Published on 11/10/12 at 05:36What motivated me to buy this card was the number input pre-amp (4 xlr). At the time it was the only card that offered as input for a reasonable price.
As I am a drummer, I wanted to provide decision-battery.
2 headphone jacks are also super helpful when we bump two. The six outputs are very useful and thanks to Driver can route all inputs and outputs a good point.
I use it with an ASUS under Windows7 4GB of ram and i7 processor so a good Pc.
I rather use the card with Cubase and Reason in rewire. Now this is Live, but not particularly Pb. I've always managed to make my mix without much bug. anyway I do not think with a super bug to € 1000 does not exist!
UTILIZATION
The driver is stable but there are still some plays that come in addition to the signal when recording or they are from time to time to listen too. They are related to the buffer size, the problem is solved by increasing but it has increased the latency so this is a story included in each record.
The driver has not been updated since the release of Seven but working well and I believe a new version of this card came out so it is not likely to see another update.
At 14ms latency can be achieved in buffer with 512 to 44100kHz sampling okay!
Against by the little problem with this card is the detection at startup. This is a USB card and the PC should detect it for it to work. and according to the weather condition (no I'm not kidding), it more or less difficult to be detected.
Anecdote: I had an outdoor concert on a stage set up in town a hot day. There was no roof on the scene and the card was therefore exposed to significant heat. Because I took good sunburn! Making it impossible to detect the sound card. No sound card not together! So the only solution was to put the card in the fridge to see if it worked lower temperature. 15-20min after a short stay in the fridge, as if by magic it worked.
So this is the weak point of this card.
GETTING STARTED
The second point is that the damage plastic knobs disintegrates ca not very clean but ca n alter the operation of the card.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 3 years now and I always use it every day also.
This is my first sound card and I'm pretty satisfied. I mix less today but very practical for everyday use.
What I like most about this card: ease of use, pre-amplified inputs and stability.
What I like least about this card: detecting the start of the card that requires several attempts each time.
I think I remake this choice, but perhaps for the same card, version new.
For my use now I do not even useful to change.
