a usb1 peripherals as the controller of the PC assigns the lowest (c is to say in usb1).
In most cases, the PC are two teams of USB controllers, so you must make sure to put all usb1 peripherals (mouse, keyboard, etc ...) and usb2 on the other controllers.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are stable trs, there is no update at this time to my knowledge.
I have for now Russia recorded 8 tracks at the same time without pb

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this card ds its release, the advantage of the 10 inputs and 10 outputs of these (combined SPDIF, audio) lets you mix all for monitoring.
I expect nothing else from a card at the moment, at least according to my needs.
