Value For Money : Excellent
I knew nothing, but then nothing, computer recording gear / at the time of purchase.
Simplissime
Before:
- Port 1 XLR (with a microphone designed to side)
- 1 port jack (with a guitar drawn side)
- 1 port jack (with headphones designed ... childish!)
Rear
- USB port
- RCA ports


One branch, is installed, you click, you can play, record ... Easy!

UTILIZATION

Minimum version of pro tools "provided" software (see how below) only two recording tracks (anyway there are only two entries ...) minimum "widely vital for me" in settings ( compression, equalizer, reverb, effects ...).
I did not make any update or other, nothing downloaded, I have little or no problems, I do not even know how I say ram, but my cheap PC always want the shock to some I do not superimpose a dozen tracks.
Never had a problem of latency or other type ...

GETTING STARTED

Easy installation of the card from the cd / driver, but have to download protools while it is supposed to be on the driver, it has never been "released" from his cd.
1 worries: sometimes, when everything works, I sound the boititer is not recognized by pro tools, it is not the card once launched, it must restart the PC and sure it works every time. ..
You should go in trying / fiddling without departing from live on a big project.
I have never used a manual ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost two years I have been recording in a pro and I am not going to compare things that are not comparable ...
Become familiar only with pro tools is difficult and sometimes you know people who know ... but what if you walk starts manage!
I never used the manual, very terse, but I think music must often rely on a self and just try ... experiment!
I used to record my bass live sound is a little disappointing, but the good retouching something nice we get, I also did amping.
I also used to singing and got a result not too bad with a crappy mike!
I also placed a drum machine that protools has boosted with simple settings ... short there are enough to make a decent enough model.
I appreciate the extreme simplicity of the thing, which is more the price has dropped significantly (about 50 € in 2 years) since my purchase. Today for just € 80 you can become familiar with the recording, listen to play with good sound ...
Frankly I do not regret this purchase!
Now if you want something really professional this is not the case and you have to pay the price ...
