Hello,
Happy owner of an M-Audio Fast Track II, Edirol UA-4FX, and Novation NIO 2 / 4, and yes home network and multiple configurations, I wanted to change your look and get involved in too many possibilities without interface sound. As soon as I saw her I loved her VU meters and design, but also the software package was attractive as the price. The dual effects of the instrument and singing was of course a major asset. It has everything except a great MIDI, but I use an interface. I insist on singing for the opinions span over the instruments, pre-amps are very good, the multiple effects can already apply many possibilities as to the beginner to the experienced. The simple settings, intuitive, Top .. It is installed on a conventional desktop PC Core Two Duo 8400, HDD 500G °, SATA II, ATI HD 830, switched screen 20 ", Win XP Pro 2G °. Primary uses: guitars, vocals, keyboards.
Microphones: AKG D 330 BT (a must do again) and Shure SM 58 (scene) in hardware on Vox Amplifiers and PA: pre-mixer occasionally amplified, 24 tracks and especially a vocoder Electro-Harmonix V256, a must also .

UTILIZATION

The drivers are stable, an interface called Line 6 Monkey takes care of updates, but no problem, such as latency, so far the USB PCI to face, of course, good brand, and often less expensive.

I use maps and software interfaces provided as Ableton Live Lite (updated 8010 free), Cubase LE4, Sonar, Reason Adapted, Pro Audio Tools-Lite, etc. ..

I use no more than 16 tracks, I am suffit.J 'wins a latency 5 entrance to 6 ms in soft, it is possible to use hardware buffers and fall to 0 / 1 but not always swift and steady.

GETTING STARTED

Easy installation, the CDs to install a USB cable to connect ..
As already mentioned, also very simple to configure. No incompatibilities encountered.
The manual? Frankly, I never got used, or too highly intuitive Pod Farm, outside the bundled software does not require a manual, then I do not need.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 18 months or a little more, in fact I missed her well in her range.
Said, yes of course: I've tested several USB (like PCI), a FireWire without rancor, but not a good model, which allows me to look elsewhere.
The special? Pod Farm nice to start directly, the number and type of inputs and outputs,
monitoring, the ease and after Softs provided significant (Ableton, Reason, Riff Works 4
Pod Farm and the drivers).
Two little less: plastic case (uh, they all are at this price) but with a look tough, and he will miss the Midi in / out for some users.
The value for money to date: Go for it!

If I had been robbing, like my Novation and Edirol, a little more complex to assess, but excellent, I would buy first.

I would do this choice in this price range, hard to beat, what a must.

I put 9 here for two little less.
